Archer, Bigdaviet,
Sorry I have to say it but stop worrying so much.
You have not been called end of September? Me neither, and apparently another 140 guys sat by their phones waiting.
You said it yourselves: 150 in the pool or so we think, did you really think that on the 30/09, all of us would get a call for a start date in January?
Emirates did exactly what they said they would: get in touch at the end of September, first in first out basis, some were waiting since early Feb, well they got a call.
Chill out, there is movement, it's not all doom and gloom
Good luck
