Emirates can't be that short for pilots. 2300TT EJet Driver and still no call 3 weeks later.
With that being said, it says my application is under review at of 7 days ago

They are building a data base of TP pilots if and when required. More than likely when required and will not go on the 380. That coming from JA. Lowered the application requirements to match others in the area .

To all the miserable pilots on PPRUNE:
We see a lot of miserable pilots looking to voice their opinion, we don't see the happy ones too often because they have a life and most likely don't have a reason to, i'm sure the smart ones who are unhappy, make life decisions instead of complaining. Creates a one way balance which is unfortunate because in every airline, you cant tell me every single pilot is as miserable as you.
Take each post with a grain of salt, make your own decision and be done with it. Don't complain. Make PPRUNE a productive and informative way to share knowledge, that's it. Unfortunately these forums are filled with fluff, that doesn't belong in the right threads, so, when making your decision make sure you know whose talking.
If you are an EK pilot looking to get out, here you go (you wont have trouble filtering fluff out):

If you are an aspiring EK pilot, here you go (you will have trouble filtering fluff out from people on the previous forum):

There is no middle. Stop trolling. This specific thread was created to inform people of different requirements, it wasn't meant for you to come and tell people reasons not to apply. If you want to bash, create a new thread.
If you really hate it so much you would've quit a long time ago, don't tell me you cant get another job, how'd you get this one?
Let the backlash begin, it's really unfortunate...

Wasn't this one of those guys who couldn't get on at EK? I guess it grinds his gears to hear people fed up to the teeth with a place that wouldn't even have him. Makes sense, I guess.
You do realize you're on the internet - right?

Cut the kid some slack. He is a wannabe that is coming to terms that the real job doesn't always match the description on the box sold at flight schools.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Soon they will probably accept a paper napkin(stamped of course as they love their stamps over here) with a bunch of numbers on it as your official logbook.

Congratulations and good luck during the interview process.
But in the big picture it provides a peak behind the curtain - a candidate that weeks ago didn't meet EK's minimums gets called 17 days after applying.
In the U.S. the typical recommendation would be to get more TPIC time vs. flying a bigger a/c as an FO.
Interesting times. The next couple of years should be interesting for the pilot demand/supply curve.

14 years ago I had 8500 hours heavy jet and it took me 9 months to get an interview. Times have changed
