Hi Guys,
I just got off the phone with Emirates New Joiners Department.
I asked them to check the status of my application, and told them I was informed last week that I should check this week.
The lady said that I have to wait for some more time because they are slowing down their recruitment.
I asked if the rumor was right and that Emirates Airlines has stopped recruiting .
The lady told me that they have not stopped recruiting but they are slowing everything down waiting for instructions form higher levels.
Decisions are being cooked now a days I guess and all we can do is sit and wait and of course apply for other jobs JUST IN CASE
Cheers,
Fadi

Let's Believe In Ek
Guys I guess we should also make an effort to believe in Emirates and give all our support cos they need it during these hard times...
I'm feeling really bad and depressed in this moment and all of us are...
Especially having come sooo far..
But Hope never should die..
As I have understood they are re-assessing and re- evaluating all of our applications (which are recommended for Final Approvals) and trying to "hire" only who, according to them, meet their actual and NECESSARY requirements for the time being..
It's like choosing "The Best" out of all of us but if we all come this far, all of us, I believe, have certain capabilities that they like and need for this job...
I really hope i'm wrong but as a few offers of employment have been withdrawn and since STILL some will be FLYING on their given DOJs, I have come to this conclusion...
It looks as if we are still being recruited after even doing our medicals and all...
Plus I have come to the conclusion that they are anyway gona host Open days in countries like Aussie and I guess I saw even Greece and Serbia, and I believe that Ek has chosen Aussie to be an A380 destination and hence they are gonna recruit CC from Aussie...
If anyone else has their own point of view, I would like to read a few of your comments about what I'm saying..
Anyways the HR office can't do anything until they get the "Orders" from their Superiors...
If their Superiors say" Withdraw all Offer of Employments" then that's what they will have to do but I wanna remain positive, cos they need US.. cos CC are the backbone of any successful airline...
Anyways I'm waiting for news from Airboy cos he is the one who can confirm these rumours as he said he's gonna investigate..
Fingers crossed for all of us!!!!

I didn't mean to offend anybody in here... And I apologize to mike. And what made in ukraine said it's certainly true.
It's just that I know that this situatin is affecting us all, and some comments just makes us feel even more desperate. And mike, you already have your DOJ man, you are in!!!! so I find it ridiculous to speak like that of a company that will hire you, anyways, it's your opinion, and I apologize if you felt insulted.
I got some question 4 you guys!
1. Who were the ones that had their contract withdrawn?
2. Did you receive an e-mail? Can you post it here?
Thanx

I know of two people who were supposed to join on February 13th and 20th. One of them received the email a few days ago; while a friend of mine who was supposed to leave on 20th received the letter on Saturday (7th of February). I can't paste the correspondence not addressed to me, but the overall tone of the message was "we are having tough times due to the financial crisis, so at this point we put you on hold." What was not clear was whether being on hold would mean that once EK recovers from its current condition, those presently on hold will be automatically re-invited to join or whether they would have to undergo through the whole process again.
One thing is clear - any medical results which are beyond 6 months will not be accepted as valid. I think, this is not only EK policy but also the requirement of the IATA. So, I would imagine that those who have submitted their results and are on hold, if contacted 6 months afterwards, may have to undergo through yet another set of checks (which, to my opinion, should be covered partially, if not full, by EK).

Hey Lia, if I may use the text from your email...
I wonder what they mean by this "Please note that the withdrawal of this offer of employment does not prevent you from applying for employment with us again in the future and, indeed, we would seek to re-contact you when we have our next course start dates confirmed to determine if you are still interested in a career as a Cabin Crew in our airline at that time."
Does it mean that they will contact a person to invite him/her to reapply for the position, or to finalize the offer of employment.
If Emirates decided to withdraw the offers of employment, I wonder whether it was such a big difficulty for their HR department to create an email which would not cause any confusion whatsoever. Something like "we put you on hold until the situation improves and once we start hiring again, your offer of employment will become valid again" or "we withdraw our offer, however invite you to reapply for our positions in future"... Instead, according to Lia's e-mail, it is a mix of two - go figure...
PS. There is a discussion on another forum about EK's FAs. According to some people, recruitment should come back to its normal after the end of Q1:

Had the same idea crossing my mind, too. For some reason, my confidence in Emirates is dwindling. Is it so difficult to employ HR that is capable to effectively address company's concerns at time like this professionally? Hmm.....

:S
Lets just try to get some inside info... reading this forum last couple of days gave me nothing but stress... we all have same problem and I see only one solution to this problem
to sit and wait for special mail. Thats it... I send e-mail to a friend working there in Emirates and I hope he will get some info for me. The biggest problem here with all us is that we are helpless... let's just wait.... and go on with our lives like we never applied for this job...
who is unemployed can start looking for job, who is student like me...should study...
time will pass quicker and sooner or later they will let us know are we going or not.
We all knew costs of medical we have to pay... we payed... we all knew we will have to wait... so lets wait...
If they turn us down... there is nothing we can do really... we cant fight Emirates... not invidialy anyway
P.S. My friend just told me main reason for all this is that new planes are not coming on time... so.... he will let me know more info when he finds out

Hot news...
Dear all,
Just came back from my flight and heard some news from our flight purser and yet this can sound quite dissapointed but is truth which we should accept it at this point.
1. No bonus for this year, revenue dropped significantly
2. Recruitment has stopped all their planned open days and assessment days until further notice.
3. Cabin Crew Upgrade opportunities have been delayed.
(it's my face...)
4. Cost and budgeting cut will be assumed to pass through the global financial downturn.
5. Some routes have been either cancelled or reduced its weekly or daily frequency, such as Nagoya will stop at the end of March, Johanesburg has only 2 daily flights instead of 3 (the afternoon one will be eventually 4 times a week, and later may be cancelled).
Above are some concret and realistic points from our senior people after their meeting with management, not to scare of but bare in mind that the we have been affected by the financial crisis, as a result, our company will re-plan and re-assure departmental and organisational policies by making sure every path has put at the right place.
Best wishes for all those who want to join us, let's hope the bad time will pass quickly so we can see you all on line!
Focus on what you are doing now, dont be panicing! It is time for those who had received the DOJ been delayed undefinitely email or call to rethink your near future, please dont be bothered to find a job before being notified by recruitment department. Thanks for all your understanding. Best of lucks for everyone!

Sydney Open Day 7 Feb
Hey Guys, I attended the Sydney open day on Saturday and thought I would share what we were advised. Basically the recruitment officer advised that due to both the economic slow down and the number of campaigns they have run over the last 6-12 months they would be pausing recruitment for the time being. This is the reason that pretty much all of the open days have been postponed and she advised that would have cancelled the sydney event also but that it was decided too close to the day and that as the invites had already been sent they would 'do the right thing' and the run the day as a CV collection only with just one recruiter.
It was a long day, I arrived a bit before 9 and didn't leave until 4.30! The poor thing did a great job considering she was there on her own and had to interview approx 250 people. She was still smiling when it was my turn, took the time to have a chat which didn't feel rushed and was a great representation of the company and that makes me even more determined to be succesful one day! She was obviously really passionate about the company. She advised that they would be running things differently this time and that those candidates who were shortlisted would receive an email by the end of february advising this and inviting them to attend an assessment rather than open day on a date to be determined. She advised this may be up to 3 months time! I also spoke to my mate deon85 over the weekend who is in his second week of training and also told me their hearing around the college that recruitment/training may be suspended for 3 months.
Fingers crossed it won't be too long and I'm really sorry to hear about the people receiving that dreaded email. I couldn't begin to imagine how you must feel...

I Can't Take This No More...
I just burst into tears...I can't take this no more....
I have never in my life gone under such stress only for a job and it says how much i care to work with EK..
This is too much..so it means we are all destined to get that horrible email.....
Tried to remain positive all this time that in some way things may work out but looks like there's no solution....
I don't feel like checking my mail for this whole terrible year 2009...
and i feel i won't be able to fly with emirates as a passenger ever again as my heart feels broken..
I'm sorry guys, I know I'm putting u all into despair...
Can't help it...

Anyone in the know?
Does anyone know what those of us who have recently got through to final interviews can expect? (mine was 4 weeks today, so I'm still within the 2-6 week period that I was informed I would receive a reply either way) My group literally just went through a week or two before all this 'trouble' really began to come to light. Does anyone have an idea of what's in store for us? I'm in touch with a great gal from my group ( I found her on here) and I don't think she's received word either. Is it likely they are holding off because of limited course dates, accomodation etc? I'm staying positive till the very end, but ofcourse I'm dying of curiosity!

I feel the same. I went to open day in Belgrade in December I didnt have hope... I just went to see... I made it to the final interview...
I went home and didnt expect the call from Dubai... I got the call...
I signed the offer but still didnt had hope before my medical reports...
I did my medical reports with were good, and then I started to hope... every day passes I want this job more and more...
I dont mind waiting for 7 months.... I dont mind if they postpotned me for a year... Ill redo the medicals... I dont mind that...
I just dont want them to withdraw their offer of employment and to make me go to another assesment day.
That I have issue with! Me too I cried... cause I want this job badly. I try to be positive, my friends hope and pray for me... cause I can't do it anymore...
I cant even study to finish my exams

Hey guys,
My DOJ was on the 13th of Feb, but they changed it to the 20th and then I got an email from EK saying that I will receive my ticket and visa very shortly ( that was a week ago, and nothing yet ).
Is that comforting news ? or I might get the withdrawal aswel very shortly?
Cheers

It really is so upsetting, I'm so glad to have found this forum to share in all this with you guys! We have all made changes in our lives because of their offer, so for them to withdraw it is disgusting....but you know what is worse-they haven't even withdrawn our offers yet! We are all sitting around in the dark with not a clue of what is going on. I'm meant to leave in 3 weeks, and other people sooner, and haven't even been approved yet.
If they are going to cancel our offers then they should do it already, to leave us hanging like this is torture, very cruel indeed. They put all these limitations on us, like have the medicals back within 2 weeks, and after trying to contact them for over a month now, they don't have an answer for us! Give us an answer already, clearly this is hurting a lot of people, and dragging it out only makes it worse!
Be strong guys...

Hi, im new to this site....im from Aus, and had my open day for emirates recruitment on saturday the 3rd of Jan, made it to the final stages, had my final one on one interview the 4th Jan. 2 weeks ago i recieved a image and uniform requirements form that i returned back to emirates, and we heard from the final 18 who got through to interviews, we heard some recieved their rejection email. I havent as yet, and sunday just gone has been the 4 weeks wait.
Does anybody know if people who did interviews in jan have any luck? Do you think i should call emirates? Has anyone who is still waiting to see whether they have even got through like me called to see what is going on?
I dont want to loose hope, i guess no news is good news at the moment. Hearing people who had got through to medical stage and got rejected dosent sound promising for me. However i will not get down until i hear from them.
