Hi Guys,
I'm just wondering how the people that got the medicals refunded went about it? I have tried sending them endless emails over the past few months and they don't respond. Did you call up, or do I just keep hassling them?
Thanks!

Main reason for QR to be recruiting is because they CANNOT keep their crew. In average 60 crew are leaving each month. Of course you will find crew who are are happy there and deny that's nothing of the rubbish is happening but they are definitely in minority.
Think carefully before going to QR!

filwa,
my friend today told me the same. she works there for years...
it's not official, but there are rumors that there are no plans for new CC in 2009.
i've told her i've read here that some people are talking about september, october 2009 and she told me that that's a lie because they are still encouraged to take unpaid leaves and that shows a lot...

Theres nothing we can really do but wait it out. Everyone is hearing different things. Even the current staff. Like you say, a staff member told you it would be January at the earliest. A staff member told me it would be September-ish. It really sounds like even Emirates themselves have no idea when it will be and they are just playing it by ear.
I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again, all we can do is use the time to our advantage and work on building up our cvs and experience, everything happens for a reason. Its just not our time yet.
It might even be a good thing longterm. I really think that if I had heard about an open day 2 or 3 days beforehand and gone alone, theres no way in hell I would've gotten through. But because i've been given almost a year to prepare and look into what they want and have been given the time to research the airline and find out if they are what I want, as well as vice versa, I would go into it a lot more confident. So I'm actually quite grateful for the recession

I agree with Jaye. I was the unlucky ones that made it to the last interview but didn't quite make it landing in Dubai!! Now's the time for me to prepare my language skills and improve my mandarin and gaining experiences elsewhere to make myself the right candidate to Emirates or any other airline.
Just keep praying that the airline industry will pick up soon so then our chances will too

This is a completely random question and I have no idea why I'm wondering about this - just something that popped into my head and now I cant get it out... Does anyone know if EK CC share hotel rooms while they are on lay-overs?
Again, if you don't know off the top of your head, don't go to the trouble of finding out for me or anything. Theres no logical reason for me asking this lol. I'm just weird
(and nosey! )

i am not sure if they still encourage crew to take unpaid leaves,but i've been told by some crew that they have been pretty busy as too many crew are on unpaid leaves and they are a bit short-handed now,that's why my friend was telling me it would be a good sign if they following unpaid leave being cancelled !
sometimes i just can't help but thinking of ring up and ask what's happening in person instead !
for now i don't care how long i'll have to wait,as long as i will be there one day !

hi jaye! emirates CC do not share rooms on layovers. they are all given their own rooms..Not unless a cabin crew would want to sleep with another cabin crew (or pilot..)
hahaha!
where is the good news? hope it will come soon.
My friend from Emirates said that they are all busy with theiir flights.they only get minimum days off unlike before where in sometimes you get more days-off than flights in a month. i hope that this will be a go-signal for emirates to rehire soon. lets just cross our fingers!

Hi everyone,
I'm new here, but I've been following your discussion for some time. I have a question: does anyone know if there's an age limit for admission? It's just that I'm waiting for THE email and I'm dangerously approaching the age of 27 and I'm just wondering if it's not to late to start my career as CC?

I got hired at 33 with Banking experience lol and plenty others here hired at 34 and 35 when I started...
We are indeed pretty busy, but then again it is summer and people travel more during this time then any other, hopefully we ll be as busy when crew come back from unpaid leave.

Judging by the state of things it may take a while before I start flying

Open Days
Hi All! I've been on a certian web site which states that there are different OD'S being held in different countries and one planned in Bangkok for Dec 09...i've tried posting this question before and mentioned the name of the web site but my post was rejected so I won't mention in this time around! I am wondering if anyone knows if this is true?? After reading a few of your posts it would seem that most of you are of the opinion that all is on hold for a while but if what this site is saying is true I was thinking of making the trip to Bangkok...obviously a bit of a hike from Sydney so was hoping to have more concrete info. Anyone??

hiya beatac, it depends which airline you're thinking of. Emirates havent had an open day for a while and don't have anything announced yet (but there are rumours aplenty!) but there's really no way of knowing when the day will be that they post something on their site telling us all they are holding one in two or three days time so keep checking.
If you wanna pm me the name of the airline you heard are recruiting in bhangkok I'll try to help?

Advertised OD's and AD's
Hi Jay... the web site specifies OD's for Emirates and AD's for Etihad! I'm not sure what to make of it
...
I have tried posting the name of it here but my posts don't appear to be allowed through! You can message me privately (as a few people have) and check it out...any thoughts from others would be great...

That site I mentioned!
Hi Guys! I have recieved feedback from some of you with regard to that web site I mentioned, most are of the opinion that the info is out of date and lists some events for months that were cancelled this year by Emirates...unfortunately I don't think we should get our hopes up!
And I guess if anything was planned it would be or will be isted on the airlines own career web site, this is our best bet! However I am happy to provide name of site to anyone that still wants to check it out...
