Emirates recruits pilots at full throttle

Whether to refresh faces or not, they are on the road...
Last week they said they were driving down the road to Abu Dhabi in a bid to recruit additional cabin crew to help service the company’s expanding fleet and route network.
The move Etihad announced, it will no longer provide accommodation allowances to new staff choosing to live outside Abu Dhabi, may well contribute for some shifting of minds.

anyone know what hrs the present applicants getting interviews have...?

regional jets taken into account...?

They r so desperate, if you have hours on a broom they will take that into account as well.

What about DEC?

Does it matter if they are synthetic or natural corn/straw bristles? :)

Scary thought that the mother-in-law could apply :\

Hi!

No DEC....yet. QR has been hiring DECs for about 6 mos.

RJs...it is hard to tell. It appears that the mins are changing so fast, different guys have been told different things...such as RJ FOs interviewing, but other RJ capts being told their planes are too small....it is VERY difficult to figure out what times are good or not good!

If this study is even half true, recruitment is not going to get any easier for any airline.

Maybe there will be industry wide improvement in working conditions as competition for our services intensifies.

Of course, I may just be in a delusional state due to fatigue. :ouch:

Comment: Predicted pilot and engineer demand is unsustainable

You could move in with your mother-in-law and cash in on one accomodation allowance! :ok:

What accommodation allowance?

The Arabs are an interesting bunch.


"We need more guys, so let's stir interest!"

"You're right, tell them they can't have an housing allowance and they have to sleep under our roof. They'll love the building work next door, it'll help them sleep."

:ok:

Also heard that the number 700 came from HR and that flt ops says it is only 200--though that is a rumor and, as always, who knows which one to believe.

Flight Global attributes the quote to the senior vice president of flight operations. Who knows. But given that the outstanding Boeing orders, if all else remains equal, would amount to the need for an extra 250 pilots then I think the 700 has some credibility.

Part Time Working
 

Hi Guys

Dont shoot me down for asking but projecting ahead a little if I do decide to apply to a ME carrier such as Emirates is it possible to aquire a part time roster ie two weeks on two weeks off and maybe commute from either Aus or Uk.

Thanks.

Hi!

It is not possible to commute to EK at this time.
