Hi popins, yes she thinks that she will be there during the training. Obviously its all new to her at mo. She's said the crew that she's met all seem really friendly and the chinese girls are very helpful and never stop smiling! A captain she used to work with at her previous airline flew to dubai yesterday also to work for emirates! The uniform is really lovely, lots of things and she particularly likes the "cute" brown leather hand bag, as she puts it! You get loadsof stuff, a bit different from her last airline! She said the crew on the plane she flew out on were great and kept bringing them(there were 2 other girls with her) extra wine cakes and champagne with strawberries. The crew seemed to work really hard she said. When I get more info from her on the training, I will let you know if you want? Many thanks, mother hen.
