With an A330 rating I know I'd look at EK and the 'unmentionable one' down the road first. Even Qatar would cross my mind.

Gmax said he's flying in North America, why does it have to be the US?
He's probably flying in Canada for that salary...
Emirates? With 92h a month??? Living in Meydan??? Upgrade in XX years? Thanks but no thanks!
Regarding Qatar, I would not compare life in Doha with Dubai.

Anyway he seems to prefer being home everyday, so that rules out the big 3.

Apart from this month where I'll be at 60h (a few flights cancelled), I averaged 80h the last few months.
Married and no kids, I can save 3500usd a month, at least.

Many thanks for your inputs. I moved on the 330 a year ago and my lifestyle is horrible. I am working at a charter airline and we don't have the same working conditions as they have at a Major. I have a hard time to deal with the jet lag; I'm always tired and not in a good mood at home. I am not interested in Emirates; ideally I would prefer to pursue my career on short haul and since I have some experience on the 737NG I am looking at the options for a FO position on this aircraft.
I am from Europe too but I've been working away for 15 years. I'd love to go back but I still have to do the EASA conversion. However all the friends over there are saying there is no job except for Captains and Cadets so I shouldn't waste my time and money.

I wonder if GMAX posting is real.

A330 at EK is short haul

Hello there,

How long does it take after the screening to get the results? I did my screening about 2 weeks ago and still nothing

Thanks,

R_D

Thanks a lot transportjock

The wait is killing me as generally results for all the screenings I have attended in the past took a week at most, so, I was wondering if they maybe forgot about me

Latetonite,

Was wondering that myself....

Any idea how big the holding pool is?

Would not the pool be wide or deep rather than big ???

Don't get too excited with no new aircraft arriving for some time at FZ don't expect a start date for at least early part of 2016.

the latest new hires all started today...

Word from the top is that will be that for 2015.

Just got over the process in Istanbul, complete BS. Everyone getting rejected by self proclaimed pilot Arthur. He was ensuring 90% of everyone there getting rejected before sims, we all discussed and realized he must be on payroll or a runner for someone else up in the company. How can this company let someone who is not qualified do this matter of time for an accident or incident to happen. hold him responsible.

Let me guess, you were on that 90% group?

@too_much

I guess your sources are wrong. I got my results last week and I have been given a date end of next month. I guess its a different scenario for the type-rated pilots.

so if they donīt need people until next year why are they calling people for more interviews in June?? specially for non-type rated people like I am.

I didnīt know they are also doing selection in IST.

I am not among 90% but will certainly turn down the offer since i don't plan to take BS from some plus reading here what everyone thinks of this company.

I was placed in the holding pool not so long ago. Any ideas if anyone has a start date?

I've been in the pool since first week of March. I am still awaiting a start date.

Cool,

March seems to be the last round of assessments. Is there anyone pre-march?

Im non rated.
