I agree, and hope you do as well!

Hi all,

What is the average waiting time between selection in Dubai and final answer?

Vapp125

I knew in 2 weeks that I got the job. Still waiting course date. Interviewed Feb 28th.

Just pushing this thread back up the list. Has any 'swimmer' had the good news yet?

My buddy on the inside just informed me that it is due to the airbus 380, Being down for the 27 day inspections. As soon as they come up with the deal with airbus to fix the issue, They will have a better idea of when do a sign class dates. If you're in the pool you're good to go, And they are still actively recruiting pilots for further aircraft deliveries

330 FO's waiting for transfer to 380 that you are going to replace. So no movement for us = no movement for you..........

Yes that is my understanding that's how it works.

Hi Craggenmore,

Does it mean only 330 FOs are recruited for the foreseeable future?

I was hoping for 777 so I hope not...

Shared a car into work with 2 Recruiters last month - Was told all foreseeable recruitment will be for 330 FO's.

I'm guessing that DEC 's will predominantly go to 777 (note boeing experience required for DEC applications) thereby reducing 777 upgrades for current FO's that will come to the fore in a few years time.............thereby new hires needed for 330 whilst current 330 FO's transfer to 380.

Because of course the Classic 'Bus will be around for far longer than originally planned:cool:

Thanks for the quick response and information Craggenmore...
Airbus it will be then!

jonjon - dont be scared of the 330. Not sure how it will pan out for new hires but lots of Fo's doing around 45 hours per month. My last year averaged out at under 50/month

Fleet also keeps emailing me to take leave so if you don't initially get what you want when you bid, dont panic - you might well be offered it anyhow :ok:

Great skippers and a chilled vibe.

The only problem is that my wife is unhappy because I'm not away enough!

hold pool
 

Hello guys,

any news for those who are swimming in the pool for quite a while, such as a couple o'months? I am wondering how long I will have to wait as well...
cheers!

Mr. Craggenmore,

Could I understand your mention above as EK will concentrate on hiring A330 FO for a while? and would A320 rating help me to be shortlisted for A330 FO even now as focusing on DEC? If I could know the right time to apply as a A320 FO, it will be really helpful. That's it. Thank you.

Swimming in the pool makes so much fun

Seems like the pool is getting deeper.

Reading the posts about the 380, it looks like a long wait for us. A Spanish chap I know has just had his 330 cse changed to the 777. Also heard some guys are working in the office whilst waiting for the type rating cse.

Oh well!

How long you been in the pool?

End of March

Tight Seat, guys are in the office because courses are overbooked to counter no shows. On occasion everyone turns up and someone volunteers to do office duties till the next course. Been like this for a long time.

Cheers Easy. Sorry for drawing the wrong conclusion .
