Is it true Emirates accepts Herc, P3 (heavy turboprop) time in lieu of jet??

[10hrshome]

I heard "third hand" that Emirates may accept P3, Herc, Electra, and Aurora time (Allison Turbo-prop) in lieu of ".....2000hr multi-crew, multi-engine jet". If anyone may be able to confirm or deny this, your input is greatly appreciated....Cheers

They don't seem to on their web application form.

There was one precedent a couple of years ago. An ex-UAE airforce C-130 driver. He is a 777 skipper now. Can't recall anybody else.

Yeah and probably only happened because hes from the UAE!

Short answer - no.

... but watch this space.

My prediction: within 18 months they will.

Give it another few months and they'll accept 10 mins solo glider time off Sutten Bank!!

Desperate isn't the word.
