to all
hey, i have a question.
After receiving the medical approval, Does it mean it is 100% confirmed we get the job?
Their email was very brief, just saying medical received and approved. nothing mentioning about eticket or visa?
thanks

What a surprise!
I attented final interview the first week in June. I didn't have my photos and doc.s prepared so had to post them later. I emailed them last week to confirm that they recieved the stuff. The day after, I was fiddling with my phone and saw I missed call from Dubai. I was sure that when I phoned back they were going to say "No, sorry, we haven't received your stuff", but whahay!!!!!!!! They said my file had sucessfully made it though final decision and they'd be sending the contracts and medical stuff next week. I can't believe it. 
They gave me a date of 5 October. Anyone else got this date?

You guys have it easy. Waiting only a few weeks to know if you have been hired or not. When I applied 7.5 years ago I had to wait 4 months! My interview was in December and they called my in April on Easter weekend. 2-4 weeks is a very short wait. Still cannot believe I have been here 7 years. Time flies so quickly.
Good luck with your applications. I know you must feel very excited and a bit scared. If you do not get it,try again. One of my friends applied 8 times before they hired her. She quit last year and went to work for a private airline for more money. I will probably stay here until they kick me out because of old age!
Emirates is a good airline but it's not for everyone. It can be quite tough here.....I see so many new crew resign every month because they cant handle the pressure. It is a very physically challenging job. Be very sure that you want this before you apply. Anyways, good luck to all of you.

obscure EK questions...
Hello again! I am getting very excited awaiting hearing either way about the result of the final interview... so much so that i had a DREAM last night that I was living in Dubai! Think it is playing on my mind a bit!!
I know this may be an obscure request, but does anyone have any photographs of the sort of accommodation that cabin crew stay in, in Dubai?
Also one more question - are crew able to do any part time work in the UAE (legally), for example, English tutoring? I am also a qualifed primary teacher, so thought I could do some tutoring to get my 'kid fix' and earn some extra cash.
Cheers,
SHFG

Jessmin,
I have finally recieved the email with the contract and medical forms. Everything will be scanned and sent to HR tomorrow.
I have also completed the on-line joiners forms. Did you get a confirmation email or something once you submited? Cause I didnt. However, when I tried to log on again it said my details had been updated already. I was a little bit confused with the name fields though (name as in passport, ID card name and prefered name). Is your "prefered name" the one that will appear in your name badge? The reason I am asking is cause you know I go by my middle name.
Have you heard back from them yet (besides that medical approval email you already recieved)?

Anyone else joining EK on sep 14th? I can hardly wait!

Flyrules - woo hoo bring on Sept 14!!
What date did you tell them you were available to start?? Immediately? Or did they ask you to start on the earliest date you said you were available?
I told them I could start on 26th September, however, it would be MUCH easier for my study schedule to start a little later (say, end of October).
So I am doing the figures... if your interview date was early June, and your start date is mid September, that is a 2.5 month time frame, from git to go.
Do you think if I changed my start availability now that they would be stroppy?
Once again, I haven't GOT the job yet, SHFG getting ahead of herself once again!!!
Better stop it or might jinx myself!

SFHG,
Thank you! My final interview was may 31st and I actually told them I was available immediately. They didnt give me dates to choose from when I recieved the call. However, in the email I recieved with the contract and medicals they said the starting given date could be changed at anytime to an earlier day if required by EK.
I think if you talk to your recruitment officer and explain your situation, they will understand. Also, in the contract says that the job offer is valid for 6 months after the email is recieved. In my case and if needed, I could join EK until december/07.
By the way, there`s nothing wrong with getting ahead of yourself, I reckon we all had at some point!

212cm
It`s so strange and it makes me mad – I am stretching and stretching and stretching, but I DON`T manage to reach the 212cm-mark. I am 160cm and I always read about smaller girls who have no problems reaching the required mark. Aarrgggh! Is there any hope or is ist senseless to apply?

Questions and questions
ya, I agree with Jessmin. The email was very brief. They just stated medical report received and approved..
I guess the eticket and visa would send to us in coming weeks ya?
email or fax?
By the way, can anyone share how's the 5 weeks training in Dubai like?
For the swimming part, do they require certain type of style? Coz I only know breakstroke and thought they might need us to swim freestye...
any malaysian will depart by 10 Aug?
Thank you.

Changing Start Dates ...
EK are great about changing start dates, they have been very accommodating in my situation.
I was originally supposed to start in May but rang up about a month before hand and asked to postpone it. The recruitment officers were very helpful and i was able to take the full six months between final interview and start date.
So i know have only 3 weeks till i leave OZ and my airline and start with EK in DXB. Let's hope that i have make the right decision.....

Gone U/S - that's awesome. So would you recommend that I go through the medical etc, and then wait for them to offer a start date, before I bring it up?
How much did you alter it by, from your original start date? I originally said I would be available from September 26, but now am thinking October 31.

Pending Docs
I've sent my school documents 15 days after the final interview. I had to request for it in my school and it usually takes that long to process. Dunno if its a good thing for them or if its quite late. 
The recruiter said theres a deadline for pending docs and its 2 months. So i guess its still ok

drop out?
hi!
i just ask myself how the emirates cabin crew drop out rate looks like? how many flight attendants quit their job within the first few months – or even already during the training which is said to be tough.
thanks a lot!

Oooh ooooh ooooh!
Hellllooohaaa
I had a missed call today from the UAE!!! Only 2 weeks after the final interview.... do you think that's a good sign? Would it be RE: reference checks do you think?
Just hope they call me back soon, the suspense is killing me!

A call from Emirates.... BNE
Hey SkyHighFlyGal
I did my final interview on June 27 in BNE and got a phone call from Emirates yesterday as well... they were asking for me to send in more photos.. one more casual (even though i previously submitted four) and for me to take my formal Suit photo again as they wanted my jacket to be more fitted at the waist with no wrinkles. So i quickly express posted those today and the woman who called me said that after receiving the photographs i should be hearing from them in 10 days.. So fingers crossed that is a good sign for me! I want the job so badly!! Ive applied four times already and have been studying and working hard the past 3 years to prepare myself for the role..
Don't know if you remember me, but i was the one that was given an unsucessful letter after the group scenario discussion then when i was about to hop into my car and burst into tears, Chelsea the recruitment officer came running out and told me she gave me the wrong letter and for me to stay!!! That day was such an emotional rollercoaster!!
Well good luck to everyone who are still waiting for the results and Congrats to those who got a 'Yes'!
