Emirates Flight Academy Is Inviting Me For Assessment
Emirates Flight Academy is inviting me for an assessment. Is it worth it? Are they really looking for cadets or will they run away with my money. The whole thing comes out to $2800 USD including flights hotel etc. Don't to miss an oppurtunity.
And don't want to be conned at the same time.
Also how do I prepare they said they are gonna test Maths and Physics. I never had Physics classes. I took Math 2 years ago in High School.
Are there tools to study for this test.
I'll also make a thread.

short flights long nights
It is not a cadet programme. There is no job. Are you aware of what is going on at EK and the rest of the world?

They are selling you a course, there is no job. It’s a very very expensive course as well. Your profile location is in the US, do it there it is much cheaper and the licence is more universally valuable.

Pilot Job is for Emirati Citizens
That's because there is a "Cadet" program designed to take Emirati citizens who were specially selected through national exams and interviews, from ab-initio to B777 F/O over the course of a few years. These are the ONLY individuals who will have an EK pilot job at the end of their courses.
As for "external customers" they are offering ab-initio training "zero through ATP" and maybe will promise you something like "a guaranteed chance to be interviewed for a possible position at Emirates Airline". Just like all of these schemes worldwide that have some link to some airline you always have to watch for the "weasel words" like "chance" and "interview" and "possible", it is never a "guaranteed job" at the end of the (very expensive and highly inflated) course.
Take our advice, if you have the right to live and train in the USA put your money into that. Get FAA licenses which are many times more valuable than a GCAA license, and see what comes of that. That $2800 you are paying just to fly out here and get assessed, you can get a "Sport Pilot" license from an FBO in the USA and build a foundation there, get real flight experience for that $2800 and give yourself a head start.

Yeah but the person who said you "will become emirates pilot" sounds like he bought his licence through the Pakistani CAA. So maybe listen to the other guys.

You’re right his prospects are far brighter at EK with GCAA multi crew license (eye roll) ..... fact of the matter is the US domestic market (as well as the EU common market) will bounce back far faster than international travel... he/she is looking at a multi year timeframe not the industry at the moment.
