Well done Emirates Recruiting
EK hired another Dash 8 Captain with only a few hours on jets, other guys with several thousand widebody hours and current on 777 or 330 don't even get an interview.
I feel embarrased by our recruiting, the good old Mafia is still here.

Got the address for their recruitment office; I've got Bronze in gliding (good for Air Canada positions so I've heard!) and am part way to PPL. Oh, and I own a copy of MS Flight Sim (2000, not the latest one)
Giz a job!!

Was there any doubt if "the good old Mafia" ever left??? Ant skid you must be just what they are looking for but remember you have to do a whacko profile test so bone up on your inner feelings - and if you really want the job get an Ozzy accent - it will help a million.

Last time I checked, 330s and 777s were not that demanding to fly! You don't hear of too many transition course failures with any of the airlines.
So do EK want a good pilot and good bloke that meets the minimum experience requirements, otherwise they would not be interviewed, or a total plonker with loads of hours?
All airlines around the world are looking for good pilots that will fit into their corporate culture. Not just any old mate who happens to have 15,000 hours. Look at your current airline and I bet there are bunches of people with lowish hours that you would recommend to potential employers ahead of some of the more experienced mates.
Its not how many hours you have, its whether you have the ability and the motivation to fit in!! And just to finish, life isn't fair otherwise I'd be an astronaut, a millionaire and married to Michelle Pfeiffer. C'est la vie! <img src="frown.gif" border="0">

Whaooo!
What the deal here? I might be the criminal who has dishonored the ranks!
I'm a Dash 8-400 captain.
I'm starting in Emirates next year.
I've got 6200 hours total.
I've flown 2200 hours FO on B-767.
You try a command on a turboprop in northern europe when winter sets in.
FC. 18/19/18 VV200' x-wind 8 kt in SNSH....and
you just lost HYD 2 system....what are YOU going to do.....no it not a sim ride, friend.
See you on the beach!

Well, good luck to you and congratulations Payscale!
Winter-ops in the sandpit sure beats the same in Scandinavia.
Life and work there, will be quite different from what we in Europe are used to, I´ve heard.
You have the right attitude and credentials, it seems.
Never look back.
Have a happy 2002 and a REALLY good time in DXB!

Payscale,
Good job! I love the Dash-8-400 - it is a beautiful aircraft with an advanced flight deck!
Do you know which fleet at Emirates you will start on? Did you have a preference - were you given a choice?
Cheers

Payscale,
Congratulations on your new job. When you get here, don't pay any attention to the few tossers that have forgotten what it is to start off in a new job, and have also taken for granted how good this job is.
Granted, there are deficiencies and faults, but no job is perfect. You will enjoy it.
All the best.

Payscale,
Just been asked to attend the selection process process in the near future.
Can you e-mail me with the proceedure and any good pointers, hopefully then I can buy you a few beers one day.
Do you know if A330 type rated folks are kept on or do we get the chance to go on the 777??
Thanx's

prop stands for propellor, all modern aircraft have them in one form or another...some are inside a shroud/casing, some are external.... <img src="wink.gif" border="0">
