Yep...15 days and counting! My departure date isnt until the 27th of October though, so I know why its taking forever. Just like you guys said, I figure I would already know if there was something seriously wrong with me! lol. One of the guys I went through recruitment with sent his results after me and already got sent his contract, he is leaving October 13th, so it will still be a little while longer I imagine! Hope to see you all in Dubai soon!
Good luck to you guys who just left today and are leaving next week! This is going to be a very long month...I am already so ready to leave!
And yeah, I agree. Emirates should definitely try to get the rejections out quicker. Its not fair to make people wait so long like that.

Hey Sabby!!!
BUGGER - is all I can really say! Sorry to hear your news, its sad that you have waited this long to be told that! Chin up mate in a years time you can go for it again and at least next time around you will know every step in the interview process which will defintely be to your advantage!
To all the others who are flying in a couple of days, may you all have a safe journey to Dubai and with the free internet access you will receive in Dubai all of you guys will have no excuse for not keeping in touch...LOL!!!!
Take care

Hey Wwilko,
Regarding passing your exams, from what I was told at the interviews the first time you sit an exam you must pass with 80%, if not, you get to re-sit the exam, but must pass with 100%...if not then.....It seems you go home
...its pretty standard, similar to the last airline I worked for. Dont worry yourself too much, because although the training is intensive, you should be fine with the examinations....as long as you put in the study required.
Goodluck!
Cheers

Hey Wanna fly, Keep your make-up not too heavy, but enough to notice that you have some on. I used earthy tones on my eyes, (so yes, deffinately wear some eye-shadow) and they love to see a red or brown lipstick on your pucker (since this is a uniform requirment)
Keep your grooming extreemly neat (hair completely back with no fly-away bits or falling on your face) and make sure your nails are well manicured (either clear, french or very light pink polish) but most of all, remember to keep a big smile on your face at all times
Best of luck!
Cheers

Wanna fly...Another point that you may find helpful regarding the interview is not to worry too much about the answers you give during the group sessions, rather focus more on the way you present and deliver your answers....in a friendly and respectful manner. Also make sure you praise others in your group if you think appropriate. Keep in mind that they are looking for "Team Players"
Goodluck

magestic hotel
Hi all, mother hen here,
as popins as said, it looks like new crew are still in hotel, it happens to be the same one as my daughter! She did say the other day, didn't think accommodation was ready! She also said exams are getting more intense with so much to cram in,and they want you to be perfect everyday! She said they are always watching you during training, every minute, taking notes and writing about you. Hopefully all good!
Anyway, take care everyone, best wishes,
mother hen.

Accomadation
Hi, Popins and Mother hen...
Pitty..I was really hoping that EK has started to settle the joiners in the new accomadations, instead of hotels...Since I'm leaving next week, I guess I will stay in a hotel.

Hi,
They are still building accom for crew on Sheike Zayed Rd...the main rd in Dubai. When this is ready then they are going to move all the crew into this one building so It will still probably be a while. But hey I would take advantage of getting your room cleaned and bed made for you everyday!!!
In regards to the training if you study you will pass. You have to get about 80%. If you fail you can choose to repeat the week or re-sit straight away or the next day. The next exam you have to get either 85% or 90% can't remember..then you have one more chance but you have to get 100%.
There is a lot to take in especially if you haven't flow before but most of the exams are multiple choice so you just have to make sure you read the questions properly. Learning equipment locations is a bit to take in as you have to remember where each piece of eqipment is located and each aircraft type is different.
No one in my batch failed but we did have two people join our group because they had failed but the were going out drinking heaps and not studying.
Hope this helps

Accomodation/ Tests
Hi Guys
Had more than 100 hours flying this month so hardly been at home!!!
Well as for accomodation there are some apartments in Jumeirah and by Mall of Emirates almost ready, 2 Buildings in Sheikh Zayed to be ready by the end of the year. Not all new joiners are going in Hotels and my friend just joined and let her stay in my apartment as she was put in a hotel and there were another 2 joiners with her that had apartments straight away... this was this morning.
With regards to the exams just put off shopping and touring dubai for a bit and concentrate on studying if your english is good as in understanding what's being explained in classes and study everyday you should pass. The only crew that failed in my batch were the ones that had trouble understanding english and had to repeat the week but they felt more confident once they started flying. Also with the safety and emergency procedures you have to make sure you're confident and not shy as they need to see that you can be able to take the lead in an emergency.
With regards to drinking ... ramadan just started so won't be able to party much and anyone coming anytime soon please remeber to dress modestly no short skirts or sleevless tops, no smoking, drinking (even water) or chewing gum in public from sunrise to sunset as the locals expect respect during their holy month... even if you're not muslim.
Don't panic for the training the trainers are great they will give you their rules and if you follow them you won't have any problems. They are very nice and helpful and they're not trying to fail you over nothing but they want you to be confident once you start flying. Take it step by step and you'll manage... Just work hard for 6 weeks it will pay off ... you'll have your graduation day before you know it!!!

Thanks Letsfly for clearing up the information about the examination process..I stand corrected as its 3 shots you get at the exams rather than 2.
Excellent.....guess there really is no excuses what-so-ever not to pass!
Cheers

My Post ??
Seems like my post about the crew staying in the hotel has been deleted by the Mods. I had no idea that mentioning the hotel name is not allowed on this forum.

Hey MTAN065
Good to hear from you too, it was a little hard to keep in contact after the last forum got closed down, but here we are again.
I am supposedly meant to be flying 10th November but I am trying to psuh it back as late as possible, as there are few things I have to tie up here before I fly, so the latter the better definitely!!!
I will defintely make sure to meet you in Dubai if I get through keep in touch and let me know when you get the all clear from Emirates I am sure it wont be long a wait for your reply as your flying day is drawing near!
Keep in touch
