Dear Mike,
excellent post about the Emirates recruitment process! Very well written and useful. I really liked it.
It's more than 40 degrees today (oh, you are American, I mean more than 100 degrees), it's getting very hot. Although, you will enjoy the beach and the pool in May and June. Even later if the water is cold and you go swimming after sunset. I was told that this heat is different from the Californian heat. Well, you'll see...
There are lots of new A380s coming this year, so you might be trained on that aircraft type. The 380 doesn't fly to LA but it's going to fly to New York again from October. I guess they haven't told you yet which fleet you got.
Some new-joiners are awfully spoiled and complain about absolutely everything. I hope you will have a nice batch, friendly flatmate and pretty accomodation.
I hope you will be able to adapt to this new environment and enjoy. Upgrades finally started again, slowly but surely. If your performance and attendance is very good, you'll make it to premium cabin in 14-18 months.
I wish you all the best with Emirates and congratulations!!!

to lola81 - passport
Yes, they take your passport right after arriving to Dubai. They will give it back to you appr. 4 weeks later with the valid residence visa in it.
No worries. You will have the copy of your passport, your ID from your home country and your birth certificate. These documents should be more than enough to prove to your consulate who you are.

About this maid: so she "lost" her passport and the consulate doesn't give her a temporary one to go home? Are you kidding me?! And surely, Australian housewives usually beat up the maids! I seriously doubt it.

Dear Mari,
I was hoping that you know a little bit about my accommodation which is Obaidulla Building 4, Al Qusais! I searched the forum and in the search engines but I couldn't find useful information. Any help will be appreciated !

IQ test
Hi guys I am quite curious about the IQ test as well. Does it actually determine your chance in getting hired? I have read some posts back and some say the IQ test is just random, others say doing the IQ wont actually determine anything whereas my friends (3 of them work for emirates) says it is, while the other 2 said it's just a test that helps the recruiters understand how you solve problems and if you can solve it in a timely manner.
I guess we will never know... We'll just have to do our best to impress them and do the best!
Anyone going to the Brisbane OD this saturday? It will be my second time going and I made it to the FI the first go.
Good luck to those who are waiting for the golden calls and the ones who are attending OD/AD's
PS. I saw an earlier post where someone asked if new crews are doing mostly turnarounds and 2 lay-overs a month for a period of 6 months. Well that's not the case anymore. My friends who just got hired and finished their training have travelled to 4 lay-over cities and they've just finished their training a month ago. The reason? Emirates is very short staffed according to them, and according to this Emirates pilot I met a few days ago
God bless you all!

what consists of security documents after golden calls
hi, I am a newbie on this forum and waiting for the golden call.
I am just curious what consists of security documents that you have to upload at the portal.
By any chance does it include police certificates from the countries you lived more than 6months?
I have lived in the USA, Canada, and now in Australia, so just curious if I should prepare for all 3 countries police certificates in the case I get the golden call.
Someone please write the security documents list here please.
Thanks!
PS: Also, if anyone did the final interview this week in Sydney, please hella back to me. I did it on Monday.

All that is required for the security documents section is a copy of your passport and a passport size photo - once they are scanned onto the portal that's it, until you arrive in Dubai, where copies of your Birth Cert are required.
Hope this helps.

Phonecall
After 5 weeks of waiting after my FI I decided to phone Emirates on the number that was on here. I got through to someone from HR who checked my application and I'm sure she said something about it being in progress and I would receive a call or an email within the next 4 days. Any thoughts on this?

thoughts
I have one: you might receive a phone call or an e-mail within 4 days. You might receive some news later, even she said it was going to be 4 days. You will get to know the result soon like anyone else.
Does anyone have any other thoughts on this?!

Thank you Mike_OB for sharing with us you OD and FI experience, I really enjoyed it! Jagged_J, Shezare, Tweezers, Moe.Ismail, EkIstambul and I have the same DOJ, 3rd May. Hope to see you soon in DXB and hope we'll be all in the same batch!
Anybody else have the same DOJ?
Hi Mari,
May I ask you If you have a blog or can you recommend a blog of EK FA or of another airlines?

I suggest you to e-mail them your document and explain what problem do you have, or try again later or tommorow. If it doesn't work try e-mail or call them tommorow!
Good luck!

OMG!
Okay so 1st thing this morning i checked my EK status and it still said under review and as Dubai is 3 hours ahead and their working day was over i thought that would be it and i would check again tomorrow but i didn't have the patience and checked just now and it says your recruitment co-ordinator will contact you at the earliest! But i never saw it say approval in progress do you think this means i could still get the rejection email?
I am so excited but terrified i might still get the email!
Phaquer how is your status?
Wishing all of us waiting for our golden calls all the patience and luck we need!

Hey Flick87,
the exact same thing happened to me. After 6 weeks of waiting, i called Dubai, and the woman i spoke with, told me that my application is still under process and i will be contacted by Emirates until Friday and if not a should call them on Monday. The worrying part is that she mentioned that i will be contacted via email(and as we all know, email means rejection). When i asked her if she needs my new phone number, she told me that she's just gonna need my email
Guess thats a bad sign.... Well, as long as she told you that you may get a phone call, dont worry at all. Your application is still under process and you may get your golden call anytime soon.
Fingers crossed!
