Hi jzmn59
Plz have a look at Airboy website. this is really good info. about almost every questions about EK. He even put the picture of the area that call red zone which not support to have a tattoo, but of course you can have it but not to be visible when you are wearing the uniform. A gal friend of mine she got a bid butterfly tattoo on her tummy area, but it's a real big one almost cover all her tummy area the centre of the tattoo is her belly button. And she has got it before she with EK. She was with another Airline with me in the middle east and she was fine with that airline as well. Yes they ask you to take the top off and only the bra on, you do it with the female doctor anyway.

Hey thanks for the info... and yeah Ive read Airboy haha he is really very good with all the info, very helpful in answering questions too!! 
So when you take the top off, is it to check for tattoos or to do medical stuff like Xray etc? Will the doctor search your body for tattoos if you say you dont have?
Thanks!

LOL it's definitely not about who has the loudest mouth, in fact i dont think they want any domineering loud mouths at all!
It's about breaking through the tremendously hungry crowd of over 100 all vying for the same job and doing it by getting yourself noticed in a very positive way. How else are they gonna take note of you if you are not quick to make an impression (a good one of coz!)?
Don;t worry blondie_hostie.... practise makes perfect.. keep trying!

Im not sure about the tattoo issue, I have heard of people that have commenced their training and been doing activities or whatever and the tattoo has been spotted and coz they didnt declare it at time of application they got sent home. Is it pretty visible where it is? pm me if u dont want to talk about it on here.

Hi jzmn59
For EK, I don't know about take the top off for tattoo searching. I could said from the pervious experience was just only when you do Audiogram where they will put all the pad which attached with the wire to the mechine (sorry about how to show you the picture) so you need to take the top off. And another thing with that airling they do test for the breast cancer but not a full on check, they just try to see whether you got any lump in you breast regarding the insurance. Oh and also the blood vein around you leg as well coz we work at 35,000ft and if you start to have some now it will be more like to have more in the future so the medical will not cover for that, which it's a cosmetic medical thing so we can claim from the airline company. But if you didn't have it before you start to fly and then you get the vein thingee, you can claim it through the company but I'm not sure about EK. so about the tattoo, as I have seen with my gal friend, I don't think it should be any problem follow by Airboy website red zones things.

Hey thanks for your reply 
So I guess they'll ask if you have tattoos but they won't search your body for it yeah?
Can anyone else confirm this?
Thanks in advance!!

Emirates :)
wooop I have received my e-ticket and visa now! I go on Friday from Manchester yaaaay!
Please can somebody advise me on my previous post, based on how far in advance would I need to book holidays, how likely is it that I will get them off? Are discounts just for immediate family? Is Manchester a layover?
Thankyouuuu

K so I called the Konexion agency...that I was to told to call if i'm attending an open house out of town..(for canadians only), and she told me that im to SHORT FOR EMIRATES!!! ummmm wtf I though 5"3 was good...and i even checked i can totally reach 212cm..with some help from tiptoes. So I checked my height, called her back and she did not believe me!!! she was pretty rude after, and was like well I have never met anyone thats 5'3 and can reach 212cm..
so now im discouraged....any canadians out there in this blog...what was ur height going into the interviews? am i really to short?
OH AND I was just on a emirates flight in October, my mom asked a FA to help put her carry-on in the upper compartment, and the FA said she can't help because she can't reach it either!!! WTF, HOW DID SHE GET THE JOB THAN?
sorry for ranting..but i need some input into this..! I dont know if i should bother spending the money on travel now and going to the OH!

Too short?
Hope2Fly
I don't know if it will help you a lot but I'm only 5'4 (165cm) and now I'm doingmy medicals to Join EK on Feb 13th. I did the interviews in Japan - needless to say that there were ppl shorter than me.
She was very rude with you and I think you should try, if this is really what you want to do

Hi Vix85
How are you? got the No email today!
I'm surprised because they sent me an email in the same time you sent me a message on FB. I'm online if you want to have a chat. I'm kinda relief now so I know where I'm heading too.
I'm surprised coz it's been 5 weeks and I got NO email.
I jst notice something, on the email I have received has no sender ID (no sender email address) and the address (mine) was incorrect!! so if anyone who got the idea about NO email would like to help me get the clear picture that would be great. Just seems to be odd, coz I checked back all those email I have received from EK it's all having a sender ID, I think it's weird, so anyone could share this to me, I would be appreicated. It's could be a spam!!

Medicals officially SUCK part 4 - some info!!
Guys your medicals are a nightmare. If you can find one of the aviation medical places that do everything thats the best. I dont have one anywhere near me so I had to go to my normal doctor and dentist.
Receptionists would book me in with the nurse and they wouldnt have the vaccines or an audiogram machine. Best thing to do would be to take all your paperwork to the doctors, speak to someone about everything....if they can do it and when!!
As for the tattoos I was sent a document which I had to sign and declare if I had any tattoos visable or not. I would definitely declare them even if you think they will not be a problem because if you lie....they will probably sack you on the spot.
During my medical I had to expose my back, my front and my legs and my feet. My Doctor doesnt need to comment on tattoos but you have to have this all done all over again in Dubai by Emirates nurses so they might comment. I think its best to be honest....if you dont think they are problem they probably wont be.
Yourfather - I dont understand why you are on this forum you have no interest in becoming cabin crew. I am incredibly proud of myself that I was offered this job and I dont think the recruitors were **** in anyway. They dont work for a seperate company....they work directly for Emirates and most use to be cabin crew themselves. I appreciate everyone has an opinion but you have never been to an open day so how would you know?
leanne240487 - Manchester usually is a layover...maybe 24 hours. Discounts are for immeadiate family only (these should be the people you entered into the website when you were offered the job). Beause you are not working 9-5 I think you can swop your flights tc to create days off or you can use your holiday. Reading the handbook they ask you to take 50% of your holiday between your third and sixth month of employment. I hope this helps,

Thankyou for your reply, hopefully I will be able to swap flights sometimes though obviously part of the amazing experience will be getting to fly all over the world, so I won't be wanting to travel back to Manchester all the time
Thanks again,
Leanne

Oxaliza: That's a strange one, any email i've had from EK has always had an emirates based email address, do you know of anyone else has has the NO email to ask them if there's has an email address??
Wish 2 fly@: You seem to be having a time of it with your medical! Sounds like a right nightmare!
They called me on Monday to ask which airport I want to use as my Annual Leave Destination and then they said they will contact me within a few days to let me know the outcome... so I dunno what to think!!

reduced number of ab-anitio
Guys,
be aware the facts!
1. There is an economic crisis going on. It affects the aviation industry, Dubai and the Emirates Airline, as well.
2. There were a large number of crew hired recently. 90 crew came out from the college every week in the past 6 months due to the expansion of the Emirates fleet. The number of badges were reduced.
3. We received 4 A380s (one aircraft requires 144 crew) and 8 Boeing 777s in 2008. The other 380s are delayed (only 2 arrives in 2009) and I don't know about the Boeings.
4. Not many people resigns nowadays.
Emirates keep recruiting BUT I'm sure that much less people will be hired this year than before. Maybe only 1 or 2 from each Open Day. It can also happen that you might have to wait long for the positive answer AND/OR your date of joining is a couple months later.
Be patient and don't give it up!

HI there
Hi anyone who has got the NO email..could you help me with this, apparenty I got the NO email without the sender ID to me and even put my address incorrectly and the format look a bit odd compare to those email I have had from EK in the past. So if anyone who got NO email could help me work it out that would be great. It looks like a spam!!

I recieved email from [email protected] with no email
is this the email that they used in sending you NO email?
if yes, maybe this email ad is valid.

^dear, that's a spam obviously. I think it will be helpful if someone can post the official email address where the NO email should come from. But if that will already divulge confidential information of the compayn, then at least someone would care to share the proper "ending" of the email (what must be written after the "@" symbol): *****@________.com
It kinda makes me wonder why some applicants receive spam emails that are seemingly related to their application with Emirates. I mean, how will those spammers even know that those applicants applied to Emirates in the first place (unless they've publicly posted their email addresses on some forum or something)?
To those who have been doing their medicals, are you guys required to do a Tuberculin test?
