Hey guys, my DOJ is 22nd November as well, I fly out 23rd and will arrive on the 24th at 0520. It has been a long process so next week should be very exciting! I'll be in Al Qusais II, Al Fattan Building. I checked mine on google maps also .
I haven't heard anything regarding which fleet I'll be training with, Biotech did you receive an email notifying you of the A380 fleet? If so, when did you get it?
This forum has been so helpful to me in preparing for the move, Mari, ThatRedHatGirl, Purelife and many others, thank you for your posts!

I had already sent them an e-mail, but have no answer yet.
Do you know if there´s any way to contact them by the Phone?
Actually I dont know if the docs were sent to UK or Dubai first. Probably Uk as you said.
The people I know were dismissed via mail, an the ones who get a phone call, were to be told they were selected and to start with their medicals.
As far as I know, after you get slected by the recruiters, the office in Dubai or Uk, select you again or not. And I trully have no clue on how much your referees could make an inffluence. I´ve read of people being hired without referees being contacted and viceversa.
what I know, is that this waiting is really painful,hehe.
let´s see how it goes, and keep the fingers crossed.
bye!

A380 vs Main Fleet
Hi all,
I was considering emailing Emirates to request to be put on the Main Fleet, but I've decided that whatever is meant to be will be! My friend that is already working as CC told me that she is on A380 (used to be on Main Fleet but changed over) and her destinations are:
London
Manchester
Paris
Toronto
New York
Sydney
Auckland
Seoul
Beijing
Bangkok
Hong Kong
Jeddah
She said she gets more days off because she mainly does layovers.
So even if I get put on the A380, I'll still be very happy going to those places!

Sori84, so if we both have doj of 22nd then I assume we both start training on the thursday 25th. Good luck with the move over and see you next week.
I have not had an email re A380 so guess I am main fleet. I suppose there will have to be a separate course for each fleet, at least for the sep part anyway. But I am only guessing!
Look forward to seeing you all around the training college!

Hi, to the girl wondering if she can turn up to an Assessment Day. No, Assessment Day is by invitiation only. You could try, but you'd probably get turned away at the door as they have a list of names of people meant to attend.
Open Day- go for it, anyone can attend and it doesn't matter if you register online or not.
A380 and Main Fleet train separately to each other, for all subjects. So you may make some friends on the first two days but if you are fleeted differently, you won't see a lot of each other in training. Probably sometimes at lunch. If you have AM and they have PM training, well, good luck. Catch up with them later. Honestly, you will be quite busy for socialising. One of the first weekends you have is 2 days off, make the most of it!!!
Even if you have the same DOJ, doesn't mean you will be in the same class. When I started, there were 6 groups starting at the same time. We had 12 in our group. I think most are like this.
Don't forget, Emirates have ordered lots of A380, so though the destinations are few at the moment, they will increase. There is already rumours of 4 new destinations coming over the next few months (No, I will not say which as you don't know til it is announced, however, smart people who have been paying attention to EK and the media can probably guess)
As for photos, it has been mentioned many many MANY times now, please make at least an effort to read this. It will prepare you for all the reading you will do during training

graduation
I've just attended a graduation at the college. There were 5 batches!!! Each of them had 10-12 people. Many boys: 3-4 in a group and one of the batches had 8 boys out of 12 people. You get your certificate after completing your 6-month-probation. Few peple didn't make it but the majority was successful.
There won't be new A380s coming in the first half of next year. However, they keep hiring I was told. Many new 777s are coming next year and a couple of A380s in the second half of 2011.
Promotional opportunities seem to be quicker on the A380. That's one of the reasons for the people to convert from the Main fleet. The other reason: 0-2 turnarounds a month and Jeddah is an afternoon flight, quite easy.
Good luck with the training!

Open days
Hello,
I have a question. It's the first time I'm applying to Emirates so I don't know well how it works. Some time ago I sent my application online and, following advice on this forum, I put a UK address because I didn't see any upcomming recruitment days where I live and I wanted to attend to an AD/OD soon, anyways I didn't know where I would be living at this time... Later I received an e-mail inviting me to the open day in Newcastle. I was going to buy the flight to go there, but considering that due to my height it's really difficult that they accept me, also I'm not in a good situation as to spend all the money to go there and then back if they call me for the interview... and I saw they'll do an open day in Dusseldorf on Dec.11th, which is very close to where I live now... so I applied online to that OD but so far I got no reply.
As it isn't an AD, just OD, so it would mean that everyone can turn up... do you know if I can just go to Dusseldorf with my CV, photos and all? Or will I miss my chance now if I don't go to Newcastle? Do you have to be invited to go to open days for them?
thank you

Sorry...
I had read it already, and also many other messages in this forum ever since I started to think about being cabin crew. I just wanted to confirm that I can just disregard that e-mail inviting me to Newcastle and go to the Düsseldorf OD. That's because it sounds strange to get invited to an OD instead of an AD, if anyone can go without invitation. I assume that they read my application before inviting me so I would be like one step ahead if I went to Newcastle. But it doesn't work like that in Emirates, right? Now when I log in to the website it says I applied to 2 jobs, and as it says you can only apply once, I started thinking that maybe they don't invite me to the Düsseldorf day because I didn't follow the rules.
And another question is: do they usually change the dates of the OD that are listed on the website? Is it safe to buy the train ticket already for Dec. 11th? I think I saw an OD in Barcelona on the website some weeks ago, and now not anymore.
