How long?? For a DEC (are we still hiring them?) it's about 3-4 months and for a new joiner FO it's about 3.5 to 4 years at present.
Also, the 275 mentioned is certainly not all add on aircraft. Some... a good number will be replacement but there will indeed be steady continued growth

Well anything less than 7 years for an upgrade in a major airline ain't bad at all.
Good for you guys at EK

Gents, sorry to hijack the thread but can anyone give me an idea of how long it takes from application(i'm "shortlisted", whatever that really means i don't know) to interview, sim and then offer?
To say i'm a little keen to make the move is an understatement.
Again my apologies

tonker,
Sorry to say there's no way to tell. The powers that be asses available applicants quals vs current requirement.
Might be next month, might not be for twelve.

White Knight,
Regarding your query - the aviation financial community uses a conceptual metric to measure at what point the flight "breaks even"
The theory behind it is if you filled all four cabins (F,J,Y & Bulk) in equilibrium the point at which you start to make money is "The break even load factor"
Emirates publishes this every year in their report along with the actual load factor giving you the crack or spread ie the % profit.
It has been gradually reducing from 64% 3 years ago to 63% two years ago. I understand they are now at the 62% due to the advantage of critical mass. As a comparison most full service intl carriers B/E is low 70s with LCCs in the high 70s
Emirates is considered the most profitable airline in the world because of the B/E not necessarily what we make.
Hope that clarifies.

UAE, India said to agree huge increase in flights - Travel & Hospitality - ArabianBusiness.com
With this just announced, the 777 order might satisfy the demand.

Not sure this will help EK though.
I thought India bizarrely treats the UAE (AKA Abu Dhabi), Dubai and Sharjah separately with regards to bilaterals.
Therefore, this news benefits the carrier down the road, not EK

"Carrier" excellent choice of word, not to be confused with "viable business" unless one considers self-aggrandisement as measurable profit.
This will not end well.

ATC in the Middle East are just catching up to the likes of LAX, JFK, LHR
It's just the realisation that ME airports will have to be designed and run along the lines of the busiest world airports. It will happen but giving in to individual pride is required.
