Accomodation/ Tests
Hi Guys
Had more than 100 hours flying this month so hardly been at home!!!
Well as for accomodation there are some apartments in Jumeirah and by Mall of Emirates almost ready, 2 Buildings in Sheikh Zayed to be ready by the end of the year. Not all new joiners are going in Hotels and my friend just joined and let her stay in my apartment as she was put in a hotel and there were another 2 joiners with her that had apartments straight away... this was this morning.
With regards to the exams just put off shopping and touring dubai for a bit and concentrate on studying if your english is good as in understanding what's being explained in classes and study everyday you should pass. The only crew that failed in my batch were the ones that had trouble understanding english and had to repeat the week but they felt more confident once they started flying. Also with the safety and emergency procedures you have to make sure you're confident and not shy as they need to see that you can be able to take the lead in an emergency.
With regards to drinking ... ramadan just started so won't be able to party much and anyone coming anytime soon please remeber to dress modestly no short skirts or sleevless tops, no smoking, drinking (even water) or chewing gum in public from sunrise to sunset as the locals expect respect during their holy month... even if you're not muslim.
Don't panic for the training the trainers are great they will give you their rules and if you follow them you won't have any problems. They are very nice and helpful and they're not trying to fail you over nothing but they want you to be confident once you start flying. Take it step by step and you'll manage... Just work hard for 6 weeks it will pay off ... you'll have your graduation day before you know it!!!
