Check this out and I will be back for a min, still cooking my dinner..he he
Hi this is what I got for you, your BMI is 25.5
It's all based on BMI (or Body Mass Index) calculate yours and check if you fit within those limits :
- below 16 = underweight > unacceptable
- 16 to 18 = acceptable with appropriate body frame (meaning proportions) and doctors OK GO
- 18 to 25 = normal > accepted
- 25 to 30 = acceptable with appropriate body frame (meaning proportions) and doctors OK GO
Reference: Airboy website
- over 30 = Obese > unacceptable
You can calculate your BMI here : Calculate your BMI—Standard and Metric BMI Calculators

Thanks Oxaliza
Thanks so much, you are great. Do they have weighing scales at any stage during the interview? I guess from your BMI index thingy that I should be OK?
Do you have any answers on the first section of my previous post about flight attendant experience/customer service experience?
Thank you so much for taking the time out to help me, I really do appreciate it

Hi, I'm back...
for the experience, the fact is all the experience you have got in whatever job will gice you the skill of how to mingle with the other ppl anyway, of course you would have good and bad side out of it to make you become you today.
Think about this, we are a hospitality ppl so it's about the genuine intend that you give to ppl. I try to pin point of how happy I am to be able to help ppl and what I get in return is feeling good of being part of that person happiness.
Do you think you have that. It doesn't matter what kind of job you are doing. Everything we do each day is involved with the others ppl around us, even though you are on the bus to go to work and you have that kind of thought of giving up your seat to the eldery..(this is just the example alright, some old ppl are the pain as well, I know that). So you if have that kind of good attutide regarding the service mind, it will be a PLUS++
Now, at work..think about who is your customers..colleages, friend and the real customers who come in the shop.
You are providng the service towards your colleages in the term of working as a team, helpful, no bitchy
so you make the good work place environment.
Then, you come across with difficult ppl at work..oh what a!! but you do well by not take thing personal, count 1,2,3.. or imagine that person is a monkey keep hiting his/her head and you will be fine.. coz he/she might has a bad night sleep, fight with partner, etc...and do that to customers as well.. but you have to a bit of skill to deal with them like it's fine NOT to look like you ignore them, being acknowledge toward them and you will be ok. But we can talk about this a bit more later on.
From your age 23 and have 13 months in hospitality and still working at the moment, I think it's fine. remember that the want ppl who have a service mind which it could happen anytime outside work as well.
Let's follow me a little bit...think about anytime that you do the good thing by helping someone on street who look like they lost the way and without they open their mouth to you, you notice that and you pop up the question "Anything I can help you?" so now you can see the picture that you are not only be helpful but you have the caring and pay attention to detail on thing around you. (But I don't want you to go out tomorrow and keep looking for ppl to try to help them,Ok. ha ha)
I send this for you to read first and I will tell you about FA experience in a min.

Yes, it's my 4th weeks and I think we will get the golden call soon, I got the good feeling and I woud like to thanks everyone of keep asking me all those questions as well. It's keep myself occupied and I feel good that I can help everyone here as well.
And (too many AND huh!! ha ha) I would like to apologized if I keep some of us waiting for me to reply and also if I forgot to mention some info. or didn't cover what you guys like to know enough. But I will do my best!!

the thing that worries me (and I work for EK, but not as Cabin Crew) is that I dont think Emirates makes jokes. I find it hard to belive they actually asked you that question......as I say, I know EK, getting a job here is not easy( but once done very wirhtwhile)..I doubt they joke.......

Keep hope alive. I couldn't believe when I saw that you got a rejection email after they told you you had to wait till the 8th since your file was under someone on vacation. I definitely think it was a mistake and you should definitely call them on the 8th or ninth. Can't hurt anyway. I am now waiting in my seventh week along with 8 other people in my final interviews. As far as EK not joking around, I mean seriously do you think no one has a personality at EK. I was joking around with my recruiters at my final interview and with the recruiters at the open day. They want personality there so I believe them asking you if you could sing or dance is nothing but good. They obviously enjoyed your company if the final interview went over an hour. I will keep my fingers crossed for you and will see you in Dubai. We will be there. Don't give up, you got this far...... I advise renting the movie the secret(trust me on this one). If you want I can send it to you through email in a zip file.... "If the mind can go there, the body will follow"
Good luck to all others waiting and keep those negative thoughts as far away as possible...

Medicals officially SUCK
Hey Everyone,
I havent wrote on here for a while either!! Dont really have much to say apart from trying to get the medicals done in 2 weeks over new year and Christmas is a nightmare.
Im not sure if its just in England (you guys can advise me) but things arent as simple as going to the doctor. In England local doctors refuse to give HIV test (unless an emergency) as they dont like it on their records. Not in a bad way....its just if they have it on their records you have to declare if for life insurance, mortgages etc. Also they do audiograms but no graph for the results!!......So you look for a private clinic to go for things such as the X-ray but you cant just pay for an x-ray.....oh no no no....that would be too easy.....You have to pay for a consultation also!! So for my x-ray I will have to pay round about £400.....then I have to do the same for my audiogram!!
Also as well ladies (guys dont read this next paragraph if you dont wanna read about "women's problems"!!!) for your cervical smear.....In England they will not give you a smear if you are under 25 years old without serious symptoms. This is why poor people like Jade Goody dont discover these things until they are serious....so unfortunately I wont be able to have one which is a shame because I would of like to be totally covered by Emirates for all medical...you know for piece of mind.
On a funnier note I did take my Dad with me to the GUM clinic (for all of you who dont know what that is.....its a clinic for anyone with sexual transmitted infections and things of that nature...mostly full of spotty teenagers all glaring each other). He sat in the waiting room while I had my HIV test (it was the only place that would do it!!). It was really funny I had this guy for my test and it was quite obvious that he was gay because he danced about with the syringe and insisted i take about 50 condoms "just in case"......even though I said there was no need!!! So i left the cubicle (a little paler) to find my Dad (even more pale than me) wanting to run out of the clinic...some young guy had been telling him that his girlfriend had given him the Christmas gift of Chlamydia. Needless to say I think my Dad had his eyes opened to the youth of today!! Anyone just thought I would share this because it was very funny.
Anyway I have got appointments all next week for my medical stuff and hopefully I will be able to send it all off on Saturday....then its the waiting game all over again. I have cut down on smoking, run for 20 mins everyday and take multivitamins......I thought I would have to do something as I am not a very healthy person...I run on red bull usually!!
Dubai_Bound - What are you up to now then? Have you done your medicals yet?
ChinoA - Like I said before you have nothing to lose....so I would call on the 9th and say you havent received an email at all.....you never know it might encourage them to look at your file again. You will keep applying right, if the worst comes to the worst?

wish to fly - MEDICALS SUCK BIG TIME
Hi there!
I guess it's not only in U.K but in Italy it's WORSE!!
I got to get the medicals done in italian and then translated into english..
Since I got my notice that I am successful only on 30th Jan, until today I couldn't start on anything cos there was NYE and everyone is on vacation plus in Italy there is a holiday on 6th Jan so this week is totally a DREADFUL week to get anything done at all..
Regarding the cervical smear, it's too bad that u got to be more than 25 yrs old, but I read on the docs that Emirates provide us that u can choose if u want to go through this test or not...
Well, I feel abit taken aback at this type of test cos it sounds "queasy" lol!!
Let me know how ur medicals fare and good luck!

Hey ChinoA...
I guess u should try calling again and getting the confirmation..
Ask if ur coordinator is back..he is the one you should talk to cos he/she will be the one handling ur file..
U kno I had to call them to know what happened to my file cos I had been waiting for 5 whole months and the best thing was they waited for me to bcom 21 in Dec..
So imagine my happiness when my coordinator told me that I'm successful ( I almost lost hope thinking they discarded my file and forgot about me!) and when I told him I was soo happy, he laughed with joy!
so pls take the initiative and call again...I'm sure u will get a positive answer!
Let all of us know!!
Good luck!
