737 Jockey, go and have a look at the ME forum...all the detailed info you need to know is there.
The basics of it are that we bid for our work pattern, and depending upon seniority, how well you understand the bid system and bid group priority, depends upon what kind of roster you get.
FWIW, my 92 hrs last month consisted of 2 x ULR trips (LAX) and two Europe trips (FRA & GLA).
I had 16 days off, but would definitely not call it commutable. A few more senior guys that I know commute, mostly to the US, as the septics (and their hangers-on) seem to struggle the most with the sandpit

Always be sceptical of a septic in a sandpit

Swa it means that you have to have 2500 hours total medium or heavy jet. The first one you've flown doesnt really count.
But im sure with the expantion going on its possible to go for a assesment.
Just apply;-) You'll see!!!!

The roadshow answers all the questions, and you can get freebie coffee, and a biscuit! If you think you want to join it is well worth going.

I expect that they will have a roadshow in France in due course superced.

They have probably seen your posts superced, made a sweeping generalisation regarding your nationality and as a result subsequently cancelled the Paris roadshow tout suite! I hope that this cannot be confirmed as stereotyping anyone or anything is displaying ignorance at the highest degree. Our French cousins should never have to be subjected to such behaviour. It is totally unwarrented.

Perhaps superced does not like his employer very much, but by judging by the overwhelming enthusiasm that a lot of low-cost pilots display for the recruitment plans of Emirates, I guess he must not be alone in his criticism...

A much smarter plan would be to make sure that your employer in Europe does not treat you like sh!t, so that you won't have to escape to that Fata Morgana in the Middle East, but hey, that would require some balls, planning and foresight wouldn't it? Instead people prefer to shoot the messenger!

Fight of flight? That's the question.

Most of the spineless low-cost pilots choose the flight to the Middle East and in a few years time they will be just as disappointed in that big sandbox flying a shiny 380/777 as they are now in EZY or RYR based in Southern Europe flying a shiny 319/738.

Secondly, can you explain why so many pilots from ......... ohhh ....... shall we say ...... easyJet, want to leave and go to the sandpit. Difficult to get a decent pint of real ale in the sandpit, so why go?
No it's not actually, especially if you like Belgian strongs.

easyJet have a fleet of very new, shiny, state of the art airbuses, and most FO's can get a command with pretty minimal hours (<5000) - that's a lot less than many airlines.
At Emirates you can get a command on 777 or A340 with 6000 hours.

I just hope that all these EZY / FR guys know what they're doing. The 3 big reasons to come out to EK are:

(1) The Flying / Destinations. No other operator can match the variety of interesting (and not always so nice) places.

(2) Quick command for a widebody. Again no other Legacy Carrier can offer this.

(3) Dry weather. Apart from July / August the weather's great if you're from Northern Europe.

You don't come here for money or time off or an easy ride. If you are you're in for a BIG surprise. Don't get sold by the glitzy sales package at the roadshows. In truth it's halfway between what the recruiters tell you and what you hear on PPrune. I came here for the flying, the weather and a quick (ish) command on a biggie. In that respect I am very happy...
