Two blocks of 48 hours in Brisbane sounds good, just a bit curious:
- What layovers are involved for the SYD/MEL flights (non-stop and via BKK/SIN respectively)? Do any flights involve layovers in NZ (or was I wrong in interpreting shuttle as a there-and-back in a day service?).
- Are European services just 24 hours? Do shorter flights like ATH, LCA involve layovers too? How long are JFK layovers usually?
Just really curious as many other airlines AU layovers are more along the lines of 30 hours, so this sounds good.

For Sydney flights, one takes the pattern of DXB-SYD-CHC-SYD-DXB with each outstation having a layover of 24 hours. It's always packed via SYD-DXB and vice versa, but rarely packed via CHC. Plus it's on a spiffy aircraft with crew rest bunks. Sometimes if you finish service quick enough you can get 5 hours of horizontal rest on the DXB-SYD route which makes all the difference.
The DXB-BKK-SYD-AKL pattern I've never done, but my understanding is that it the SYD-AKL-SYD is a shuttle. There's definately 24 hours in BKK but I don't know if there is 24 or 48 hours rest in SYD to be honest.
For Melbourne flights, the DXB-MEL-AKL-MEL-DXB pattern works in the same way as the SYD-CHC flight - 24 hours rest at each station and you have the crew bunks.
However, the only other MEL flight is DXB-SIN-MEL-SIN-DXB where you get 24 hours in SIN but only 17 hours in Melbourne! Hopefully they'll extend the rest soon, but it's been operating that way for a while and there's been no mention of a change.
For European flights, they usually involve a 24 hour layover, but there are some nice ones, such as a 2 day Malta and a 4 day Milan. Destinations need to have a flight time of greater than 4.5 hours for there to be a layover, so we stay 24 hours in Athens but don't stay in Lanarca.
Also, JFK is a funny one and confuses many crew when they fly over. To work the JFK flights (and any other US destination that EK will start up in the future), you must apply for a US Visa. You apply for the visa with EK, and it's up to EK as to who applies or not. Even if you have a US passport you still apply for the visa, it's a special crew visa. If you're a German speaker, you MUST apply for it, as there is a JFK route via Hamburg. Most layovers are around 24-48 hours, there are over 2 flights a day there.
Before, EK invited crew to apply for the visa, but more recently they're getting whole abinitios to apply during training college.
Hope that helps :-)

SASS Atlantic
Guys, I was just wondering after reading the many, many posts here about open days: are those open days conducted by 3rd parties similar to the ones conducted by EK? For instance, Ive read advices about how dressing in business suits and reaching the location wayyyy earlier is a must. but in a separate forum ive read, the open days held in malaysia/ singapore are a little bit more casual where there were some who turned up hours later (like a walk-in) and in slightly casual attire... and still got through! i wont take the chance of course, but I was just wondering if the selection/elimination process (or criteria) differs between SASS and EK. Anyone?

Hey chocolatBabe, you can definately turn up at the open day, i did (in Melbourne) and now awaiting confirmation on my start date! (looking like the 20th of this month) Although not essential, but if you can remember to take with you the reference number they give you when you submit your online application to the interviews as they do ask for it (and probably looks better on your behalf that you have taken the time to finn-in the online application)
Best of luck with it all and if you need any help/advise everyone on this thread is extreemly welcoming
Best of luck!
Cheers

Hey ChocolatBabe, I strongly advise against doing anything casually when it comes to these interviews if you really want this position. Always give 110% and this will shine through on the day. Im not too sure what the interviews were like in Singapore etc, but in Mel they were extreemly professional. Have a good read of the anything to do with emirates thread (as shown by geetha) and best of luck!
Cheers

Casablanca, if it is an open day, even if you got an invite to the interview or no, u should go!
Sandram, about the molar, if they dont see it, that's ok, but i think ur dentist has to fill in a form that all of your teeth dont need any work done. So maybe if u get to that final stage ull find out what to do about it, but dont worry about it yet!
To everybody, it's business attire, DO NOT ARRIVE LATE, always have a smile on ur face. Wear make up but dont look like a clown, nails polished.
I went to an open day in buenos aires and at the end u had to hand out your resume to the recruiters, u had like a minute with them... and trust me, u feel like u r being x-rayed, so they will be looking at ur nails! Maybe im too paranoid, but in that minute that's what they have to do! And from 250 people, only 50 made it to the next round and let me tell you, only the "well-groomed" passed the 1st screening.
They will show you a video of emirates and then u can ask questions, this would be nice to get yourself noticed. Try to ask sth smart though.
The rest is up to you and up to them!
Good luck!!

SANDRAMM - I there I have just completed all my medicals and submitted all completed documents for final approval, I am now awaiting their reply.
In regards to your question re:Teeth, as part of your final medicals a dental check is to be undertaken. Emirates will forward you a sheet which needs to be taken to your dentist and filled out, confirming weather you have fillings, crowns any dental work, its just standard procedure and it isnt going to make a difference weather you have a tooth or two missing in the back of your mouth....so I would worry about you will be fine

hello everyone.. i'am based here in the philippines and I'm scheduled for EK assesment this coming Oct 21. I received an e-mail from the agency who's handling the applicants for jobs abroad with Word Docoment attachment telling all the details such as the things I need to bring and what to expect in the coming assesment. It is said in the Word Doc that I could wear a skintone stocking or none. I just want to ask if I wear stockings do they check the legs during the screenings that they will still ask me to remove it? thanks a lot..
