Thank you Sam...I noticed the inactive link of e-ticket and visa, and the active other links. But you are right I should have read once again the email before I asked this question.
But what about the induction training in progress status? Do you know something about this?
I appreciate your time!
To perkin...one of my friends has DOJ 14 February...can you give me the FB address of the guy that posted what you last wrote?
Good luck!!

Hi again,
I think it's just in progress because we are supposed to be in the progress of completing the workbook. I don't know that's all I can think of haha.
I just re-read my last message and it sounds so rude! Sorry, I definitely didn't mean for it to sound like that!

Hi,
Great to hear all is well in Dubai and with your training. Just a quick question, when and how did you find out your accommodation details? My medicals have been approved and I've already uploaded my resignation letter.
Thanks,
Sam

It is not as bad as I thought it will be. So I hope you get to enjoy it as well. When is your DOJ?
I think 5 days before my doj if I remember it right.
And I didn't have to deal with the resignation letter so I can't answer that for you.

Don't worry. The truth is that when I am over enthusiastic and eager to know more I sometimes ask silly questions. Thank you for answering me anyhow. And about training induction I am curious why is it in progress, but I guess we will soon find out
Coco
Great to see that someone who recently arrived in Dubai continues to keep us posted. If it is not too much to ask, could you tell us how is your experience so far? How was your arrival there, when was the first day you went to Emirates Hearquarters? How is your accommodation? How are you dealing with all the company regulations? Is the training difficult? What do the medical checks consist of?
If you would take your time to answer at least a few of these questions I would definetly buy you a drink when I will arrive there
Wish you all the best trough trainings!!!

Taking a break from studying so here you go
My experience so far has been really great. I have no complains. Dubai is one of the fastest growing city so there is lots of constructions going on right now but other than that, the malls are big and awesome. Varieties of foods and shops.
When I arrived here, they said we are suppose to see our name in the plasma screen but as for me that did not happen. The marhaba officer said that they might have forgotten it but either way I was helped by the marhaba meet and greet office through immigration, eye scan and collection of my luggage until I got picked up by the car that will take me to my accomodation.
My accomodation is in Government building, Al Hudaiba. I love it and my flatmates are wonderful. When I arrived I was so surprise on how big the place is, for me and for the 3 of use living there.
What do you mean company regulations? They give out some rules during induction week but they are pretty much basic rules for every other company.
7 days: induction week
5 days: first SEP week 1
I am now on my second SEP week
Personally I don't think it is difficult as long as you focus and motivate yourself. I am making the most out of it and enjoying every single minute.
During induction week, we went to the Emirates clinic for the medicals. We did a urine test, vision check, other vaccines you did not have and physical exam by a doctor. For the government medicals, we got our blood taken and chest x-ray.
I'll message you the link to my blog, I've been writing my every day experience there. It is up to you if you want to read it.
And no worries, you don't have to. Wish you all the best

Government bdg is great! Good for you! There are huge singles as well for Seniors (Waiting list for 1-2 years...) Friendly flatmates, a bottle of wine, a nice, cosy living-room and you feel much better after a horrible, stressful night flight! Enjoy!!!!!!

Yes, Linda. My monthly salary as a G2 was exactly 4 times more than the average in my country. (Plus accomodation, transportation, no utilities to pay.) I'm sorry you couldn't work out the amount on your own. Be aware that there is an IQ test and you must read, write and speak English. Are you a princess living in a castle?!

Linda,
i guess if you compare it to other jobs in Australia, the Salary doesn't seem all that appealing.
But I doubt anyone here is doing it for the money, its a lifestyle choice.
Still when you factor in paid accommodation, utilities, provided transport, meals while on duty, as well as all the staff travel benefits, including a free trip home every year.. It all of a sudden seems way more attractive.
And I'm not even including the allowances they provide for layovers (especially for a380 crew this can add up a great deal)
All you're really paying for is food... everything else you earn can be spent on shopping, partying, or whatever you want... All disposable income basically.
A mate I have over there was able to save something like 80% of all his pay the last two years...

Thank you dear. I am enjoying it. And yes yes, the living room is very cozy. Although most of the taxi drivers do not know where the place is. On my 3rd day I got lost. Ahaha! But now I know better. Where are you staying at?

Hi Guys!
I have a couple of questions, and anyone can answer them.
1. I had promised in my earlier post to upload photos of the Nairobi AD that went down early this month. How do I go about doing it?
2. The lady who had gone thru to the Final Interview with my help was requested to provide the recruiters with better photos and deliver them to the hotel as soon as possible. Unfortunately, she had left Nairobi by the time they were calling to tell her this. Would it be OK to scan and send the photos to them via the cabincrewrec adress? Please advise.
I also have a tip for everyone who has reached the Final Interview but didn't get the job. I recently came across a book that contains ALL the interview questions (and tactics) that you might have encountered during your FI. It's called Answering Tough Interview Questions for Dummies. You can get it on the torrentz website, but you'll need to have the bit torrent client in order to download it. I wish I had this book back in April hehe!
Lastly, I wanna wish you all Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas
take care
xx

Goverment Building is consistently spoken about as a best crew building, for the atmosphere and facility as well as apartments. Glad you enjoy it Coco & you realise how nice it is! Lots of crew constantly complain about their accommodations; it's nice to hear some thing positive for once. Feel free to message me the blog too, I have (had) one but sadly have not been updating it as much as I should. Cannot believe how long I have been flying now!!
Kenyan. To do photos on this site, first you need to upload them to a photo sharing site (like Photobucket, FLickr etc). Then make a new post, click the button with the picture of a mountain on it and copy & paste the link for each photo into the post here. Be aware some people if their faces ar eshown might not know you took a photo so best thing would be to only show the faces of people you know, maybe blur the rest out with a photo program. You never know who is attending AD's on the sneaky from their current job
Linda, I worked in AUstralia for awhile. Sure, the pay does not seem like much,. Yes I was making 2 to 3 times the EK basic wage in basic wage at my job in Australia. BUT- here you do not pay rent, electric, most phone, water, gas, whatever. You also get free dry cleaning. AND you do not pay tax!!! So when I add the numbers I come out about the same as I was in Oz, although there I did not have as much opportunities to travel and even with staff tickets it was expensive due to the distance from everything. Dubai is much closer to Europe for travelling around.
As for instructions, be prepared to read carefully and try to work things out. Because you need to have a bit of self reliance in Dubai, no-one holds your hand for very long, even during induction as much as they say they will. When I arrived my name was not on a screen or paper, I had to go looking for the Marhaba people and not sit there like a school child waiting for some body else to come find me. So practising those listening and reading skills will be a good thing to do before arriving!
Samantha, your accommodation details will come up within a week of your DOJ. Accommodation is extremely limited at the moment so it may be they are waiting on people who have resigned to leave before they can assign you a building.
Hope this is helpful.
