The Gap-Filler Option
if you're ready for short term approaches you can submit your willingness for any date even with minimum forerun. You're going to be handled as "Gap-Filler" for other applicants who cancel their dates even short.

trick works somtimes:ugh:
Standbylist with anytime readyness works sometimes. Maybe an option to pep your application to get over the wall. I visited Dubai this weekend for some assessment preparation but for Fly Dubai and enjoyed the beautiful area.
Maybe in May or June I'm going to turn back for the next course to prepare Emirates-Selections. Flights are cheap, Hotel BB only GBP 85/night :-) So why not enjoy the sun in Dubai for weekend and combine it with your career.

not on behalf of Emirates or Fly Dubai
... it was not on behalf of Emirates or Fly Dubai it was an ATTC-Course. Actually it was a preparation for Saudia Pilots but contents of so called Pilapt-Test seems very close to the Fly Dubai assessment. Same Team-Exercises, Multitasking etc. A friend of mine failed the test with CTC for Fly Dubai in early April. So good preparation for the test might be essential. As mentioned before, nice weekend with some effective training. But (no joke!) rain in Dubai on Saturday!
Emirates selection is different from Fly Dubai, that's why I'm going to repeat it in May or June.

Application Status???
G'day all.
I'm less than 100 hours now off the min requirements for EK employement (2000 TTL FO Jet is what's restricting me only).
My Application status was showing in Grey "Under Review" however after submitting an update it has now changed in grey to "Applied".
Any insight into the update status meanings & what to expect, how it works would be greatly appreciated,
Cheers

Interview prep
Hi there, can anyone give me some advise on what's the best materials to go through when preparing for the EK interview...(books, websites, tips, etc) will be appreciated..!
How good are the books "ACE The technical Pilot interview" or "The Complete Airline pilot interview" ...the titles seem good but what about the content!? Is it worth the $25 or so...surely they are cheaper than paying more money on some websites out there...I guess what i want to know is if they are really helpful and close to reality..!!!!?
How are you preparing for the big day!?
Thanks for your replies!

ACE
Rgjr,
ACE is probably one of the best materials to help you prepare for the Emirates interview.
A little vast but still the best.
Know it backwards.
And forwards please...

It will prob take you one afternoon, but within it you will find the exact interview and selection process. I guarantee you
Good luck.

500 hour short consideration
To join Emirates, candidates must have a minimum of 4000 total and 2000 multi-engine jet hours; or a total of 2500 hours on a modern, commercial multi-engine, multi-crew jet aircraft (please note we do not accept simulator time for flying hours calculation), ICAO ATPL and ICAO English level (4 or above). To be invited to the Selection Programme in Dubai, we will consider candidates who are short up to 500 hours of the above requirements
This 500 HOUR short consideration is no longer on the website. Can anyone tell me if it is still valid or if anyone has been invited to the interview with 500 Hours short of the minimum 2500 hour condition.

Playmates for Emirates assessment preparation in London
Yesterday I had a phone call with ATTC London, they're going to conduct next Emirates preparation from 07/31 at STN, it lasts 3 days, with the option of free of charge repetition close to the actual test date. I used a similar course April in Dubai. They pledged some discounts for group registrations from at least 3. Don't know wether some mates are already registered or intend to register soon, but if a few get together prices could become more suitable for poor pilots

DEFO A380 closed? Still on the website as far as far as I can see.
Otherwise the shortest recruitment drive in the world!
Why the new requirements? From whats seen on here plenty of Bus guys out there with the minimum hours, and more for the position.
