NO, I DOUBT IT!
However, I cannot be sure. She can try and she will see. If you want to hear my honest opinion: no Middle-Eastern airline would take her. I'm sorry to say that...
All the best to your friend!

Been awhile since I posted here. Sorry, I think your friend will find they will not take her. Why? Not because she can't use her hand- you said that she can, but the bare fact is, with so many applying why would they take one who has this problem when they can choose others who don't?
Of course, my personal feeling is that I hope her personality & skills shows through, because that is the more important thing; but having lived here now I can tell you that things are not always fair as if we would want them to be.
Perhaps she will get the perfect recruiter on the day who is wiling to give her a chance, but then, it is also up to GCAA to approve the medical checks.
Try Google GCAA and see if you can find anything about it. If it doesn't mention, then go for it

Yay! That sounds awesome! I actually looked it up online and saw they have a pool on the roof, but it makes me happy to know that I get a gym too, plus a nice 2 bedroom apartment. Only 2 more days left!

Hi there, Im currently a university student and a few years from now, Ill be applying for EK (when I reach the minimum age requirement). What things do you think I should prepare for? Currently, I know 3 languages and 1 native dialect. Would that count as an advantage? Also, What else should I be preparing for?

hello Nathan,
My friend rejected the offer last year. Emirates told him, once he rejected the offer, they are not going to take him anymore in the future. You better take the offer Nathan. If you don't want it, then give it to me. Haha

Guess what!
Hi guys!
I had my final interview on Wednesday 13 October 2010 and since then my status on the portal has been 'Under Review'. Today it changed to 'Approval in Progess'! Hopefully I get a GC soon! I'm so excited but don't want to get my hopes up until they call me!
Goodnight

Wow that's a very large number for FI. Your recruiters must have been in a good mood that day! I wish you all the best. Try not to think about how many of you applied, and focus on what YOU need to do to get the job.
Good luck

At the beginning of this year, around 130 candidiates got FI in Korea.
In fainal, the number of people joinning EK was around 50-55.
No worries.
They will select 100% if they are satisfied with every cadidiate.
Focus on your FI and I hope you will grap this chance!!

Good day guys!
Noob here. I want to ask about the recruitment process of EK. Hope you guys know and will share.
1.) Do I need to register and submit CV (application) to EK website? Because my friend told me that EK would never hold an OD, only AD, and they will just invite for AD those who have submitted applications. Hence, on AD, no walk-in applicants are allowed. Is this true?
2.) Is it true that EK will have an AD in the Philippines in January 2011? ...so that we can prepare.
Thankies.

still waiting
Hi Everyone
I am from Sydney and my DOJ is the 29th of November. I uploaded all my medicals a while ago but still havn't heard back with my final approval. I have sent multiple emails but no reply I might try and call them.
Has anyone else had problems or has the same DOJ but is still waiting for approval? I am very worried
also is the DOJ the day we are supposed to leave our country or the day we need to be in Dubai? If anyone has answers that would be a big help

Hi Ele87,
My DOJ is also on 29th November and I'm still waiting for my medicals to be approved. I've uploaded them more than a month ago. Two weeks ago I received an email saying my medicals are overdue. I emailed to explain that everything has been done and waiting for approval, HR replied and asked me to ignore the overdue notification and will revert at the earliest. I guess it's just waiting now. I emailed again last week to ask if HR can review my medicals asap as I need to allow sufficient time for resignation from my current job. Still no response.
Oh and DOJ is the day you check in from your country to leave for Dubai.
Hope my reply helps. Let me know when you get your meds approved. We just got to hang in there for now
