danni14 would you be able to give us an exact breakdown of all the medical stuff that you need to do? I presume the blood tests, hearing and sight were part of one "full medical" done by the doctor were they? Is the full medical actually a TOTAL check of everything or do etihad only ask for certain things to be checked? What do they check for in the blood tests? Do they do hormone tests and sexual health screening and all as well? Which vaccinations do you need? Did the jabs make you a little ill afterwards? Whats the visual requirement? I wear glasses for perfect vision and im grand without them but a little blurry at distance..but I cant get contacts for my problem so im concerned about that. What are they looking for in the chest Xray? I have benign harmless breast lumps that im sure will show up...hope they dont mind that either! hahah . If there are problems with the medical results do you have a chance to rectify things and retake them? Sorry for all the questions, I would just like to have a good idea of whats coming next
Thanks a mill!
If anyone is having medicals done in Dubai the Dubai London Clinic are really good. The doctors part costs AED 1200 and the dental part is AED 450. They were really quick for the medical part, Im going to the dentist tonight so I will let you know how it go's. Hopefully I should have everything sent to EY by tomorrow. Im still waiting on blood result but they should be back today.
I rang the department that handles medicals/security directly today. I was hoping to do what fingersxd did and get a start date but was unable to get one.
She pulled up my file very quickly and atleast told me that security clearance had been passed and that they would ring with a DOJ when it was my turn. I'm on a list and they are just working down it. It's not my turn yet.
Though she did say within a month easily(as im going to uk on july23rd)
I tried to call Celeste from friday, no luck! always get through to voicemail.
But i got the mail from the recruitment agency i applied to etihad:
"Just like to inform you all that Etihad is starting with their cabin crew courses now in August and October. So they are starting to send out the employment offer and the medical. They can not take every candidate at the first course but just to inform you that they have started to employ again. So hopefully it will not take too long until you hear from them."
Thank you very much! I am happy that I can finally relax without any thinking and waiting for THE call. You must be also one of the members of the "waiting club"! I wish you good luck, just hope for the best!
I am starting on the 23rd August as well! I have sent off my medicals and am just waiting on the reply. How long did it take them to get back to you about the medicals? I want to quit my job soon and get myself organised, but won't do it until my meds are approved-so hopefully I will hear from them soon!
Was the 23rd August your original date or did they give you that date after your medicals were passed? I sent my medicals last night so Im hoping to hear from them today or tomorrow. My date is 18th Oct but I would love a date earlier than that.
Thanks for your kind reply~
Actually, I mentioned that I'm willing to go to Turkey for AD in my on-line application... but they might be not interested in my resume anyway...
so now I'm still waiting another AD schedule will pop up the career web-site. hopefully, everything gonna be great for everyone~!!
Hey!I am also the one who is waiting sooo much for THE call...
My AD was 26th of February...
I'm already so exhausted of waiting..-I left a good job I had (project manager)and moved to another city as I thought it wouldn't take too long to get the call and now I'm working as
receptionist at a company where everybody looks down on me and treats me like a silly girl who probably doesn't even know how to say "good morning" in english
Maybe it's a lesson from life and if so -I do hope all this waiting will pay off soon or very soon))
Patience is a real virtue, isn't it?
Good luck to everybody!
Fingers xd, there is no harm in asking for an earlier date. The difficulty is that the September training dates aren't going ahead due to ramadan. So after August the next training isn't until October. But give it a whirl, when they told me I would have to move to October because of ramadan I asked for August instead and got it. August may be full, but there is no harm asking the question. Good luck!
for those waiting for THE phone call.
Hi neighbor!
