Why Do you want to go to school in DBX Max burner?? :D :D :D

Nads,
I guess that was to be DXB. Now write it out 100 times and show it to me in the morning.


Max Burner, Nads's spelling is no reflection of schooling in the sandpit. Its just that positions are hard to find, and if you don't mind a Brit system of education its all OK.
:D :D :D

I just can’t get anything back from them, I’ve filled in the on-line application twice, and all I’ve had is the automated e-mail of receipt.

3000hrs mostly 757.

Is this typical?

I've just been placed in their "Hold Pool" too. The email (computer generated) makes for interesting reading though.

1) Being in the Hold Pool does not guarantee
an interview.
2) Market forces dictate the above, meaning
you could spend months waiting, only to
drop out of the "Pool" if someone better
qualified or experienced comes along.
3) It appears the Pool has a limited capacity
which again means an applicant already on
hold can be bumped out and advised that
their application has been unsuccessful.

Those working for EK may be able to offer more knowledge than I on this matter, but that's how I read it. :confused:

Yeah

4300hrs, Command, shorthaul European on jets, ex-mil (heavy jets) if they want it with instructor experience, mid 30s, very keen to join, still waiting after 5 months in the pool (at least the waters warm). Well I don't know what else I could have done to interest them, except have the correct type ratings. It's a weird selection procedure to get to Dubai, it has got to be the old mates network me thinks, anyone want to sponsor me lads from within?

Heres still waiting patiently!!!

Let me assure you....It is NOT the old boy network, far from it.

I've heard that Aussies who joined our domestics during the '89 dispute don't get considered, as a lot of our "Ex's" are up there in management positions.Can anyone confirm or deny that?

Just a rumour....but I heard that all ex 89er's are not being considered at EK.

This does not seem like the right time to join EK. I would think that the will be severly affected of the present situation. Comments? :confused:

On another note!

Just wondering, would somebody have a clue of next interview dates or is it done on a regular basis so far? Also, for next deliveries what will be the number of crew requiered for hiring?

Cheers,

Are Emirates still recruiting?

It's a well-known fact that the recruiting department is all Australian, and human nature is such that you would have a better chance getting hired if you changed your accent.
Listen to all the Emirates aircraft on the radio it's not very often you hear a non- Australian accent.
On a very positive note, at least we know where all the 89'ers are!
:)

No scabs in '89...some resigned, others picked up where they left off, some returned...some tried and were knocked back...MMMMMMMMMMMM...know at least two returnees who subsequently went to EK...one accepted...one is now unemployed in OZ...one big circle ain't it?

TEX,

If you excluded all the Kiwi's, Yarpies, Brits and Itialians (not to mention the others), you would be absolutely correct in saying that EK recruiting is all Australian. Research my boy, try it next time. You will have to find some other excuse for not making the team now.
It is true that there are alot of Ozmates with EK. And would you believe it that some of them were not involved in 89?!!
If you are interested in any info about this company this is a good place to get it. If you want to lick your wounds about being below average and not getting in, go somewhere else. Why not try Fantasy Island where Bigbutt hangs out.
I guess I would be one of those rude, loud mouthed Aussies you like listening to on the radio. (Cheaper than 0055 numbers I guess, but each to their own)

All that I did not mention the rugby once. Not bad hey?

By the looks of your post...you probably are indeed one of those......

How are Emirates fairing after the recent events? I would guess that it is a bad time to move to the bottom of anybodys seniority list.

Mad,

Actually, I have never even applied to Emirates and at least for the foreseeable future, do not intend doing so - things aren't looking too stable out in your part of the world at the moment. My information comes from friends that I have within Emirates, a couple of which have been with the company for many years.

I'm paddling around in the EK 'Hold Pool' at the moment, and rumour has it that there is a complete freeze on tech crew employment. This 'rumour' also includes SE Asia. Anyone know if there is any validity in this? :confused:

Theres a whole group of pilots being interviewed in october and the emirates still has the recuitment open in their web sites. I suppose its never too late to apply. Good Luck to all
