I have a background similar to 747400CA described above and I am interested in the same subjects.
Any helpful Emirates colleague out there?

Best regards

Dear 747400CA,
Thank you for your recent application for employment at Emirates.

Unfortunately you do not appear to have the required 500 hours P1 on Space Shuttle, or similiar type.

We regret to inform you that your application is therefore unsuccesful on this occassion.

We wish you all the best in your future career.

Yours Sincerely,

Osama Bin Liner

Don't know, but I think you are too old for an F/O's job and I don't think they are taking direct entry Captains at the moment?

You could, of course, try SIA ;) you meet their requirements for direct entry captain and they base B744 crews in LHR, LAX and SYD as well as on expat terms in Singapore but, remember, SIA is an acquired taste!

747-400CA,
1. Go to www.emirates.com and www.emiratesgroupcareers.com ; read about the package and their news of aircraft deliveries etc!

2. Search Pprune for Emirates and you will find all the opinions you require on whether or not it is the place for you.


At 47 you are not too old but you have to be on a course by the time you are 49. There are lots of people in the hold pool and your experience is not unusual in the currrent climate but that doesn't necessarily mean that you would be the ideal candidate as far as EK are concerned. As for time to command, 3 years is a realistic assumption.

Curkcutter, wait until you have the minimum otherwise you will get a 'You don't meet our minimum requirements' letter
