Well.. I think we better take it easy cos the wait could last a bit more.. no panic! I was told about the 6 weeks period! Both recruiters were very kind with me.. C'mon, we'll both get this job if we really want it! We might meet in Dubai and attend the same training course! 
Maybe I was too optimist this time!

My final interview was on november 26th. I said that january would have been fine for me even though one of them asked me if I was able to join immediately, even before christmas.. She said: be honest, would you mind if we make you leave for christmas or new year's eve? I just said "well.. I don't know.. bla bla", then she said ok, I'll write january. That's it!

Don't stress out guys. Tomorrow starts the weekend in Dubai, then there is the 1st of January Sunday which is another holiday. So before January 2, no GCs. I supppose.
And their working hours are from 9-3.30 , with the time difference they close more or less at 12. I guess, there is no possibility to get a call afternoon/evening.
Most probably early in the a.m, when your asleep.

Hello, I have a little problem concerning my medicals, I've sent them 2 weeks ago, but they still don't approve them. The problem is that I had an eye surgery when I was 2 years old, and they asked me the reason of this surgery. I didn't wanted to lie them so that's the reason I didn't hide it.When I was a child I wore glasses and I had hyperopia, but thanks to this surgery I don't wear glasses anymore, I don't even have a scar or other problems, but still I'm worried if they will approve this...So any guesses?

Hi seja, do you know what the policy is regarding cosmetic surgeries? There has been a few posts here but still seems little unclear. I have had rhinoplasty and liposuction and am wondering whether this will impact me with my meds? Thanks for help :-)

Hey there, to be honest I don't know! It usually is no problem, I know many girls with breast implants, nosejobs etc in the company. I am sure the lipo-thingy is no problem but I don't know what the other one you've mentionned is? They usually want to know everything about your medical background to cover you for all possible scenarios, and also some things might be a problem of you are flying often (for instance, why they want your teeth x-ray: bad quality tooth surgery for instance may cause a barotrauma in your tooth, which is extremely painful and in extreme cases may make your tooth burst in your mouth-that is a very bad example and happens in one of one billion cases but it still may happen). Hope I didn't confuse you!
Agree with Seja, the main pros would be:
1. Great chance to travel & see new things
2. Nice aircraft, lots of facilities, good resources for the customers
3. Almost everything provided- house, transport, uniform, cleaning, doctor, so no real worries for bills
Main cons:
1. Schedules can be draining on the body/soul- be sure to take 'time out' when you can
2. Inconsistency between seniors/sometimes managers- what one says do, another says don't. Can be frustrating but I notice this seems to be getting better. Just a hazard of so many cultures working together I guess.
3. And the worst- customers. They can be VERY demanding. Yes they expect a lot as Emirates have a good reputation- butt here are a minority of them that you just CANNOT please. They think they should get First Class service even when they have not paid for it. They will shout at you, they will call you stupid, they will ask for 'complaint form', they sometimes make you go to the lavtory and cry so no one sees you- BUT-
THE NICE ONES WILL MAKE UP FOR THIS!!! In most cases those eman ones would not be pleased with anything you do, so save your energies and worries for the rest, and don't let the mean ones ruin you for the other passengers. They can't help it if the other one is rude to you. So, be nice to them.
You can go home and rage at the mirror all you want after the flight
You will have bad days, but there are plenty more good ones. Just please pelase take advice from the crew who are already there, even if you don't agree with it don't be diffiuclt. Remember that you wanted this job. I have flown with far too many altely with bad bad attitudes, in only their first or second month. I don't want to be around them and I'm sure the passengers don't either. If you are going to be one of these people, don't come. Let someone who wants to be there take your place.
If you are happy to come do the job, then great. Welcome. If you hate it, I'm not saying this in a eman way but after 6 months if it's not for you, then go. Nothing worse than miserable crew. They just make everyone else the same.

second time lucky!
Thanks for the great advice guys. Just wanted to say that in January I was unsuccessful after making it to the FI, and had to wait 5 weeks for the rejection email. Was devastating. Anyway, I tried again on the 19 Dec. I made it to the FI again which was on the 20 Dec. On the 27th Dec my status changed to approval in progress, on the 28th Dec it locked me out and said in red you will be contacted by ......... I just wanted to tell those who are unsuccessful not to give up hope. Keep at it, if its your dream!!
Good luck to all waiting for the beloved golden call, I'm hoping they phone us all this year

Guys, I am 100% sure that things will start movin really fast right after the new year's. If they do not call you guys the first week of 2012 then I would start to worry, but for now it is all good.
Remember that some of the people working at HR, are on leave, some of them went back home to celebrate Xmas and all that, even though there is no official christmas days in Dubai whatsoever.

In the 6 weeks did you get the tattoo form and see your status change ? Or did they just call out of the blue after 6 weeks ?
I think maybe the reason that you are having trouble is that you haven't uploaded the resignation document , I think I saw some similar situation on this or another forum earlier .
Leave them a voice mail and an email . Try to relax for the next few days anyways .
Good luck xx
