***Sleepingbeauty --> Oh my god! We're flying to Dubai on the same date! I am so happy for both of us... like you said, we were so depressed untill few days ago! And then now... look at both of us! I can't stop smiling!
I guess that means we are starting our training soon! How exciting! I know at least one another Japanese girl who is flying to Dubai on the same date as us.
How is your medical examination going? I went to Health Center at my university today, and the earliest appointment I could make was April 24th! So long! But, I'm in the U.S. rite now, and since my school fee covers the insurance, I get to do the all the test for FREE (except for dentals)! Okay, enough about me. Let me know how things are going for you!
And yes, I am going back to Japan after graduation, so I will be flying to Dubai from Kansai! Can't wait for the new experience!!
***mytcrew--> I know how you feel. I was just like that until few days ago. Did you call EK and ask them whether they have your documents? That's what I did. Maybe you should call them just to make sure they have all your important documents arrived in Dubai safely. Meanwhile, do something else to distract yourself. Go shopping, hang out with friends, watch movies (I watched 3 films in a day!), etc. Try to distract yourself from worrying about EK. I was so worried and depressed that I felt like I was going bald! Worring too much is not good for you, mentally and physically. Time will tell! Hang in there!

Hi Everyone,
Im new here too and so excited to have found this site!!!
I have an open day in Perth, Western Australia coming up in a week or so and just wanted to ask a few questions.
They ask about education...I went to High School up until year 11 then left to go to Beauty School (hehe) will they look down on the fact I havent completed High School??
Also, I wear glasses and find contact lenses really drying on my eyes.
Will this lower my chances of getting the job?
I have been saving to get that Lazik eye surgery, maybe I should mention that I will have this done before starting with Emirates (if I get the job, fingers crossed
)
Thanks
Tash

Lilly075...
Read your contract, it says if you don't have your medical results, and other requirements back to them in ten days, that there will be a delay. They give you 2 weeks from the date on your contract to send everything back to them, and you have to accept the offer within one week and complete the online joining form within 2 to 3 days.

Mr.XCNBY33S!
hows your medical? are you done? how much will it cost to have medical check up? ive been inquiring hospitals and clinics and it varies from Y50-80,000 and its just so expensive and its hard to find a doctor who can really speak english! 
lilly075- yes. brisbaneemirates is right. you should complete the medical as soon as possible. its just so hard to look for english speaking doctors here in japan. do you know anyone?
i hope everyone's doing well and good luck with the medical results!
anyway, should we also email the x-ray and original copy of the results, or just send the medical papers from emirates that will be signed by the doctor? a lil confusing.. sorry. please help!
to aspiring applicants- good luck to all of you and i suggest you read the whole thread and you will be enlightened

Hi Everyone
This is my first time on here
I leave on the 18th of may and got my final approval 2 nites ago. Very nervous but also excited.
Is anyone here leaving on that day?
People that i kept intouch with that was in my group has'nt yet received a call to do their medical... does that mean they didnt get through? im very disappointed on their behalf as it is now 7 weeks and they still havent received any call.
The wait for me was a killer as well but it was all worth it, i recomend for people that are waiting for their final approval about their medical is to call them directly, so that way u know they have everything
Congrats to everyone that got through and for those who is still waitng i know its a killer but hang in there youll be fine.
UMZY - is there anything you recomend that would help me with the training?

Hello!
Hi there it's my first time here as well!
I've read through this thread from beginning to now, and it's exciting to see everyone go thru their interviews, whether they succeed or not! I'm in the process of giving Emirates my application, I'm sure I'll be here for some questions!
Thanks all for your time and advice, it's very much appreciated!

sleepingbeauty, brisbaneemirates
Hey guys Yea, I realized that after I read over my contract carefully. I cried to the nurse that I have to have everything in 2 weeks, and she put me in a spot next week. Hope all the results are good!
sleepingbeauty --> Did you try university hospitals? Like those prestigious universities in Tokyo. I'm sure university hospitals got some English-sepaking doctors. Or, maybe you can try by calling embassies of English-speaking country in Tokyo, and ask them if they know any English speaking doctors in Tokyo. Hope everything works out for you...

Hi Cdn F/A!
Yes I'm from Vancouver. Good to see a fella Canadian here! I haven't quite started the application process as I need to get some photos done. Also, I'm not sure if once you start the application can it be saved midway???
As for the assessment day I'm not sure either...I'm almost thinking of flying to one in Dubai sometime in May (for several reasons), I don't really want to wait till one comes around to North America.
Currently just doing my research and very soon I'll be submitting an application. What's your story? Are you an ex FA?

Hi Sparklyeyes,
Yes, you can save the application half-way through- I have been doing it for awhile now...I am presently an FA with a big carrier here in Calgary...I bet you can guess which one! Emirates looks like a fantastic airline to have more of a career with...and an international one at that! I think I may go over to one in London or Manchester...or if I get desperate, Dubai! You never know when there will be one back here in our part of the world! I have excellent inter-lines with carriers all over the world so, it won't be a big deal to get there...Are you an FA? Great to chat to someone who is from here and interested in doing the Emirates thing...many of my FA friends think I'm mad...but seriously, this is my career, I have my University degree and did all that...this is what I want to do! Go big or go home eh??? Oh and Etihad is having an assessment day in Vancouver...I think it's about April 16 and 17...FYI!
Cheers!

Hi Cdn F/A!
So that's good to know, I'll start my application ASAP then!
No I'm not an FA at all, it's funny how how you go thru life fulfilling dreams and goals, and I'm in a position now that I want to fulfill that ULTIMATE dream of mine which is to travel the world AND get paid for it. I stumbled upon Emirates by accident and after further research I absolutely fell in love and now I know this is what I want to do!!! To experience living an international lifestyle is a dream, and Emirates looks like a wonderful airline to fulfill that dream! I've read somewhere in this forum where people compared Emirates and Etihad and it seems Emirates is the favorite by far!

Emirates Medical certificate Emirates
Does anyone who works at Emirates as a Pilot know if Emirates requires an FAA medical to work there *OR* do they have their own "in house" medical doctors certifying you every so often. My question is do you still have to fill out a frickin' FAA Medical form halfway around the world to work there on an ongoing basis all of the time?
