And add to the Pilot, FA & Engineer numbers required for the forth coming A/C TC wants a 10% reduction in wages across the whole company, Managers Bonus's the exception.
That should attract some quality & quantity of course

4000 hours for FO
I applied at Emirates and they wrote back and said to apply again when I get 4000 hours. I currently have 3800 hours and PIC types in Falcon 2000 and King Air 350. Tubine time is about 2300 hours. I currently fly left seat in Saudi Arabia for Medevac. Emirates didn't seem to interested in talking to me.

A380 Driver,
I have applied to EK on line and went to their UK roadshow, but I am about 50 hours short of the 2500 hrs Jet Time required. I have also contacted one of the recruitment Captains to keep him posted, and I have leave coming up in August, do you think that EK will be recruiting for the foreseeable future, where I could arrange an interview date at the end of August?. Im on the737 by the way.
Many thanks.

Thanks. What fleet are you on and do you think the EK will order anymore aircraft at the Farnborough Air show? Thanks again I'll submit my on line application in the next days and see what happens.

hi
1)is the new recruitment drive (700 in 18 months) only aimed at covering the new deliveries or is it also happening because of the rostering issues?
2) after searching previous discussions, I read that 777 guys fly around 90 hours with 13-15 days off
A330 guys fly around 80 hours with 8-10 days off / month. still true?
3) I read that Al barsha was the location where single pilots get their housing. is that still the case ? and is it the only option?
many thanks

si jet,
Yes, rumors of a Boeing order at Farnbourough.
Savi,
1) both
2) pretty much true but recognized as unsustainable. Aim is for around 85 hrs/mth, part of the reason for all the recruiting!
3) Singletons get put in any one of a number of Apartment complexes throughout the city- basically depends on what is available. No choice, you get put where you get put. I believe there is some scope to move once established on an opportunity basis, for those living in Apartments (MUCH harder for Villa residents)

My roster just came out (airbus) with me working to 1 minute (!) short of the 92 hour productivity target! Am already pretty well sh***ed from the current months flying!
For your info, too - the policy here is that sick days are counted as days off towards roster legality!
Enjoy!

captainsmiffym,

1 how many days off do you have?
2) rough estimate of the turnarounds/ layover ratio?
3 how many turnarounds nights to india, if any?
thanks

....Saviboy...have I feeling we might know each other?!
The 91:59 roster comprises 2 australian trips and 3 night turnarounds to the indian sub-continent plus an african tour. Oh and some groundschooling thrown in for good measure. There are also 9 days off, a reserve day, an available day and some rest days in order to ensure that I know which side is up for my next trip. (Just realised that any more utilisation of me on the reserve days/available days means overtime! Trouble is, the body will be too knackered to enjoy it and 'er indoors will spend it!). That is the current reality of mixed-fleet flying here on the airbus....

(2) My 777 roster generally between 80-90 hours for the last 12 months, with 12-15 TRUE days off, plus a few rest days (before v.early and after v.late flts).
I bid for 2-3 day trips away so don't get too many days off in a row but it suits me fine. If I wanted longer I'd bid for specific days off not specific trips.
Tend to get a lot of 3am departures on lower bid months but nott too bad as long as they are trips and not night-turnarounds to India.
Probably had about 5 night turns this year so far. Not too bad.
No roster is commutable and the Company doesn't want you to anyway. That's set in stone and a fact of life. Don't come here hoping to work something out in that regard; it's like that - that's just the way it is.
(3) Single (unmarried even with gf) guys get 2 bed apts anywhere south of the creek. I joined almost 2 years ago as a married F.O. and cheekily asked for an apartment with balcony near Jumeirah Beach - which I got! - You dob;t ask you don't get!... No shortage of accommodation anymore but if I have one piece of advice it would be to ask for somewhere owned by Sheikh Ahmed / Emirates, as any other 'leased' building will only have a 12 month renegotiated lease which means you can get kicked out with only a few weeks notice - yes it has and will continue to happen. TECOM Bldg and Garden apts are examples of EK owned properties - very nice but very quiet, and definitely not the party central that some f/o's may be looking for...

That's pretty big news if indeed true considering the morale company wide. Can you shed some light on that statement? What is the reliability of your source?

Applied yesterday and got an email back saying i don't have 2000 hrs jet over 30tonnes. I have over 6000 hrs and am a captain on a 737 but am not qualified for an FO? I think they will have a hard time getting enough guys.

The Mins
Here are the minimum quals, for F/O straight from the EK recruitment website for those that can't be bothered to check before they apply and then get bounced back.
- A minimum of 4000 hours total flying time (may include 25% P3 or FEO time to a max of 500 hr).
- A minimum of 2000 hours multi-crew, multi-engine jet aircraft (P3 time cannot be used for this requirement).
OR
- A minimum of 2500 hours total flying time on a modern commercial multi-engine, multi-crew aircraft jet. (P3 time cannot be used for this requirement)
- Must hold a valid ICAO ATPL
- English language fluency (written and verbal comprehension); ICAO English level (4 or above)
- Experience commensurate with age
- Type rated would be advantage
Yes they will struggle to get qualified people when they do I'm sure something will change
