As a vocal critic of the illusion that is Emirates, I must say that the one exception over the last few years is Recruiting. They are an excellent team selected from the ordinary folk. Most of them are not "company men" just line drivers looking for a break from the boredom of flying.
Yes they do often expect guys to be available at short notice, but this is more an opportunity than anything else. These things are not policy, just a reaction to candidates pulling out at short notice. They figure that it is a win win situation. They get someone to fill the slot, and someone gets an interview they weren't expecting. If you can't make the short notice trip, well that's unfortunate, but someone will, and many get jobs.
Things are extremely dynamic here. It is probable that even the recruiting managers are not 100% sure how many crew they need between now and the end of the year. Sure they have a number, but things change here quickly, and I imagine that this is one of those times.
Rest assured that if you have met the requirements, you will here in good time, if not i suspect you are in no hurry to get the news anyway.
