When I saw the first part of the thread title and it said "DEC removed", I assumed a new joiner in the left seat had forgotten his hat or been photographed holding a cup of coffee whilst in uniform...

Odins,
That was the un-written policy of the former AS(s) (or was it (st)AS(i) ) who's Napoleonic syndrome was only outdone by his contempt for his own kind.
As far as I'm concerned drink coffee out of your hat.

I 2nd that. Nighttime or early morning, I do not fly without coffee, and not that horrible stuff they serve on the plane.
Get scolded? Just use your 'emirates' tie-matching mug you were issued by the company.

Somebody higher up realised it cost too much money to ship DEC candidates on business class tickets to Dubai, pay for hotel, simulator and medical, fail them, then send them back.
Again and again and again. A complete waste of time and money for all involved.
Why they have allowed this charade to go on for so long is beyond me.

Fatbus there is no bidding position! For preference bids you have the same chance of getting the flight as anyone else in the bid group. The only place these guys will loses out is the single requests only in top two months and on staff travel. Anyway regardless 330 going = 777 guys will be getting curry more often for breakfast....

In the HQ HR "service" place yesterday the group world site still showed DECs being sought on the careers page.
Also FOs with 10-20t, I think it was, background.

Sorry, but its not there anymore. If you go to the pilots section in the emirates group careers website it just have the vacancy for FO. Why is it not consistent across the website is a good question though.

The position is closed, I asked recruitment with a mail and they said that, unfortunately, the offer is no longer there for the moment but it will open again in the forseeable future.
Voices are saying that for every DEC they take, 3 FO's leave EK.
Not completely true because nobody leaves EK without another good job.
Truth is that they have no pilots and Ek is facing massive resignations form both Cpt and FO.
Soon they will have not enough pilots to face the expansion...
As said before they need people (that will stay in the right seat for 7 or more years) to replace the upgrading FO's...
We'll see what happens..

Well I think the massive shortage is something that's self created. With such poor working conditions nobody will think of coming over , but that being said there are plenty of pilots from India, Pakistan and other such countries that would like to join the ranks at EK.
P.S there was a issue faced a few years ago about fake pilots in the same region

I wouldn't be to sure about the Indian and Pakistani pilots
I flew recently with a American (of Indian decent) FO who implied that the mindset of those guys wouldn't allow for the perceived failure in relation to their peers back home.....ie, washout in training and need to return, that somehow they would be considered "tainted goods"
I hope I've explained in properly.....I was half asleep when we were talking.
he was a very switched on operator, BTW
