Inside info

G'day NSU, try sending a PM to Cessna1052 as he is a Airbus F/O in Emirates. Tell him DeltaSix sent you and ask him your questions. Goodluck bud. See you there in a few years........if they accept me.

Thanks for that, but unless he has heard of the type of ordeal given to DEC's it probably won't apply. Will hang out a little longer for more applicable gear.
Thanks anyway.

Just got back from the interview and was turned down after the first day. No sour grapes but my objective opinion. They use poor simulator ride as a smoke screen. My group had a B-777 Varig LCA told the same thing. I feel that it is the HR person that gives you a thumbs up or down before lunch. They look at your physical appearance, how committed you are to living there, and your interaction with Emirates personnel. Whenever a HR person was in the room, they were always making marks on their paper whenever you spoke or did anything. The technical test should be called trivia pursuit and anybody with over 5,000 hours should ace the sim ride. However, if you look at all of the pilots around the sim building, they all look and act the same. If you do not fit the mold, forget wasting your time and spending your money hiking to the desert.

What would that mold look like ? They appear to have no trouble attracting qualified applicants ?

CLenardjr,

They use poor simulator ride as a smoke screen.

Uh....no, if the sim ride is poor you do not pass go and do not proceed to the next exercises. EK have simple pass/fail criteria until you get to the wash up at the end. Then everyone's input about the various exercises is looked at and as objective a decision as it is poosible to make is made about whether or not to offer you a job. If you did a good sim but appeared a bit weird, they would spend the time to see whether or not the first impression they got about you was valid or not. If you were the cleanest cut candidate on the planet even the sharpest suit in the world would not save you from a crap sim.

anybody with over 5,000 hours should ace the sim ride

But....they don't. Some guys get a bit worked up and do not do themselves justice; others are just not that good. The number of hours flown is not a reflection of either ability or competence.

if you look at all of the pilots around the sim building, they all look and act the same.

So you are saying that a Local, a Brit, a Mexican and an Aussie all look and act the same. I want some of what you are smoking, it must be great to live in a such bland pink world. Just glad to hear that there are no sour grapes on your behalf!

With the Sim Check.... is it the same Sim for all...e.g. do all candidates fly the 777 or 340's or 330 Sim...Also how long is the Sim check ride go for and is it just the basics e.g.;. General handling etc?

[Payscale]

Nahh I think he ment we all look good and crisp in 44 dec heat. Toned biceps when we reach for the Porsche keys on the table...

We all look the same because you were too stressed to notice...just a blur, right? Doesnt mean you are not a ace. Just not that day maybe..

Too recommend a DEC candidate to mail an EK FO for advice is like tossing a baby before tigers...

Sim is both handling and decission making. Low viz, eng. fail, vor tracking....good luck

[ash737]

nsu

interview in emirates for three days involving various psycho test and analysis,after that normal sim chk handling vor tracking advice pl go prepared

[remlap]

VOR Tracking, for gd's sakes people, you're flying a magic jet. Why are you VOR tracking?

Aren't you supposed to use the highest level of automation available?
