Thanks Lilli,
I was thinking that, however in doing so, that would "show my hand" and hence remember my name and rule me out altogether... There is also the chance that whomever I speak to does not know what narcolepsy is, or even realise it is treatable, hence give an uneducated response inadvertendly destroying the hopes of aspirations of a young and otherwise fit and healthy individual...

Hey by the way. Did you receive any approvals on your medicals? Cauze I only had an approval about my DOJ and if I prefer smoker or non-smoker room. Does this mean everything is ok?

Dear friend do not worry,
I took the liberty of searching around the web about this condition if someone is intrested to find out here is the thread: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcolepsy
I any case from what i have read you have so to say issues with your sleep time, nevertheless in my oppinion is not such a difficult condition that can not be overpassed...so i keep my finger crossed for you, i also had problem sleeping exactly not sleeping at all for some few months in a row but fortunately passed.
I hope i did not offend you in any way, if so please forgive me in advance and if you see fit can ask the moderator to cancel this thread!
Regards

No offence intended, nor taken. The idea of asking the question was to gain a response which I thank you for.
I just pray that this matter is not prohibitive in its own right as I would be nothing short of distraught.

pjcarr, I was not cabin crew but flight deck prior to my retirement. I would not worry about your condition, nor would I volunteer it on a medical. Your sleep patterns will be totally disturbed anyhow on your overnights away from your base. Around about 0400 in Vacouver for instance, I would be wide awake and staring at the ceiling then fall asleep half an hour before call time at 0800 to get ready for the crew bus.

Please, help! I'm desperate!
Dear all,
I keep struggling with the medicals.
2 problems: on my medical form the box "varicose veins" says "yes"
. Some veins on my left lower leg are more...let's say "noticeable" than the others. Of course, now I'm worried sick about it. These veins do not hurt, have never created me problems, I can stand very well on my feet, I walk long distances, etc. But, however, it's "yes" on "varicose veins".
From your experience, what can you tell me? Will this be a very big problem for me? Will this mean not being given an unrestricted cabin crew licence?
2nd problem is concerning the teeth. My teeth look great, healthy and white, but....I have 2 missing teeth. The med. form says that missing teeth do not need fillings / replacements if posterior and unnoticeable. Happily, my missing ones are posterior and unnoticeable, but I still worry about it. I asked opinions of various dentists, friends, colleagues, they all say it really is unnoticeable when I smile, when I laugh etc. The solution is the dental implants, but I currently do not have 1400 EUR for that, otherwise I would do it.
Has anyone encountered this problem and got the job and the unrestricted licence after all?
Answers from you will be highly appreciated.

hint on interview
Hi there,
The process is still the same, they haven't changed anything, usually they change some of the objects on one on one interview.also the bunker tes can be transformed somehow but i think they stick to what it is now...2 years ago they also had geography so they were checking if you know some capitals of some contries but this is ok is not hard.
Here is some advice for the last interview when the EY lady will ask "what will you do in case you spill a drink on a passanger?"
This is what i woul answer:
Apoligise to the pax, offer clean moist towels to clean up. Soda water as well if it was red wine to reduce the stain.
Inform the Cabin Service Manager and your cabin Team Leader at once. This just in case the pax becomes angry, they have been trained to deal with it and HAVE dealt with it before.
Just remember not to worry about this. Doesn't matter, it has happened in across all the cabins.
You may want to say to the CSM it was the turbluance that added to the mistake ( don't tell the interviewer that ).
The interviewer is looking for a certain response.....
1.Did you aplogise to the pax?
2.What action did you take?
3.Did you inform your Team Leader and CSM???
4.Was the matter resolved.
5.Communication amongst the crew and Team Leaders.
Telling the CSM & T.L is to cover you incase the pax becomes angry, he or she may have had 7 glasses of wine before the spill and is now PISSED.
The CSM & T.L have been trained to deal with this matter, and trust me. They have dealt with this many time in the past before.
Hope this helps.
Regards

Whoops
Ianaav, the date has been changed, I'll be joining on the 11th instead. You were given the choice to choose between a smoking/non-smoking room.? I didnt know you could choose, perhaps i should just inform them of my choice heh.
So looks like i'll be seeing Ryz and Sofia_02.!
Anyone else on the 11th.?

Etihad references
Hello Guys, I am female and from Kuwait! I am new here and this is my first post! I applied for cabin crew position with Etihad last year in Bahran and was shortlisted after final interview! After the interview my application was put on hold and later on Etihad could not proceed with my application!
Few days ago they sent me an email asking for references! What do you think? Are they still proceeding my file? Is it good news? I really dont know what to say and what to expect! Who can help me?
Jihane
