CAREER PROGRESSION & ROSTERING
Movement between Fleets
Emirates Airline recognizes the aspirations of its Pilots, and will endeavor to provide career progress. Moves between aircraft groups will be offered whenever possible, at the discretion of Management.
Command Upgrade
Selection for command upgrade will be on the basis of suitability and seniority, and the following minimum experience requirements:
· Total flying experience of 6,000 hours
· A minimum of 4,000 hrs (P1 or P2), on Turbo-prop or Jet aircraft, with a MTOW of at least 10,000kgs
· A minimum of three years continuous service of Emirates
Rostering
Emirates is following the policy of Preferential Bidding System for Flight Crew Rostering. Crew are allowed to bid for trips and days off, with a variety of options; e.g. number of trips, days off after the trips, avoid a trip, consecutive days off on specific dates or at the beginning/end of the month, etc.
At present each category (e.g. B777 First Officers) is divided into 5 groups: A, B, C, D and E. These groups are rotated each month. E.g. In March, Group A might be top bid group, with Group E at the bottom. In April, Group A moves to the bottom with all other groups moving up. Thus Group B would be top bid group in April.
The satisfaction rate is quite high. Assuming that bids have been entered correctly and in sufficient number to achieve the desired credits, the top 2 groups each month achieve close to a 100% satisfaction rate.
Rosters are generated strictly within GCAA Flight Duty Time rules of UAE civil aviation authority, which are very similar to those of JAR Ops.
