jem-jem re home layovers.
Hey, i've been here for a few moths now working for EK, and it's quite well known that they don't roster home layovers for people from austrailia as alot of the ozzie crew call in sick down route to get a longer layover in their home town. But you can always bid for your home route, and swap it with other crew, so you will still get as many as you want.
oh and good luck to everyone who is waiting for the golden call, i know it is really frustraiting, but in the end it is more than worth it!! ignore all of the negative comments you might hear from crew already here, it is ging to be everything you expect and more! just one word fo advice.. don't expect your accomodation to be in the centre of dubai!! haha... you may be a little way out of town, but it's still good accomodation.
goood luck!!!

anyone attend the 20/july interviews??
hey all, i just attend the interviews yest, but im not one of d lucky one to get into final interview anyway. i guess the interview we undergo is diff from other countries (after wat i read the process of selection from the forum)
well, i failed the screening n assessment stage.
might be due to i just contribute a bit in the whole ssession of group interview..? we started at 9 smth, n dey select 15 applicants out of 64/65 candidates on screening assessment round 2 ( 3 pm ++). n they divide into two groups.. im one of d group 1 wit bout 7 candidates.. unfortunately i did not pass thru that round ..
its pretty disappointed though, coz like wat i mention from 1st to 2nd till 3rd.. n all this while waiting n keep on compete , by d end of d day couldnt reach final stage..

yes i'm with mohamed, does anyone have any idea of how much you would actually earn with Emirates? I'm all confused with the base plus flying pay and have been trying to work it out- anyone have any idea how much you would earn in a month?
for anyone out there who hasn't passed through to final interviews or selection process, just think it wasn't your time, i know its easy for me to say when I am at medical stage, but things happen for a reason- one of my girlfriends didn't get into emirates and cried for 3 days STRAIGHT but a few months later met the man of her DREAMS and is now married and is grateful she didn't get into emirates otherwise she wouldn't have met her husband. the world works in mysterious ways----
hang in there everyone, its a long, stressful wait but worth it- be positive.

Hi everyone, I'm a new member cuz I just passed my licences CPL and IR last month and I am actually in MCC in a private school in France. I am looking for a job as a pilot now but I have no experience (about 200 hours that's all) and I would appreciate if someone can give me some advice about applying for Emirates or Etihad... like when and where can I mail my CVs, if someone knows if they hire unqualified persons...if I need a type rating and so on
Thanks a lot to everybody

Erinna,
You'd get more luck asking in the Middle East forum, but here goes. EK's min's are currently 4000 total time with at least 2000 on multicrew jets. The guys getting hired right now are well above those minimums and most have previous command time. I believe EY's requirements are a little bit less, but similar.
As a 200 hour new commercial pilot you may be eligible for a cadet program at Etihad, though traditionally its only been open to locals. Most airlines in the middle east require several years of experience before you can apply to them. Try looking into Ryanair, they have a cadet program if i'm not mistaken that requires you to come up with some cash for a type rating, but it does get you into the right seat of a jet. Good luck.

Hi Sarah
Here is the other website where you will find all the info that you need.
Cabin Crew Forum, Galley FM, Flight attendant forum
There is much needed info about dress code, pictures, interviews etc.
you should start now... because you don't have much time left.
Good luck and see You in Rome !!!

hi sarahz
hi everyone!!
most of the things and tips i learned from here , its very useful so read everything that is in here.
im a boy so i really dont know much a about the grooming for girls but when the 5 of us were picked, the lady told to the the other girls to wear their hair tight and groomed, the girls had to follow a dress code like business attire with a skirt, light colors like blue dark something like that, the hair have to look like a flight attendant!!.
when you go to the open day, remenber they watch you the moment you step in to the room, so be nice to everybody and always but always smile all the time, they like that.
before you go to the open day try to read many things about the company because the ladies will ask you about that, i remenbered that they asked how many airplanes does emirates have? and also, how many routes do they fly, i answer two of them but remenber dont answers all of them , give the others the oportunity to talk.
about the group discussions, always try to speak so everybody in the group can hear you, but dont over talk, always smile they watching you all the time, and remnber when somebody is sayng something you always have to said "thats a good idea" even if its not hehehehh, "i agree with that" just be polite all the time.
the english test, they gonna give you 45 to do it, so read and read many times so you dont get confuse and you will do fine.
the other group discussion is with a smaller gruop ,, this disccussion is about business situations, mine was about a hotel manager and we had to picked 5 guest out 10 and she asked why., by then only smile even if you dont know what to answer just smile heheheh i didi that lol.
im still waiting for the result, is gonna be one month since my final interview.
also, remenber be your self.
i wish you the best and good luck to all of you who are going to the open day, enyoy that day its very exciting .
good luck. if you have more çquestion i will be glad to answer.

Congrats on getting your medicals and getting final approval!! do you have any idea of the time of our flights? obviously i have to get up from hobart prior to our flight time and have been thinking about booking that to get best price....
the way i am doing right now is very excited! i have completed my dentals and having my medical done tomorrow-- hopefully i'll get everything done and results back by next thurs to complete my email on time. i've read over everything really thoroughly so as soon as i get the results i'll have everything emailed off- but if i have a prob i'll def give you a shout- thanks for the offer!!
also whats this about your phone disconnecting? i have been worried about that-- whether i should continue my telstra contract-- i was thinking about paying out my contract i only have a couple of months left. and buying a phone over there- app technology is really cheap!!
also i am relying on your to teach me arabic on the way over- i bought a book but obviously pronouncing is a whole other story!!
take care- keep me updated- CANT WAIT!!! 35 days count down.

hello! my 29/8 friend
hey-
thanks for that re leaving times, really helped me out, i'll get onto the aus airlines today and see what i can do- have to work out how much excess weight will cost me too... and how much hand luggage i can take on emirates (as 50kg just IS NOT enough luggage to move to dubai with)
thanks heaps for putting the request so we can leave together-- I will be devo if you ended up leaving a few hours before or after!
my administrator at work has offerred to shrink all my files for me (she's so wonderful) but i'll let you know if we can't work it out.
cant wait to fly out!! also cant wait til tomorrow and i get my medical over and done with!!
p.s i have some great card games i can teach you!
p.p.s do we have internet in our shared accommodation?
let me know asap when you get the time of the flight-- i've never flown with emirates before!
also i'm getting mixed messages, can friends come and stay wtih you in Dubai? what if they are purely platonic male friends? (random question I know)
thanks!!!
