Online selection process
All applicants who apply online for a First Officer position with Emirates will receive immediate acknowledgement of your application. Applications will be reviewed and selected applicants will be contacted for an interview based on professional background, experience and suitability.
Updating your application
You are required to update your First Officer application regularly (we advise a 3 to 6 month interval) to ensure that your contact details, current employment, type ratings, aircraft type and flying hours are accurate and current.
The First Officer Selection Programme
Shortlisted candidates are provided with a round trip ticket from any Emirates destination, and invited to attend a four day selection process in Dubai. This programme is designed to provide you with an opportunity to experience both Emirates and Dubai. This allows candidates to identify and overcome any issues that may pose an obstacle to joining our team as well as ask questions about life as a professional pilot with Emirates in Dubai.
Where applicable, we encourage spouses to accompany candidates to Dubai for the Selection Programme, to ensure that this lifestyle decision suits both the individual and the entire family.
The two-stage selection programme generally follows a fixed format
