Don't know the average age but I'm guessing about 35. As a general rule EK doesn't employ young jerks, most FOs are experienced in international wide body ops, or have had narrow body commands.
Don't mix the UAE local program with the expat one, they don't compare and are totally different concepts.
If you think your going to come here and cuff it you'll be caught out big time. There is no spoon feeding and you will be expected to know your sh&%t and perform or pack your bongos and F&%k of back to where u came from.
The flying is hard, real hard, so if you think flying 8 sectors a day for a low cost carrier blah blah blah is hard work you ain't seen nothin....
If your not capable of flying across the globe feeling like s*&t and landing the aircraft in crap weather having been awake for 24 hours then this may not be your bag.
To summarize this is no holiday in the sun, its hard work, and you'll have to have your act together this applies to DECs as well.
Wooza fuzz where did ya get that 16 figure from I thought EK was running at about 8.4 crew per A/C at present...

Yes, now you mention it, it shoud have been 8*16, not 16*16 (I was thinking pilots per A/C, but only one of them gets the LHS.)
