GOD SAVE US I mean us... not the US.. not them.. but US!
Because of the weak dollar - which the UAE dirham is pegged to - and the stagnant US market, with its strict seniority system, Emirates is recruiting around half of its pilots from North America - most from the regional sector..... "We have found a niche there. We can give regional pilots an opportunity to gain widebody command in a way they wouldn't at home," he says. "If you are a regional first officer at 40, you will probably never become a 777 captain. The strict seniority and Scope rules make it tough for these guys."
