Has Emirates ever hired a total newbie?

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! :{

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.
