Asthma

Hi everybody

Can anybody tell me if having asthma is a problem? I'm just about to start my medicals for EY and don't want to waste all that money if its a big fat no!!!

Thanks

work conditions

Hi guys,
please tell me a bit of the conditions of the actual work for EY.
-If you request a days off for exaple, do you always get them?
-How many roster requests do you have per month?
-Do you have a lot of roster changes during a month?
-Can you do promotional work for the company? ( Duty travel/promotions), if so, how to apply?

Please share your experiences and thoughts, highly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance
PS If you are willing to share it by e-mail, go ahead: [email protected]

Kash,
Most of the time u get requested days off.
One roster request per month and one swap per month.
U don'thave many roster changes during month. Only if u have standbys your roster can change a lot.
U can do promotional work for the company. U need to be a member of the promotional team. Ask people in HR about details.


Jellie,
depends how bad your asthma is. There is one crew here, she must take Ventolin occasionaly, but she never has asthma attacks.
If u have serious condition, most probably they won't let u fly

Thanks EYtruth, my asthma is very mild and I never have attacks but obviously its in my medical history so I was panicking a little!

Hi guys!!

You can tell the wait is killing me!! it has been 12 days since my final interview. 18/5/07

How long for some did it take to find out??

They have said that it is a 2-3 week wait... arrgghhhhh.................
I had a look on my internet application status and it says that i am Under Review..

Would appreciate some feedback!!

[epstein22]

Hiya, Ive been waiting since 12 May. All Ive received is an email saying management are looking at my details and will get back to me. I know how you feel!! I think they are just SUPER busy at the moment!

[mzdurga]

hey ozziegirl

I guess you can call em up after 2 weeks to enquire which is what i did. The lady who answered advised that i am through management and pending security check and that could take another 2 weeks!! ARGHHH

But i guess if you don;t hear from them within the first week you should have passed management and pending security clearance as well. Good luck

mz durga

thanks so much mzdurga...i am trying to contact ryan but the phone just keep on ringing...no one's answering the phone...i wonder whyhay...i'll just try to call him some other time...tnx again..take care!!!

[Kash]

Thanks for the answers

EYTruth, Thanks so much for replying,
Do you know any details of the promotional work( type, pay etc..)?
CMB as far as I understood is both layover and turnouround, how many hours is the layover and if you are staying in the centre or in airport hotel?
How many hours you stay in NY and in which location?
One more query about roster.Do you usually get "fair mix or layovers and turnarounds" as the recruitment people said during presentation? Whats the story of stanbys, do you get them every month between flights like GF, or do you have a month of reserve like in EK?
Thanks again, best regards, see you soon in EY and happy flying.

to neokay9

hey neokey9, I really understand how awful you feel! but you know what I did? I called them, and told them that my medicals take up to 40 days because of the vaccinations, and this is true, the doc told me that I can get sick if I have all the vaccines at once. So the lady there told me to proceed with my medicals eventhough my sec clearance is not ready yet. So I think you should call them, appologise for disturbing but ask what is going on as we are waiting for so long.
Good luck!

Hi AN 24

Did Etihad then send you the medical forms by email as I beleive they have a list of all the tests to be taken and also forms for your doctor to fill up.

[peachesvalera]

whew!

No more waiting for me! Ryan just phoned me around 2 hours ago that I'm cleared with my medicals and security! He asked me my preferred joining date and I told him I will let him know as soon as possible! I can't decide... I have this big family reunion this july.. about 100 of my relatives are attending.. from all over the world too.. Ryan told me I could join every sunday until july 22.. But I don't want to risk it! Whoa!

For those who are still waiting... hang on.. I'm sure Ryan will give you a call soon!
