Under review
Hi everybody,
What does it mean, when your status, 3 weeks after your FI, is still "Under Review" ? Does it mean you have been unsuccessfull ?
I don't know if I still can hope....

OD in Ottawa
Hello Everyone,
I'm brand new here, and really appreciate all the great information people have been posting.
I've registered for the OD in Ottawa on the 22nd of March. However, It still says "to be advised". Has anyone on here also registered for this OD.
Or, does anyone know if they have a habit of cancelling OD with low registrations.

from what i heard ,yes ! the interview from malaysia was too crowded with peoples half of Malaysia airlines and Low cost airlines( air asia) came. It was crazy. and they only took for guys for assessment. I didn't interview in malaysia.
I did my FI elsewhere. But in malaysia there's languages requirement. you either need to know, Malay,mandarin,cantonese,or vietname. then u can apply.

Proof of Education
Just attended the OD, AD, and the FI in New York.
For people who have gotten to or passed ther FI stage, did any of you not have your highschool diploma or college transcripts with you? Where did you send them? I was told I may not need to find my high school diploma if I have college transcripts, but the transcripts don't show much information since I only recently started school again. Please let me know.
And when it says 2 casual photos, would they like 2 different casual photos, since for the passport photos they only cared if you had 6 of the same type.
Thanks for your help!

dependants
Hiya to everyone!
while completing the joiner's form on the portal i got to the dependants part.
there is a category 'others', where you have the option to put a friend, cousin, niece, aunt, uncle....
Is this due to preselecting persons so they could get discount on tickets later on or i got it all wrong?!
i ve searched forums, talked to some people, and every one says different or isn't sure
is there someone who knows it for sure?!
I would be very thankful !
p.s. congratulations to those who received rhe call, and patience to those still waiting....
(heh that reminds me of the saying : ' Dear Lord, give me patience... and give it to me right now'
)

SF Open Day
Hi mich89! Just yesterday I saw an ad about the OD in SF, and I really want to attend. Today I registered and am starting the online application. I'm totally new to all this-- I've never worked with an airline, never interviewed to be a flight attendant, nothing! This whole process sounds pretty intense, and I think my chances are slim...
I have a stupid, but important question before I continue the application: Do we actually need to be fluent in Arabic? Do you know if they're going to give us an Arabic language exam?
Thanks for any info!

Hello and welcome.
I am new to this as well. I have never worked for an airline before either. I am nervous about attending the OD, but my trust is in God. All will be great. I got introduced to apply for Emirates thru a dear friend. I am glad your applying and dont be nervous we all have a great chance at this. I applied on the Emirates website like on a Monday and I received an invite that Saturday. It was so quick. so hurry and submit that appllication so you can receive an invite and maybe we can attend the OD the same day.
About having to know Arabic, I honestly have no clue. I recall reading on the job description that they require english and if you know another language its great. but i believe english is only required.
I wish you the best of luck and keep me posted if you recieve an invite. If all fails you can still make it to the last OD I believe in Seattle. So hurry and get an invite. Best of luck again. Hope i was able to help answer some of your quesitons.

Hi! No worries! ^^ I don't see your message anywhere though...I think they all have to appear publicly? The main thing I'm wondering is whether we have to speak arabic-- seems crazy but I actually did see that requirement on their site! Have u worked as a flight attendant before?

Hello Faaris,
I went to the OD in Paris which was as expected crowded!
I think we were about 300 candidates coming from the US, Poland, Korea, Uk and for the most France.
We had two female recruiters, a blonde from the Uk and an Australian I think her name was Ashley.
So they introduced the company and the job, showed us some videos and as we were obviously too numerous to start the Assessment the same day they suggested to meet them one by one and hand our resume and pictures for the screening.
The last Emirates OD i went to was only a cv drop off (1 minute with the candidate) today it was a screening. Everybody did the reach test and every candidates stayed between 3 to 5 minutes answering questions so it was quite long.
I expected it to be very fast but it lasted a major part of the day, maybe til 4 or 5pm.
My screening was with Ashley and it lasted less than 3 minutes. I'm so disappointed. In comparison with the blonde one she looked pretty severe and cold and the only question she asked me was "Why did you come back for another OD?", I tried my best to answer but I wished she had asked something else ..
I will try another OD in 6 months but if I fail at the same stage again for the third time I will probably give up, maybe I'm not what they're looking for...

Probably over 200 people today at the Toronto Open House.
I didn't get a call. They must judge people by looks only. I have previous Cabin Crew experience and I didn't get an email to go to the AD.
I will never fly Emirates.

I heard the same, I'm attending the Ottawa OD in the next few weeks, I hope to god it turns into as Assessment Day. Was it just a cv drop-off or were you able to be screened? Its all our stupid Canadian Flight Attendant hiring freezes..too many hopefuls too little jobs to go around-don't give up hope!
