Still trying to process the applications from direct entry Captains, I believe. From all accounts they certainly NEED them.

No direct entry Captains ( at least for the time being) but company does reserve the right should the need arise. A310 driver in mid thirties has every chance of gaining an interview assuming he/she meets min requirements of 1000jet/2500 total. Emirates need lots more pilots so keep application updated.

Lots of people applying but lots of jobs too so keep trying! A great company and a great place to live. My standard of living has improved greatly and my peers are all top drawer. I would definately recommend it but it may take some time. Well worth the effort!
Good Luck
Bob

For 411A, in whatever dole line he may happen to be:

Only problem in "calling 'em" is your head is so far up your ass you will need surgery to "see 'em".

I hope you enjoy your hobby, it's a source of continual amusement (tinged with contempt) for all of us who have jobs.

DroppThePilot-
From your attitude, I would presume that you were dropped on your head (repeatedly) as a small child.

411A - Your initial doesn't happen to be "RB" is it? Perhaps you are the "Butts" of everyone elses jokes.

I'm working on the airbus for another airline in the golf, I came here to get closer to EK, but recently somebody told me about an anti poaching agreement between GF,QR, and EK is it true???

Thanks

OK Speedbrake spill the beans
I applied for EK just before Xmas and in between sectors await the infamous phone call from them.
Explain how a tax free salary and free accomodation, sunshine, beaches and sorts would not be the best,
By the way any EK recruiters reading this Im actually current on 4 jet transport aircraft and bloody good at flying all of them
keep well all and it comes to all who wait

OK, so you seem really interested in the TAX FREE salary....with FO starting on 16040 DHS/month which is around 3200 quid/month amounting to some 32000quid a year...which really aint that much more than say flying with BA or QF on a 757/767/777 320/330 after tax.

OK benefits being accomodation paid for along with utilities and education allowance for dependant kiddies!

Draw backs.....stay with BA or QF for most of your career and you'll retire on a pension equivilent to your Capt salary on the 747..(or possibly the A380).
With EK you'll get given an emirates watch, a gift voucher and a hand shake saying cheers for 15-20 yrs service!! You way it up! Although they do have some scheme in place.

On the whole EK is a great carrier DXB is a great place to live, the beaches are fine and the place is very liberal....the wx well if you like hot+humid 8 months/year you've got it made.

All the best.

Thumbs up

YPJT...ummmh! How many FOs make £3200 hard cash, no bills, and have sun day in day out in the UK? I wouldn't make that as a Captain in the UK.
EK is in expansive mode. I have absolutely no complaints with the company. No arse licking involved here but I have to admit to be having the best time of my life. The management is probably the best I've ever seen. The training department likewise.
It's hot here for about 3 months when you choose your time to go out ( but it was the same in the UK...but about 6 months of the year when you stayed inside or froze!).
This is the first time in my career that I have money left over at the end of each month and have a great time during it!
I would recommend it to anyone. Good Luck to all those trying to get in. It's worth it!
