I know Don, unfortunately nothing else out there.

I might be going there (if selected) for one year ALONE :eek:and see whether we can manage as a family to live there.

My other option which I was more interested was Ai Japan, but was not even selected for interview. Now I am relying on 2 offers for private jets but I am trying to avoid that since 3 months ago I ended with no job in a blink of an eye:{

The recruitment numbers change here all the time.

At my management wash-up meeting the number given by training head - was 250ish new hires plus an large influx of local cadets. Not sure how many that would be.

Upgrade planning for 2015 - went from 40 in August to 280 on the 777. However have now heard that the '70' that were on their way to 380 will be put on hold after Jan - as would leave t7 too short.

Anything over a week old is just that - old news.

Many thanks filion

If you join on the 330 fleet, would you automatically transfer to the 380?

Thanks

My guess is yes . Some of the junior Capt and DEC's might get forced into the 777.

And the shiny jet still attracts them.

It's not a 'shiny jet' that is attractive !

Having been faced with redundancy twice and uncertainty , Emirates offers a fair package and job security. The airlines in the Uk do not offer that!

And that is what is attractive

1013.....Just to put things in perspective....most of us came here thinking the same thing you currently do and walked in the door at EK with a positive attitude.

I give you 6 months to 1 year before you realize that you should have listened to us. Good luck.

1013, oh how you make me laugh. In over a decade Emirates have paid my salary on time every month- but so did my last employer and the one before that. It is a sad reflection on the state of the industry that being paid on time is a major plus.

As for job security, you may well be unpleasantly surprised at what you can get a (sometimes final) warning for here. Your job security sometimes only lasts as long as your first mistake.

Transit Check and Big Geordie are bang on the money with the last two comments....

Try speaking to the F/O who resigned during his upgrade interview this week. Buy the man a drink! HR girl was left speechless. :D

A drink? The man deserves the whole bar. Rockstar!

Can you please let us know details?

Anyone heard about any changes or movement within the management?
I tried to post a thread with a link I have been shown, looks like an "Emirates Illuminati" group try some new stuff... let's see.
