EK interview shortlist for FO'S
 

Hi All

I would like somebody in the know to please tell me when interviews
for first officers will resume? I have been shortlisted and got the standard
reply, but as I understand it, they are still only busy interviewing
for the DEC positions.
I have read the other thread about the holding pool for those who
have already been through the interview process, and the A380 seems
to have been a spanner in the works, but nothing has been mentioned
about when FO interviews will recommence.

Thanks guys. :ok:

I've been shortlisted since February and no news so far. Still waiting patiently... And updating...
:ok:

Type rated A320 FO.

Word on the street is that invitations will go out around the new year for FO selections... Give or take. Keeping in mind, airlines change their plans by the minute.

Shortlisted sice the 2nd of December 2011 and nothing so far.
Waiting for news but it's really hard with no idea about when.


M.

Rumoured to be around the end of this year. It may be that with the retention of some of the A343's that the required numbers will rise, which may start the ball rolling earlier than planned.

Just my tuppence worth...

Cool thanks for the gen boys :ok:

Shortlisted Pond
 

Hi guys,
As you can see, there are two swimming area: the "Shortlisted pond" and the "Hold pool".
I've read the pool has been started to drain.
My application form is still there with the "Shortlisted" status awaiting for the call for the interview invitation. Basically, I'm swimming in the pond with no news from December 2011. Has anybody got some fresh news from the EK to share about new, ongoing or about to start again?


Cheers,
M80
(F/o 5600h jet time)

Hello guys ,

I am shortlisted from feb 2012 , since then no news , I've heard that they are going to start again soon.I think this is correct if you consider that they have put an advertisement again at flight international web at 2 of Oct.:ok:

Short listed since October 2011!

Beat that :ugh:

Hello guys,

A little more patience, our time for the interview will come (sooner or later) as they are currently draining their holding pool + advertising back + A380 entering the fleet again. From several inside source (ex-colleagues working for EK now) the recruiting machine will start up again if not already. :ok:

Shortlisted since March 12.
3500h+ Jet
Airbus A32F

Finger crossed a let's be "all" happy we can still fly while waiting for the best. :E

shortlisted since 10/9/2012 still no reply. how long does it take once they send you an email that you are shortlist pool to being call for interview? thanks safe flight.

There won't be invitations for at least another month... Then it will be dictaed by your strength in the pool.

I take it nobody has any information on the interviews for those that have been short listed (not that you are guaranteed getting one!)? Hopefully the ball will start rolling soon for FOs

Hi guys
just passed from shortlisted to under review.
Is this good?
shortlisted from September 2012

Same for me. Status is now under review!

Do you get an email from the system with that status change?

Just to put a few minds at rest:

We in the hold pool also experienced this change recently. For us it was from "FC Selected" to "Under Review."

The status then changed back again shortly afterwards. So nothing to worry about I would suggest.

Yes i received an email to be prepared for the selection program, and they may call with short notice.

a318319320 have you already done the pre selection, i.e selection day and sim check? I've heard nothing, and did mine last year, starting to think they've lost my application in the system somewhere. Does anyone know an email address or contact number for HR to confirm either way??

It's all on the website. Emails or just log in a and look. It will tell you right away what your status is.

No, i havent done any of the selection program. That´s why im writing on this Thread.

Anyone go to the recruitment roadshow in MAN over the last 2 days?
Did they say when assessments for FO will restart?

LJ

Where was that posted... never saw it on the web...

From the other thread on about EK hold pool looks like we may be waiting for a while before interviews start to happen..

Mine still shows shortlisted since Jan/11

Sim
 

To all of you who have attended the interview, can you please tell me which aircraft is used in the sim assessment and what it involved. Thank you.

Latest from EK recruitment team from roadshow at Manchester

DEC coming to an end, FO recruitment to commence imminently. Early new year by the looks of it.

DEFO onto A380. Pre-selection to commence shortly also.

Minimum 3000hrs Arbus Fly By Wire time.

Numbers about 400 pilots a year, maybe more depending on deliveries.

Still have huge orders so plenty of jobs will be available. Just need that magic 2500 hours heavy jet (specifically over 30T) or 4000 total of which 2000 must be heavy jet over 30T.

Before we have the debate of what about the crj/145 etc etc. straight from the horses mouth "we have all the applicants we need with jet time over 30T"

Unfortunately right now your just not competitive enough, however I wouldn't give up hope if your still waiting!!

Flyer, I'll just insert a few additions to put what recruitment correctly told you into perspective.

DEC coming to an end for now!!

Huge orders, but a lot of those are replacement airframes in the future.

Hope that helps and good luck to all.

Regards

I don't recall the 2000 commercial jet (of the 4000 TT) time have the requirement to be all over 30t. Is this something new? In the past it has been just some recent time in a jet over 30t. The career website doesn't even list the 30t requirement.

The 30T was stated in the presentation.....and in the conversation I had with the recruitment team afterwards after I was asked what type I was currently flying.

I don't think it's a limit, just what EK can afford to work with now as they have enough applicants that fit the bill to keep them going.

It was generally positive so I'm not sure why you guys haven't been called up yet. Hopefully you will hear soon.

Hey guys,
i have been shortlisted since july'11. Awaiting further notice since then for the interviews. After reading all 30-40 posts here, seems like i m the oldest shortlist waiting here (LOL). Please keep this thread updated with latest info. for guys like us, who belong to the third world and emirates would probably never bother turning back here for roadshows.

hi guys
shortlisted since sept 12, received an email to attend the selection program next January.
almost 7000 total airbus, 3000 captn.

With those hours are you applying for direct entry captain or first officer position?

Rumour is they will be recruiting for First Officers onto the A380, so if it is a FO position your applying for it may indeed be for that.

Good luck! ;)

I applyed for FO. I dont´know the company, their OM, middle east airspace, any destinations and airports in the east!

In good conscience i dont want to be a captain in those circumstances.

They will give me 2 choices between 777 and 380, but something tells me it will be for the 380.
(to many FBW hours).

The subject line of the email says what you are being assessed for...
