Emirates Application 2022
Hey all,
recently received an invitation for the assessment process for NTR B777 for Emirates. Initially applied at ‘Expression of Interest’ and within 12 hours received an invitation for the online assessment.
Have done the first part and “successfully through to the next round” which is apparently Psychometric testing online as well.
anyone that has done this already?
kind regards,
M.A.

Happy for you, mate! Would you remember when you applied?
My status shows "shortlisted" for a few months now...

DO NOT GO WORK FOR THIS AIRLINE. I have been in the industry for 40 years, 15+ working for EK. It will kill you. I've had good and bad jobs but EK is the worst management by far! You've been warned. Stay away. Far away.

I joined after 9/11. Jobs were scarce and EK was a good job. From the day I joined, EVERY change implemented by management was for the worse for the pilots. I saw hundreds if not thousands of "Ryanair" type pilots join with wide eyes at all the big shiny jets. I left before the rostering killed me, with my head held high. It's been 4 years since I left thinking EK couldn't get any worse. I was wrong. My colleagues who are still there assure me it has in fact got worse. So all you wanna bees.....that's why I spent 15 years there and left. Stay away. Far away.

lots of people stay longer than they actually want because
the network you fly is great, the money is good but the management sucks. And last but not least the addiction to the lifestyle.
you can afford a car which you would not have at home, you will useless toys.
getting out there is less easy than getting in, because you won’t easily find a job which pays you anywhere near that lifestyle and/or retirement plan. But that comes with a huge price tag - your health, mental strength, your family and your connection to home.
all changes to the none existent contract where is disfavor to the pilots. Pre covid, due to lack in man power Pilots flew 100-120 block hours a month all over the world, day and night, 24/7.
nearly nobody received his full number of vacation days. Everybody is constant monitoring for sick days and lots of other stuff.
the man power problem is now even worse than before and it’s not going to change as the AAR and Co. want to tight up slavery since their is only one management focus on record profits without any human factor involved
there was a time where EK was a reasonable good company but that is many moons ago.
If you think you have done quite a good research into what you are getting, consider yourself as being wrong. There is no way to find out the fact unless you speak to people who have been there. There have more people left over time than stay, for exact those reasons.

Warning is coming from well minded people with general best Interest. But what our ek colleagues do not understand is, while in 15 years they saw things getting worse in EK, it wasnt any better anywhere else, if anything, it got worse faster everywhere else. People around the world were doing 100+ hrs without any leave, half the dignity and even less than half the pay of EK. So, if the doors open, people will line up.

Not to forget that they will throw you out at the whim of a bean counter. It’s happened before and will do again.
How many other airlines treated their staff this way? Did they even approach the ones they let go to offer them their job back? Their solution was to hire new cheaper pilots and promote FOs because its cheaper…. No respect or loyalty, and if you believe they wont do it to you, you are deluded.

By all means express your frustration with the company here, but try and stick to the facts.
Time to lose the concept of loyalty - there is no such thing. I work here for the money. If the money stops I will be on the first plane home(and the loyal ones can work for free). I don't expect them to show me any loyalty - I expect them to pay me my salary.

EK has not called back any FO who where short of an upgrade by now.
Preference is given to locals and all those who survived the Desaster as they are now moved up the seniority list by a 1000.
Currently their is no statement of how much your being short of upgrade and the hours come with it will count for a future upgrade.
even low hour capt, returning as FO is listed behind all others.
So if you had your letter for upgrade, and you are not called by now, you are just about to start all over for a min of another 5 years until you back to upgrade.
EK should have at least respect your career position on the call back, which they haven’t done yet and won’t do. Same for low hour capt, you have been promised you will get your command back in 6 to 12 month. I just can laugh if you believe that.
I remember when it was mandatory to be on the 340 to get on the 380 for the sack of a career and suddenly AAR decided that 330/340 pilots shall stay on that fleet and let anybody from a CRJ or A320 into the 380. All those guys got their upgrade before all the 330340 pilots because AAR decided also that a max 1000hours stick time will count for the 380. Technically spoken that was setting back to zero serving a few years in EK.
in 6-12 month some nice great full manager will have an idea that you have to do a full upgrade course with the interview and checking prior to get it back. And if you don’t reach a grading of 4.3 in you 2 OPCs until then they will delay you.
the point is simple you can’t trust EK on a promise, not even its written in a manual or contract.

On the T7 side, no captain has been or will be recalled…We all had a random medical issue once in our career and were considered ´bad apples‘...
Don‘t miss anything. Just maybe the (mostly) nice colleagues and the car home after work.
So glad I‘m out actually. The one thing you‘ll never get in EK is Respect. Something I do get now.
