Hi everyone.
I am due to start in dubai on the 1st of Sept. I have a question for those already flying. I am from Melbourne and was speaking to a past-employee of Emirates who said they put you on flights to your home country but avoid flying you to the city that your from to avoid you getting homesick. Can anyone confirm or deny this?!
Much appreciated!
Definitely wrong!! I had a friend who was from Melbourne and she was flown home every month! Emirates are pretty good to you from what I hear that would never be the case.
Also-- I'm at medical stage, does anyone know how strict they are on this because I have told the whole of Hobart pretty much I am in etc and have started packing nearly I'm so excited and then realised this morning that technically I still have one more thing to pass? theres nothing really wrong with me at all (except for asthma) but now I'm completely stressed out because I went to Thailand recently and had these buckets of vodka and my friends and i think now they had drugs in them because we all felt really weird and i was seeing double at one point. I have never taken any other drugs but I'm freaking out I wont pass the drug test! Anyone have any ideas, apparently the buckets have speed and sudoefrom (however you spell it ) which is used to make ice!
Im starting to see alot of melbournians or those attending the melbourne open day joing the forum. cool that shows that theres a few of us.....dont stress youre self emirates girl with the medicals, just make sure as i told you the OPG and the two bitewings and the dental treatment the gp eye and hearing is good and easy. the only toughness in it is 14 days from date of email.lol...hey JEM JEM add me and youll be able to join the group from melbournes open day we could keep a good discussion going on. take care everyone.....

somebody know after you sent all your documents how long does it take to be contact by them?
because it has been almost 3 weeks since my final interview and two weeks since i sent my documents, so i still waiting lol, im so nervous, i think about that call everyday hehehhe thats funny i think i will go crazy hehhe.
my open day was in santa cruz bolvia in south america and out of 80 only 5 went through the final interview, soi was wondering if they are gonna hire all of us .
ok i know i just have to wait lol, good look to everybody
hey bhill, dont stress out, it took them 4 weeks to ring me!! they will, if they haven't told you you are unsuccessful thats positive, it means that they are looking you over, if you hadn't passed the final interview they would have emailed you no already! if you get to 6 weeks then give them a call or an email- i have numbers if you need them, but leave it dont stress until then!!
congrats for getting this far at least!
I just wanted to ask if anyone here has got a reply from Emirates SOONER than they said in the interview. In the final interview the lady said I would get an answer in 4-6 weeks.
It's too long Im just wondering if thats the longest and we could possibly get contacted before that time... I'm too excited to wait
Good luck to every single one of you! Stay positive and good things will come your way!
Hey, i've been here for a few moths now working for EK, and it's quite well known that they don't roster home layovers for people from austrailia as alot of the ozzie crew call in sick down route to get a longer layover in their home town. But you can always bid for your home route, and swap it with other crew, so you will still get as many as you want.
oh and good luck to everyone who is waiting for the golden call, i know it is really frustraiting, but in the end it is more than worth it!! ignore all of the negative comments you might hear from crew already here, it is ging to be everything you expect and more! just one word fo advice.. don't expect your accomodation to be in the centre of dubai!! haha... you may be a little way out of town, but it's still good accomodation.
I gor a call and email from EK and the lady said my DOJ is 5-sep-2008.
I'm so excited. On Monday I'll do my medical check..It'll gonna be a tough job.....Is there any one heading to dubai on 5.sep?
Just to let you know, tht ive just sent all the medical details and now its all about waiting.....Anyone else apart from emirates girl and jen jen leaving with me or bing in dxb (dubai) on the 30th of august........ for all the others wishing you the best of luck and hope that you are successful to come onboard the emirates crew.....
Take care all

Hi EasyNick,
Thanks so much for your post- nice to hear from a current Emirates crew member, i have read through the current cabin crew website and (not that I know yet) but there is a fair bit of negativity on there, it started to worry me so i stopped reading it!!!! thanks for your positivity, much appreciated.
PBaby, CONGRATS!!! I'm leaving melb 29/8 so wont be with you but very close - well done!
emirates girl
Is there anyone else apart from emirates gal and myself leaving melbourne on the 29th........common Jem -Jem Dont spoil the party u gotto come along with us...............common forum group members support the cause.lol. Anyway if anyone is let us know in other word anyone arriving in Dubai on the 30th of August then you should speak up because the most likely scenario is were going to be in the same training group . I Just got a confirmation email from Ek to state they received my medicals now its waiting for the ticket to dubai.......
The most expesive part is the dentals (less than $1000 AUD ) the rest i have health cover for and done straight away.....Anyway it would be great fro anyone whos going to be in dubai at the same time to add me to their freinds list on either facebook or msn () or Email me guys and gals () 37 Days to Go EK Gal....The Countdown is still going...........My Dream is to fly like the rainbow so high...............
Another Thing for those who are currently cabin crew with EK what can the pay get up to on a monthly basis? or in other words what was the max in USD did you earn in a month? thanks for all the help im still around and not going anywhere unless on a plane guys so dont be afraid to knock on the door..........
hey all, i just attend the interviews yest, but im not one of d lucky one to get into final interview anyway. i guess the interview we undergo is diff from other countries (after wat i read the process of selection from the forum)
well, i failed the screening n assessment stage.
might be due to i just contribute a bit in the whole ssession of group interview..? we started at 9 smth, n dey select 15 applicants out of 64/65 candidates on screening assessment round 2 ( 3 pm ++). n they divide into two groups.. im one of d group 1 wit bout 7 candidates.. unfortunately i did not pass thru that round .. its pretty disappointed though, coz like wat i mention from 1st to 2nd till 3rd.. n all this while waiting n keep on compete , by d end of d day couldnt reach final stage..
hey Susy.
The open day is in 5 days... 26th of July in Rome.
I'm going there on friday and meeting two other girls there.
let me know if you are going.
More info about it you will find on Emirates website.
yes i'm with mohamed, does anyone have any idea of how much you would actually earn with Emirates? I'm all confused with the base plus flying pay and have been trying to work it out- anyone have any idea how much you would earn in a month?
for anyone out there who hasn't passed through to final interviews or selection process, just think it wasn't your time, i know its easy for me to say when I am at medical stage, but things happen for a reason- one of my girlfriends didn't get into emirates and cried for 3 days STRAIGHT but a few months later met the man of her DREAMS and is now married and is grateful she didn't get into emirates otherwise she wouldn't have met her husband. the world works in mysterious ways----
hang in there everyone, its a long, stressful wait but worth it- be positive.

Hi everyone, I'm a new member cuz I just passed my licences CPL and IR last month and I am actually in MCC in a private school in France. I am looking for a job as a pilot now but I have no experience (about 200 hours that's all) and I would appreciate if someone can give me some advice about applying for Emirates or Etihad... like when and where can I mail my CVs, if someone knows if they hire unqualified persons...if I need a type rating and so on
Thanks a lot to everybody
Im just wondering if thats the longest and we could possibly get contacted before that time... I'm too excited to wait
