Has Emirates ever hired a total newbie?

[Wannabe24]

Easy enough question. I know it would be strictly against the norm but has it ever happened in the past? Has Emirates ever taken on a fresh grad with minimum hours and 0 turbine/jet/multi-crew time?

Don't beat me up!

Easy question, easy answer.... not as an expat.

Check the website. Its all on there.

But to awnser your question more quick. No.!

Didn't they train up the 727 FE's as A310 F/O's. Not new hires I guess but they were newbes.

Local cadets are quite experienced by the time they are let loose as F/O's at least compared to most Asian carriers.

Actually the F/Es who were offered the chance all held at least a CPL. All are now Captains I think.
The few who did not went on to become FCTIs.
