Hey Bobsinclar,
Don't bother applying.
In EK, they expect their crew to be able to speak & write reasonably good English.
Best books for you are on "Basic English Grammar"!

Bob,
I think sandcastle has been in the sun too long.
Check out www.emirates.com, it has all you need to know about what you need to get a look in to the selection process.
For the interview all you have to do is be yourself. It is not a hard process, but it is thorough. There is a book on the process, but I am unsure as to how up to date it is .Try posting on the Canadian or UK forums as I am sure someone there will know where to find it, and how good it is. Also search PPRUNE as a lot of info has been posted on this matter in the past 18 months or so.
Good luck.
Don

Hi Sandcastle,

Thank you very much for your message.

So what`s wrong with my english? Maybe you`re gonna be able to help me to improve my english language skills and to give me some advices before my interview.....??
I would be very happy if you could do it for me.

Thanks in advance

"For the interview all you have to do is be yourself." Oh really....?

Did you mention the crew song, or the scream assist?

Hope you're having fun in the sand.

double,
Flare assist is now an automatic call (not quite the same really!). And I might have forgot to mention the crew song, but besides that, (and maybe just a few tiny other things), it was "be yourself..." .. or was it someone else??? Best I have a beer and think about it.
email me and tell me all the latest news.

Would it be possible to "exchange" minimum total time for knowledge of the Arabic language and a couple of university degrees?

[bobsinclar]

Hi Joaquin,

Unfortunately i don`t think that the minimum amount of hours can be exchanged.
Of course arabic language skills and a degree from university will undoubtedly a plus when you`ll reach the interview phase, that will show than you know other things than your pure aviation skills and that you can integrate a firm like Emirates without any problems.

But i`m sure that you know, like me , that there are many pilots working for Emirates (captains and F/O) that don`t speak a word of arabic and who have never been to University, but they had probably a lot of flight experience and were evaluated as good and safe pilots for Emirates.

So to conclude i`ll say that if you reach the minimum amount of hours required you`ll have an advantage compared to other applicants with your degrees and your arabic language skills.

Good luck...........

Let’s be real – “be yourself” is making it sound a bit too easy. Go and buy a book on psycho tests – read it – go take the test without a hangover - and if they ask whether you prepared, tell them the truth – it’s an important test - who would go unprepared? I took it 6 years ago in FRA – it was nervous FUN – very professionally done – they even paid dinner – and please don’t go and pay someone for “preparation” – these courses are a scam.

Good luck…
