Hello
Hello, i would like to introduce myself and say hi to all, i have been reading these posts for a while but only just got round to joining. I am hopefully starting end of October. I am from UK (Lancashire) but have been living here for the past few months, therefore will be joining as a local recruit. My only concern is that i will not be offered EK accommodation as i am not single 
i hope this dosn't stop me from bonding with other recruits during the training!! (don't want to feel left out) i was also wandering if it is true that EK will be offering family accommodation in the future? could anyone confirm that please? also do i have to make the trip to the training college myself daily, as i live quite a distance away? any info would be appreciated, CHEERS

Hi Melisa, Flyrules and Kelly S.
It's great we all start on the same date! wooo...!!! I wonder if we will end up in the same accommodation!? I'm leaving from Birmingham in the U.K. I think I'm dueto arrive at 00.05 a.m or something. Not sure if that is u.k time or Dubai time!?
Sophia don't worry I'm sure you won't miss out on anything! I'm really not sure about transport! At a guess I'd say that they may want you to provide it yourself seeing that you said you live quite far away. I would call Emirates up and check with them.
See you all in Dubai!
I have no idea what to pack!?!

12th Oct Team
Hi Christina,
Were you in the Birmingham interviews back in July? I'm joining 2 weeks later on 12th October - really excited now.
EKRavin - Looking forward to getting out there. There's a few of us on 12th. A party together sounds fantastic. Be good to put faces to names and finally meet. So close now. Also, that info you posted from Tuberosee was really valuable - thank you.
And EmiratesCCMad, SkyHighFlyGal, Illy745 all flying on 12th Oct - we will meet soon

In what year was this photograph taken? It must be a very old one as I remember seeing it for the first time a very long time ago.

the agency from where i applied to join the emirates assessment told me that i am going to receive the eticket 4days before the flight. and my friends who have just arrived to dubai for the past 2 Fridays all received their tickets 4days before their departure date.
i dont know with other countries maybe its different from your end. but just to make sure, do try to verify it with them so you can plan better.
I am so excited for you guys!
You're almost leaving!
That PPrune get together sounds really great!

It is indeed 4 days before your flight. This is what i was told. Hours difference are GMT+4(winter) or GMT+3(summer).
All feeling ready to take off our new career !!! I think we all deserve it. Hope no one is having any second thoughts or even better opportunities than EK !!!
Are we supposed to be in business attire even on the first day, i mean the day we are taking our flights or smart casual be ok?
We'll try rock the training courses : 12-OCT TEAM - bet this is going a very special kinda date for us!!!
My birthday is very near to that, infact it could be the day when i'll receive my ticket & Visa.
Hey, anyone found out what kind of visa or formalities we as cabin crew are given to travel all these countries???

Anyone from NYC?
Hey guys
,
Is anyone in the forum from NYC or familiar with the area? I need some advise on transportation between EWR and JFK airports. Emirates has booked me via NYC, arriving into EWR but departing from JFK (Not an easy task
). Continental Airlines refuses to reroute to JFK beacuse it is an EK stock ticket and Emirates can not reissue due to seat availability in their system
The layover is 7 hours, so there is plenty of time for me to get to JFK.
PLEASE, ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED! (Keep in mind that I will have two pieces of luggage and one carry-on)

flyrules...
on my way to dubai, i flew from denver to newark on continental in august, and i had the same dilema...
there are tons of shuttle busses that make the trip...
i dont remember the name of the one i took, but when you land in newark, go to baggage claim, and look for the ground transportation counter.
ask about getting to jfk, and they will sell you a ticket on a bus...
it took me an hour to get to jfk on the bus.
we made only two stops before making it to jfk.
one was at the port authority, and thats where i changed buses...
then we stopped close to the empire state building after i got on that bus.
it was cool cuz we drove by the set of good morning america, and richard simmons was outside in a sparkly outfit!!
haha
so sit on the right side of the bus, and look out the window once you get on the second bus, and you might see someone famous!
hope that helps

Hey EmiratesCCMad
That list of docs to bring is really handy - thank you. I just have one q - the 2 reference letters from employers - it hasn't been mentioned in any correspondence. I thouight that references have already been taken prior to acceptance of offer? Do you know is it 2 references from different employers that they require and are these character references? I'm confused.... I've never obtained my own reference before - employers usually seek them before offering a job and have their own questions and criteria they ask.
Anyone else know and can help?
Not long now

Hi Naddy,
I saw this too, i really dont think you need references, im not taking mine. They do this themselves, i have looked on all the paperwork i have and it doesnt say on it anywhere that we have to take them with us.
You know on the paper that says what we need to send prior to joining and take with us etc, it says about references but it doesnt say next to it that we have to do this prior to joining or when we arrive.
I think that post was taken from a post of a girl who's brother got into Emirates, so im just going by what it says on the paperwork i have from Emirates.
See you in Dubai!

Hey there,
It doesn't mention anything about ref. in EK paperwork but I have asked other existing crew and when you get there apparently you gotta submit two ref. with company letter head... I dunno. I am just taking them incase, coz I dont want to have to make hundreds of calls to my employers, they put you on hold for a long time.
erm...
ekeyqr:
Hey, well done for getting shortlisted again. Unlucky for failing the last time. I am pretty sure there are no kind of workshops for EK crew... the best way to gain experience or info is actually going to a open day which you have done 4 times...
I have a big list of links of tips/info on EK interview, so if you would like to pm me so I can send them to you.
I dont think any of us know what Emirares are actually looking for specifically, but just go, smile and be yourself...show your warm personality.
12 Oct Gang...Get ready to rumble...
