PLEASE HELP
 

Hello y'all!!

So less than a Year! but hehe only 1 month until january!! :ugh: So would you recommend to go to this next open day or should i wait one more month?

Thank you very much!!

Do you mean you failed the FI ? Or you passed and didn't accept the offer ? If I were you I'd not go until exactly 1 year has passed ! They make a clear specification to wait 12 months - even if you make it to the FI they will find out when you up load your C.V etc . Imagine if this went against you and you had to wait longer ? I am sure they will be coming to do an OD near you soon , perhaps email them ( i am not sure if they will reply ) or wait until you see when they are doing OD's in 2013 . I am in the same boat as you , waiting a year , fingers crossed for us both ! Did you even try to apply on the Emirates career page ? As it may still be blocked from applying .

Lovelymeeh09 - I don't think it's true that they hire people who are silent . I think they are watching your communication and team work skills . So i's say to be balanced , always listen and allow others to speak. Of coarse you will need to speak and contribute but don't be loud and domineering as its true , these people always do get eliminated .

Miss F - No news is good news so keep your hopes up , but in saying that ....... After attending my FI - most people in my group heard within 2 weeks and me , my rejection mail came at 5 .5 weeks later . Take what I say with a grain of sale though as there is still hope .

If there will be open days in 2013, when do you think Emirates will release the dates?

They start releasing new dates every end of the month so in the next few days they might put up the ODs and ADs programmed for January '13, I guess.

Regarding emirates cabin crew OD in 2013
 

Emirates has huge expansion programs in the coming years and according to the HR , they apparently need 16,000 crew in the next 4 to 5 years.
Yes you read that right, SIXTEEN THOUSAND CREW in the next four to five years...

so if you haven't made it yet you still do stand a lot of chances in the coming years..

Don't get disheartened if it didn't work out the first time.. you still got a couple of chances more !!!

See you in emirates !!!

Emirates HR said this to you?

They have been hiring 3500-4000 cabin crew a year anyway so this figure is standard.

Yep those are the figures we keep hearing.

Not surprising with all the aircrafts that have been ordered and keep coming every week!

When there is a will, there is a way?
 

Hi! I am Soo Yeak. Working on an airplane is always my dream since I was young. Frankly, I want to be a pilot/cabin crew badly. Unfortunately, I am a red-green colour-blind. Most of the airlines don't even consider a colour-blind applicant. :ugh:

Previously, someone in the education fair told me that there was a colour-blind succeeded in the Tiger Airway's cabin crew interview. I really hope this is a fact and not a false hope to me. I don't mind working in any small or low-cost airline. Can I still be a pilot/cabin crew?

Please kindly give me some advice or guidance. I would appreciate your precious reply very much.

Thank you. :ok:

This is from Annex IV, known as Part MED and contains the Implementing Rules (IRs) for medical certification.

MED.B.075 (c) In the case of Class 1 medical certificates, applicants shall have normal perception of colours or be colour safe. Applicants who fail further colour perception testing shall be assessed as unfit. Applicants for a Class 1 medical certificate shall be referred to the licensing authority.

‘Colour safe’ means the ability of an applicant to readily distinguish the colours used in air navigation and correctly identify aviation coloured lights,

Unable to attend assessment day
 

Hi :)

I was unable to attend my assessment day in london today, does any one know how I should go about going to another one? Do I reapply to a different one online, and do I need to wait 6/12 months, or just apply to any?

Thank you :)

Soo Yeak,

ou could approach either the airline medical department, or the civil aviation body in the country of the airline you are applying to, and ask if it is permissible to take a lantern test for colour vision, rather than Ishihara plates (coloured dot picture) test. In many countries a pilot applicant failing this test is permitted to take the lantern test and many pass this one.

Best to do would be to approach an opthalmologist to determine your level of visual acuity and colour blindness (if you have not already) and see where you sit on the scale when compared to the minimum acceptable for each airline.

Some are stricter than others depending on the overseeing government body.

Good luck.

hi!
 

There is assessment day in Zagreb, Croatia on saturday and I was wondering, do you have to apply online before showing up there? There is an application form on their website for cabine crew and it has few steps like introduction, why you want to work for them etc...I'm sure you know.

So, is that necessary or...? Thank you!

You must apply to get an invitation if it is an assessment, but you dont need to do it for an open day.

Hey everyone.
I'm attending the open day in NYC on December 1st.
I would like to think I'm qualified for the position; I have customer service experience, I speak a few languages, ect. I'm a decent looking guy but I'm a bit chubby. I've been working on getting my BMI down to normal but I still have about 5-7 kilos to go. How strict are they on this? Certainly won't know my BMI until I get my medical test which would be way after the FI (assuming that I made it that far). Does anyone know anything about how strict they really are?
haha I know it's a silly question but I'm regardless a bit concerned.
Thanks for any feedback.

Advice from emirates cabin crew
 

Chatter - Banned

Can anyone shine some light on why Emirates has not returned to certain countries since 2011 and their open day dates for December does not have these countries listed? Its a strange thing as I know they usually come to my country ATLEAST once a year but 2012, a no show. What's going on?

@ Soo Yeak.

It's highly unfortunate that your red/green c.b. unfortunately in aviation colour is quite a big thing. For cabin crew for example the MCL indicator lights are all based on colours e.g. Red for cockpit
For Flight Deck a lot of the displays are colour oriented for ease.

Don't give up on what you want to do, as said before "if there is a will there is a way. Maybe you wouldn't be able to fly commercially but perhaps flight instruction for example or so on and so forth. I'd recommend contacting an AME for better clarification.

All the best :)

@ Jewel - saturation of nationalities would be my guess.
