Thank you!

Vaccinations
 

Hi,

if I were you I would try to get as many done in Australia as you can (or at least, what you can get for free/refunded using Medicare)

If you get them done here, they will charge you and you will not have much money AT ALL in the first salary after the advance. The first salary you get is quite low (even though you get the advance you need to save it over a month or two) and if you try get nearly all done in your own country they usually don't charge for one or two

(I missed yellow fever as it was about $80 aus and couldn't get an appointment at the travel clinic but EK gave it to me for free as I did everything else.)

Up to you but you'll be poor enough the first few months without deductions for vaccines.

You don't need to upload the documents separately! You can upload the same page for each test, even hemoglobin count. It worked for me, they accepted it.

Miyako and Lisa22
 

Miyako and Lisa 22,

well for a friend it didnt work that way, they asked for one report in each separate paper. Anyway get used to it, they will accept something from someone but not the same thing for someone else. It happens here too...
A LOT.
good luck miyako

People joining on the nov 29th
 

Did somebody already heard something about the medical docs? I tried to pressure a little with a query explaining I need 30 days to resign from my current job but I´m still waiting:ooh:... Please let me know when you hear something!

Lisa22 & Purelife
 

Thank you for the info!
both of you are right!
one of the guys i know said that he had to upload them seperately!
i asked EK also and they said i can upload the report which contains the three tests one time only!

My join date is the 29th of November i also need 1 months notice and its getting pretty close to that cut off, I emailed them and got a reply the same as all the other replies over the last 2 months "someone will revert to you at the earliest" let me know if you hear anything.

Thanks so much for your info! I'm going to try and do as many as I can here! And I found a travel clinic too which is great!

Love your blog by the way, keep writing!

Medical Form

Can someone who has received a Medical Form in the last 3 months please forward it to me? I have a copy of one but I think it's quite old.

Please PM me for my email address.

Many thanks!

Sam :)

hi guys, goodluck to all of you

medical forms
 

Hi girls,
who need medical forms please e-mail me at [email protected], i will send it to you :O

hi guys

im really considering going to the next open day near me (i decided last minute not to attend the vienna one that was on the 23rd because i wasn't feeling 100% ready). so im doing all the research i can possibly find online, and i stumbled upon a blog where the girl is talking about developing really dark veins on the back of her legs, even though she's only been flying for a very short time!! so this freaked me out of trombosis, blood clots and all that, plus im taking pills. so i was wondering if any of you know more about this? can you take while being a flight attendant?? i'd figure it increases the risk significantly. thanks guys :)

Hi everybody,

I've recently attended an OD and to my surprise I wasn't shortlisted. I was convinced I have what it takes but unfortunately I have messed up somehow. :ugh:The positive side is that I can work on myself and try again in 6 months. I've been pondering over all thing so much, grooming, behaviour, even my personality. :confused:Honestly, I realised how much I want it.
I work for low-cost airline. Do you know anybody who's been taken who'd worked for a low cost. (maybe a silly question but..)
Also, do you actually know any people who reapplied after six months and actually got the job?
And then, it's perhaps just a rumour but even though the web site says the minimum education requirement is a high school, emirates prefer university ?
Any replies will be much appreciated because it will give some relief to my poor nerves..Thanks;)

PS: All the best to those who got the job !!!

Hi!
Well I also got that answer. Anxiety is killing me!!!:)
At least I found a difference in my portal:
In the medical docs I am not able anymore to remove items like I could one week ago( only view them ), maybe it means they are already checking them... Did it happen with yours too, ele87?

greetings

A girl has just left easyJet for Emirates - don't worry about working for low cost.

Tereza
 

I don't have an uni degree, and I am flying to Dubai in 5 days to become a flight attendant yeeeyyyyy :-) No worries! You can make it without Uni!

OD Oslo
 

Hey! I wanted to ask if there has been many people attending the OD in Norway?
Does anyone have any information about it? Thinking of attending in November...would it be statistically good place to attend since I have to travel to a foreign country anyways to attend...

Thanks in advance!:)

Anxious !
 

Hey guys!
did not upload my medicals yet! but started to be worried because of what i saw here as people wait so long before they get their medicals approved!!
my DOJ is still Jan 24th but i wanna get them approved quickly so i can quit my current job which i really hate !!

Riri,

google "cabin crew health problems" and stuff like that. I'm sure you will find many useful and 'scary' info.

Flying is VERY VERY VERY unhealthy.

Here is a short list from a ppruner:

Bloating
Hearing problems..tinnitus
Lower back problems
Skin problems..dryness,acne
Eye problems ...tirigeum(spelling?)
Cancers..colon,breast,skin,brain tumours
Cosmic radiation..chromosomal damage
Feet problems..corns
Miscarriages
Fatigue and associted injuries..shoulder,hand neck
Short memory loss
Depression of the immune system
Negative effects on the endocrine cascade
Poor diet and associated problems
Oven burns
Dehydration
Bleeding nose

Veins? Very common problem. A friend of mine (boy) ,who has been flying for 5 years, had 2 operations already.

My biggest problem in Dubai is that I'm losing my hair big time. Everyone... All the girls are complaining about it... I have no idea why, I tried everything but nothing really works...

You will have plenty of spider veins FOR SURE, more and more will appear with time and with age. The painful dark veins will rather affect those who have history in the family. It's genetics: there is NOTHING to do against them. That girl should stop flying immadiately.

Don't worry, some people can do it long term. A lady, Barbara Beckett has just finished her 50th year at American Airlines and she still works...

Good luck with the open days!

TIP:

Guys, I got my life back!

I had constant shoulder and lower back pain. I had these problems for many years since I was a child. (By the way I'm perfectly healthy, there is nothing wrong with my spine or with my muscles according to the doctors. It must be simply the stess, I should't worry that much.) The pain got stronger in the last couple of months due to stess and the heavy containers and flying 120 hours a month...

I just bought MBT shoes. I was wearing them for 1-2 hours a day for 3 days in a row. Imagine: ALL THE PAIN IS GONE! TOTALLY!!! It's just unbelievable! It's good for the veins as well. (I bought sandals for Dubai and closed shoes for the layovers.)

Try them if you don't believe me and you tried everything else...

I feel like another person, honestly. I spread the word now because I feel so different. Better than yoga.

I swim a lot but it's not enough, I should do much more sports. If you are in a good shape (some of the crew are!), you won't have these problems. If you are 'average' like me, there is a good chance that you will experience these problems.

The weight issues are also very common after joining Emirates. That's one of the reasons you will get a bit bigger uniform... Girls and boys, you MUST watch your weight and control yourself.

All the above will be mentioned during your training. It's part of the training programme.

Final approval!
 

It has been such a sweet journey. After uploading the last paperwork for my medicals last tuesday, I got the final approval today and the advise to resign but since I am not working I don't have to worry about that. Praise the Lord!
