Ozboi23,
Well done mate and congratulations!! What state was your interview held in??
With the reference mate i am almost positive they only require it for thier records. My girlfriend was excepted by emirates last month and she provided them it, and knows that there were definatley no calls made.
She was also told by another cabin crew member that Emirates never call the references. But then again you never know, thats two people out of about 3500.
again, WELL DONE!! Andrew.
