Wondering if anyone has any news about recruiting plans since the accident?
Have heard of at least one turboprop only driver who was successful in DXB for PSP2 but after the accident was told he would not be offered a job. Anyone know anything about hold on recruitment for all/for turboprop drivers only?

I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone is interested in joining now? With CM inbound to clean up the mess, any new joiner now will be looking at an effective permanent position as FO doing 90-100 hours every month. Couple that with the introduction of VAT, no pay raises, no profit share for many years (if not forever...someone has to pay...), and in a place which will test your marriage to the outer fringes and then some.
But like Falcon correctly said, "theres one born every minute" !
On the upside, I'd say that coming here will eventually make you aware of, and pursue other ways to make a living that DON'T involve aviation in ANY form.
With regard to sanity testing...I'd postulate that if you applied then you'd fail!
Seriously though, I believe you will find that things are going to change here and for the better. The company has (perhaps now had) the mistaken belief that they could effectively put a monkey in the right seat and teach it to push buttons at the right time...that automation was the answer while disregarding the industry wide reality that perfectly serviceable aircraft were crashing because pilots have been trained how NOT to fly by people who hold fancy titles....who don't fly.
Now, to find some old school pilots with common sense, hands & feet abilities, RT and a dash of airmanship....

joining
Even I thought, that with new guys joining, the monthly hours would go down.
But now I realise that the only result is the increase in destinations... Remember this part of the world is driven by greed...
We all fell in the same trap... join and see!

To the gentleman and ladies you intend on applying to Emirates. Currently Qatar or about anywhere else is a better job. There is a reason we keep lowering our hiring mins . It may seem like great news to you if suddenly you meet the requirements but remember when you come to a place like emirates you are coming for years. That will be years of min rest. Years of night followed by day flights. Ask yourself why is it the min requirements have become so low compared to years gone by ? We are no longer allowed to see the seniority list . Think about that. Do you really want to come work for a company with that kind of culture ? Never mind being unable to get your contracted vacation time. Guys please think hard and long before coming.

ME has lost its appeal . EY and QR hiring DECs . Everywhere will now take longer to upgrade due to a number of reasons. One being Capts of the magenta line. Read big holes .EK knows all about the problems and issues but prefer to ignore. Latest crash won't change a thing.

TATA, why are you posting same question on various 'Threads'?
Besides, based on your English, I assume that your instructors weren't able to get across to you what they needed you to understand.

This is so sad , Emirates to become like that , I think because of the wrong recruitment policy , they were recruiting very few or in other words specific nationalities , in the mean time , the neighbouring airline done the most hiring . Now they fall behind in their manpower , can't get neither DEC nor FO ,that backed fired on the line pilots resulted in terrible rosters and horrendous monthly hours ,unlike QR which was behind few years ago and now became very stable in rostores and better pay .

BroBear--they never give feedback as to the exact reason you failed. It may have been a COMBINATION of the sim and the interview/questions.
It might be worth finding some coaching on interviews. At the very least, try and remember the questions they asked, write them down, research some more typical questions and then PRACTICE. Not just sitting and reading the question and 'thinking' about the answer but rather have someone play the role of interviewer and VERBALIZE you answer. Knowing what you are going to say and actually saying it (especially under the stress of in interview) are two different things.
They expect you to know the 'type' of questions that will be asked and to have appropriate answers. For example: a very common question is to ask the candidate to 'give an example of a time when a captain did something that you did not agree with. How did you handle it'. The answer could be simple or complex - but you need to answer it!! You might get away with not being able to answer one, possibly two, such questions but that is it. I know guys who have LIED just to give a reasonable sounding answer.
Get some interview practice and do some research. You'll make it!!

you passed your sim. you would not have made it past the first day if you had not. they where being genuine, its professional, feelings don't matter.
but lets get this clear
if any of you guys complain about your hard rosters and how you hate the company and you are flying with me .... it is YOUR own fault. not emirates, not anyone else's. thats if i am still here. you all know how the company has changed and how tough it is.
