Hi, it`s me again – still with the question: how strict are the EK recruiters with the 212cm-arm reach? I am ~160cm, but I cannot reach the mark… - no matter how much I try. Is there anyone out there who can help me? Thanks!

[Flyrules]

Sulkette,

Unfortunatelly, reaching the 212cms mark is one of the first tests you will have to pass in order to continue with the hiring process. The reason is simple: you should be able to reach all storage compartments and emergency equipment on all aircraft.

sulkette!

what i have observed there was they are NOT that strict. we are 9 at the moment waiting for results and there are really short ones amongst them stretch your arms as much as you can and rise up to your tiptoes as much as you can but don't give them the impression that you force yourself. so just try you'll never know unless you try! just try it worths trying! good luck!

212cm....

flyrules and dilvinay!
Thank you very much for your reply. I don`t know what to do, I definitely want to work for Emirates, and I guess, the other reqirements are not a big problem (even though I know that the application and assessment process is tough). I do not want to be sent away after five minutes or so just because of 3 or 4 cms…. I just wonder becaus I flew with Emirates several times and I saw three flight attendants who were definitely smaller than me (and, moreover, I easily manage to reach the overhead bins).

dilvinay – what do you mean with „small ones“? 160cm? Smaller? I just need a bit of a motivation…

It is strange – in this forum, I read about people smaller than me who manage to reach the 212cm-mark. Hey, what`s wrong with my arms? Why aren`t they longer?
Anyway, thanks for your reply. Maybe I should wait for an open day nearby...

To those who are waiting for the golden call, be patient. It says in the paper, you will call you 2-4 weeks. Just make sure you don't receive any emails. you be fine, keep your fingers crossed. good luck.

To those who already submitted their medical procedures, what happen next after they email medical approval?

[ikoysss]

the medical exam

What do they check in your medical exam? What are the chances of you failing it? And whats a NO NO for them when it comes to diseases? Do they actually give you a chance to treat it before you leave?

[Jessmin]

ikoysss

Regarding the medical issue, you probably have to refer to EK recruitment team, I think they have their own doctor for approval, i can't really put my fingers what illness can get away.
It seem a lot to go thru at first on papers, but once all are done, I realize they all pretty basic physical health check. If you need time for other treatment, then maybe you can postpone your joining date, becos EK allows 6months to join, you can even choose to join later given date within 6 months. i hope this help.

Vaccinations

Hey

Can anyone who has done the medical tell me what the doctor has given to you in terms of the vaccination certificates.

My doctor simply filled out the EK medical form but it says to bring some form of vaccination certificates along to your induction day.

If anyone can provide me with some guidance as i dont want to get over there and have to pay for the shots all over again ... particularly if any Aussies have been in a similar situation or any aussies that have done over can tell me what they have taken.

Thanks for your assistance ... Finally after almost 6 months wait between final interview and fly out date (my choice), my time has come!

waiting in pain

I am waiting in pain. It has been 4 days since the final interview and it seems like it had been a year of waiting. I wake up, and sleep to the thought of getting the "golden call" or not.
After that, theres the medical exam.. And i cant help it! Im paranoid about my health!!

ikoysss

4 days is nothing my dear.. it is 2-4 weeks. be patient

The medical test

The medical test is very simple;
respiratory check (for the lung diseases),
a urine sample (for STD's),
dental check (for hygiene),
an eye exam test ( if you need contact lenses).
For the resident visa must have a blood test. It's the same for any Middle Eastern countries.
Good luck...

Minimum requirements

The height doesn’t matter unless your hand reaches 212 cm, that’s what they need. There were lot of short girls but they made it. I’m not sure about GCC or UAE nationals requirements , but I do know that they need from the foreigners to have a High School degree.

This are the requirements that I found ont he web site...

Every new cabin crew will be provided with comprehensive training in our state-of-the-art training college. However to qualify for this opportunity, you will need to meet the following criteria:

• Minimum age 21 years at the time of application.
• Minimum arm reach of 212 cms (on tip toes), which will enable you to reach emergency equipment on all aircraft types.
• Educated to at least high school standard.
• Medically fit to meet aircrew requirements.
• Fluent in written and spoken English (fluency in another language is an asset).
• Previous experience in the service/hospitality industry is an advantage.
• Finally, you will be the sort of person who has the natural ability to provide excellent service within a team environment.

There is no mention of age limit, but I believe that people with 35 can still apply, at least thats my understanding unless things have changed.

Good luck every one !!!
