UAE National pilot rejected by Air Qantas

Yes a Uae National pilot married to an Aussie with B777 4000 hours pic, was rejected by Qantas. We welcome them here and they treat us like dirt in Aussie Guy land after all the Flippin Aussies run our Airline . If i was in charge, i would ban all these Guys.


Habibi, I have made it more readable, sorta. Be kind gents please

Grow up you tw@t!

Firstly it's Qantas not air qantas
Secondly 4000 hours PIC does not entitle you to a job

Emiratipilot.

Calm down, habibi. We have all flown with some great Emirati pilots. And some not so great....as we have with Aussies, Brits, Canucks and Indians. To suggest this gentleman didn't get a job because of his nationality is stupid.

For your info, there are laws against racism in Aus. Just like the ones you don't have here! And how many different nationalities here fail SIMs or upgrades with EK and EY??? Loads....

Your point is poorly put and reflects your immaturity. Don't spoil the good name of so many good and capable Emirati colleagues with your BS

Well, thank dog there is no such thing as racism here in the UAE, where everybody, regardless of
- where they come from,
- what religion,
- how rich they are
is guaranteed to be treated equal, has no fear of being cheated or abused, and is respected by the locals.

And since anybody who is married to an Emirati wife (which is very common, by the way, since the locals here usually enjoy mixing with expats), not only has a guaranteed right to obtain a UAE passport, but also to join EK as a straight-in captain anytime he likes.
Honestly, I have no idea at all why Quantas is being so bitchy! Probably because they are all hypocrite racists and liars over in Aussieland.

That's what you meant, emiratipilot, right?

emiratipilot007,

Qantas takes about 10% of all qualified applicants. It has a very competitive selection process.

What makes you think this particular Emirati was better than 90% of the other applicants?

I went to a Qantas interview with a very qualified (9000 hrs, much of it in command) friend who I knew to be an excellent pilot. He didn't get past the initial pshyc evaluation.

In other pasrt of the world you have to work hard and face a lot of possible rejection to be an airline pilot.

Bitching because someone didn;t get in to their prefered airline, which has one of the toughest selections in the world???

Welcome to REAL aviation!!!

please correct me if I am wrong.. but isn't it spelled AL AIN versus AL AYN where emiratipilot seems to be coming from....

I think someone is just trying to harass people from down under...

I don't know why the mods don't delete these aggressive posts...

1) Canada
2) Germany
3) Australia


Who will be next?

So one of the local UAE women pilots married an Aussie pilot with 4000PIC? How wonderful!

I'm sure she's happy she made the move.

@ emiratipilot:

dude wake up and smell the coffee. air cuntas is down-sizing not up-sizing. an oz buddy of mine with +20k hours almost got the shove.

a pizzy 4k doesn't carry a lot of weight in the west when people see the door.

there is something called unions

Why is the "Race Card" always pulled out by those who have had everything handed to them on a platter, and use "Wasta" to get what what they want (when they want it), when things don't go their way?

"Beats me?" As the Afghani grain trader said to the sheihk

Wouldn't many of the Australians at EK be there because they got rejected by QANTAS as well ?
