I was on selection with 2 Iranians. They did not get in, but EK would not interview anyone who they would not be allowed to employ. It costs money to select a pilot, Emirates would not waste it.

Hi
Yes unfortunately the EK group cannot hire any Iranian nationals at present because of political differences between the 2 countries.
I personally know a manager who was offered a job at EK but they would not transfer his visa even tho he lives in Dubai.It went to the highest level but to no avail.
We do have plenty of Iranians in the company but that is the situation currently.
Sorry.
Perhaps it will change in a few years.
Good luck

KF, you talk bo**ocks, EK does not care about where anyone is from, we have over 100 nationalities of pilots to prove that. At the moment there is an oversupply of pilots, particularly from the US, so at the moment we are doing lots of hiring from there. The fact that they speak something like English, helps, as communication is always a problem in a multi cultural cockpit.
The only thing the company cares about is money, so it takes those pilots that cost the least to assimilate into the organisation. Kind of makes sense doesn't it.

Spot on, I agree Cathay used to be the most resist airline in the world. They think only red arrows can fly aeroplane, what they did not realise is mean time rest of the world are flying aeroplanes.As former Joint chief of staff of USA mentioned ``thank god my father immigrated to US otherwise I will be stuck as sergeant major rest of the career``.
