"At least seems that our friends currently flying as FO for EK are going to finally have their chance and I wish them good luck ".

Couldn't say something more politically correct and fair!...

As for the news abscence for us, some PPruners, EK insiders, share the same impression. No clues on what is really going on over there, recruitment wise.
It is certainlly not a matter of experience level or type rating.

We can only cross fingers, as you well said...
:ooh:

Airplane a month for along time nothing has slowed down from the pilots side,( FA's slowed down to catch there breath).
4 - 500's then the 300er's(26 + 13/14?). JFK going to 4 crew Oct or Nov. Rumour has it that the Dec thing is done. 310 cargo in the spring how knows maybe 310 type rated Dec's and Fo's.
Still getting CV's for FO's. A couple of bad apples from other airlines may hurt those in the pool from said carriers, hopefully not for very long, have flown with some and are good drivers.
Hang in there, someone said updateding every month would hurt your chances, can't see that being the case,but every 6months is fineif you have the time

Many thanks on the update, mate!
Unfortunately in my case just passed the cutting age for f/o...
What's your rank and for how long with EK?

"A couple of bad apples from other airlines may hurt those in the pool from said carriers, hopefully not for very long, have flown with some and are good drivers".

Could you please clarify?
Cheers!

Heard from varios folks in the training dept. - both ground instructors and the TCI/TCE's that no more DEC's:ok: :ok:

Must stress it's just hearsay at the moment though.

The DEC program is over for now. Any contract that has been offered by the company will be honored, but all assessments for DEC's have stopped. The program may start up next year for the 777 but the Boeing Fleet MGR. told me that it will be no more than 40 DEC's total for 2005. There are F/O upgrades this fall on both fleets and more to come. We are still hiring F/O's but currently at a slower rate. This also will pick up in the winter.

The only exception to all of this is for the 310. We are still hiring DEC's for the 310, which supposidly will begin arriving in December/January, but I have seen nothing official on the delivery dates. Has anyone else?
