Flying or NO flying experience?

Hi all

Sorry if this has already been asked, it's just such a big thread to go over and read what has/hasn't been discussed!

I'm really keen on pursuing my dream of International Cabin Crew in the next year or two, in particular with the Emirates Group as I have admired this Airline for many years now.

Presently, I possess approximately 2 years Airline (Ground Crew) experience and have opportunities to get into Domestic flying within Australia. I've heard before that when Emirates recruit, they usually prefer to hire those whom do NOT possess Cabin Crew experience, as that way they can train 'fresh' and 'passionate' individuals and mold them to EK's standards.

My question is, do you think I would have a better chance of getting in with Emirates if I were to have:

- NO flying experience, but over 3 years Airline Ground Crew experience; or
- 2 years Airline Ground Crew experience, in addition to Domestic Cabin Crew experience?
