Well the final interview they didnt ask what i thought they would like the normal questions on why do you want to join emirates or be cabin crew or anything like that. They asked you to tell them situations from your job or previous jobs. some of the questions were when have you said no to a fellow colleague and talk about it, when did you make a customer or someone at your job really happy, talk about a situation when you had a great rapport with a customer things like that they kind of let you talk and write alot of what you are saying down! In the group exercise I thought everyone let everyone else say their bit and were all very polite and everyone who wanted to say something was easily able to. I think some of the cuts are made when you have to stand up and talk whether you sound confident then.

Hi Phaquer
The recruiters themselves dont check your teeth but if you get through your final interview the medical forms that have to be completed one is a dental exam and then all the teeth are checked and the form has to be completed to show all fillings, bridges, removed teeth etc even the back ones but i think as long as they look ok thats all that matters!

its not an open day i'm guessing
i think i'm ready for those question too... i hope. it's interesting that in the groups it was so easy to talk. my last time it wasn't. everyone was trying to get their two cents in before the time was up without openly talking over someone. one guy got too caught up in try to solve the problem that he talked a bit too long. blocked a girl from speaking at one point ( asking her if he could get one more second) ! i couldn't believe it. you all know he was cut after that point right.
. i just hope the people that going to be in my group try to help each other by letting each other speak. if we all work together we all could get to that FI.

Congrats EkHopeful I am so happy for you.
I'm done with the medicals just for one week, but the process can be shortened up to 2-3 days. Now I have to upload them and wait. I still do not have all the vaccinations they want but they will probably do the rest themselves. I am so looking forward to traveling to Dubai and starting my training. If you guys have questions do not hesitate to ask
Good luck to the rest of the crew waiting

6 months of waiting...
Hi, I went to the Open Day in Vancouver Oct. 23/09, but didn't make it through. I'm thinking about going to OD in Toronto Apr. 10/10.
If you didn't make it last time, you have to wait 6 month before reapplying, right?
I've been waiting almost 6 months for this second chance, but it's short 13 days. Should I just go ahead and try it or wait until the next time? I hate waiting :'(
Please anyone, help!

I don't think they will turn you down because of 13 days, if they consider you to be cc material. Therefore I'd give it a try. I went to an OD that turned into an AC - and I did not even have an invitation for the OD plus wore a pants suit as I had no idea that girls were expected to show up in costumes I have been successful and just finished my medical tests. Now I'm waiting for the final approval.
Good luck

@ luna007
hey luna007,
would you be willing to tell me approx how many people showed up to the vancouver open day back in Oct? Ill be attending the one on the 27th and was just wondering what to expect. What was your experience like? Was it run through konexion?
By the way, I think you should be fine with the 13 days away from 6 months for the OD in toronto good luck!

what are the chances?
Hi Guys,
I have a quick question. I recently had my final interview, but it seem that I am not successful
I really want to try again but what are the chances to be successful if they have rejected my application once? Do you guys know if there is someone who joined EK after an unsuccessful FI the first time?
Thanks

EK salary
Hi, does anybody know what is an average salary for the begginers including meal allowances and hourly flying pay? And do we receive a welcome bonus upon arrival to Dubai, as QR gives once you arrive to Doha?

EK salary
Basic salary for G2s: 3915 dhs
Hourly pay for G2s: 50.50 dhs (from chock-off to chock-on, NOT from check-in!)
Meal Allowances in the A380 fleet: appr. 2000-3000 dhs per month
Meal Allowances in the Main fleet: appr. 300-1000 dhs in the first 4 rosters (depends on the number and length of your layovers, there is a chance that you will have lots of turnarounds). After graduation: 1500-3000 dhs a month in a full roster.
Salary deduction: 390 dhs per month in the first 12 months
Flying hours: 900 per year. You will fly 70-110 hours in a full roster, you will fly 40-80 hours if you have leave. (Normally.)
Welcome loan (not bonus): 2000 dhs, deducted from your first 2 salaries.
1 USD is 3.65 dhs.
(Someone wrote previously that it was not true that new-joiners in the Main Fleet had lots of turnarounds during the probation. I checked more than 10 rosters: 4-8 turnarounds, 1-2 layovers usually. I'm sure there are exceptions but don't expect brilliant rosters at the beginning. No swaping, no biding during probation which is 6 months from the date of joining.)

Thanks, Luna007 Go for it!
The medical thingy went pretty smooth, however, I did not manage to get the radiology report in English - the doctor refused to write an English report. I then went to my family doctor who confirmed in English that everything is okay with my chest x-ray.
Has anybody encountered similar problems while getting the medicals done?
Thanks in advance,
Betty
