Hi there
I saw the recruitment ad in the 'local' paper The Advertiser (on the Sat before the interview in Adel), but I didn't go based on what I've been reading on Pprune.
It sounds very disappointing, especially as so many people take so much time and effort for these interviews. I noticed in the ad that they didn't include their cut-off age limit, which probably meant that a lot of people in their late 30s would have been immediately crossed off the list.
Emirates are currently advertising for a new Cabin Crew Recruitment Manager so maybe their recruitment format will change
