Hello folks. Can anyone tell me how long after applying will you get any notification for interview/no thank you. I applied on the 28th February for DEC but nothing yet. Thanks all.

Are you shortlisted?

Hello, I had an acknowledgement of my application for DEC in 24 hours, notification of being shortlisted within 48 hours and offered an interview within 7 days.

I haven't been put through the mill yet so can't tell you what you can expect when you're there. Which is why I've come on PPRUNE for the first time in ages to try and find out ;) Good luck.

Really appreciate the intel Wiz. As usual ur posts are hugely informative. Makes more sense now.
Of course, it would be stupid to under rate the task at hand. How do you reckon one prepare for the interview though. The sims/tech quiz being of particular interest.
Thanks in advance.

any piece of advice?
 

Hi, as things in my country are getting worst... i was giving a thought to the idea of enrolling in EK, sooooo, I am looking for sites to get as much info as I can, but I have only found people criticize the company and the working conditions... and this is pulling me back...
anyone can help?
thanks!!!

Wiz....is it at all possible(of course ALL is possible, but other than that!), that you fly a boeing currently and duing the DEC interview you get offered a bus?
Wouldn't that increase the training time dramatically.
And i recall u mention 4 months somewhere. I know of legacy carriers who churn out a captain in 3 months flat. From scratch to match. And this, when the driver ain't rated on type.
Don't u think the time frame for a TR DEC would be shorter. Like i said earlier, just my thoughts. Thx for helping.

For a DEC, appart from convincing them that you fit the Emirates Model, you gotta convince them that you will have a full knowledge of OMA/C and FCOM by the time you do your final line check... at least 3 Months so no panic - but you have to read the books...

Any links for any online practice questions for the tech quiz for the interview. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Bunk,
Try skytest for pilots and mebbe handling big jets for the tech quiz. Hope that helps.

fail during training
 

Hello guys, anyone knows the average rate of failings during training for DEC in EK?
I´ve been told that is high!
Did they get the chance to stay as F/O?
Best regards

Good luck, i´m still wating to be shortlisted.
Keep us posted....!:D

Anybody been on the DEC interviews this week care to share their experiences?

I too would like to know about the failure rate of DEC.

Emirates Assessment Preparation
 

Hi,

expecting the Emirates assessment around May/June and checking the Preparation possibilities. Test consists of Capacity tests and Team exercises obviously before you've to do the Simulator. Any idea for some Preparation possibilities?

Thx,

Berny

I've found this link: ATTC Europe

Any experiences with such ATTC trainings?

I think if it works it's worth to do this course but I would prefer a few reliable information before investing money and time. The Skytest-Software is known as useful mean of preparation for ATC-Testings in Swiss, a friend of mine used it for his Skyguide (Swiss ATC), but don't know their relation to the flying group.

EAT after shortlisting
 

Any idea about the average time betwenn notification "shortlisted" and Test date in Dubai? Loosing a little bit my patience, because they told me in January around may/june , approaching the end of april without any information :confused:
