Thanks lvafx!
Do you mean washing machine, tumble dryer and "dishwasher" instead of washing maching again?

I am used to wearing boxers and a Vneck vest, is that okay?

I heard Dubai water is not safe and I shouldnt drink it for the first couple of months?

1.Does Carrefour deliver?

you have washing machine and tumble dryer for ur clothes, some come with dishwasher for the.... dishes!

I am used to wearing boxers and a Vneck vest, is that okay?

I am used to not wearing underwear hehehe
Just wear a white tshirt under the shirt

I heard Dubai water is not safe and I shouldnt drink it for the first couple of months?

two letters: BS
but mineral water is better, cheap and tastier (and not as warm)

1.Does Carrefour deliver?

i think so, after certain amount of money spent... the kwik-e-marts deliver though, even a pack of marlboros

Dude, I know the waiting is killing, but as i read many times on this forum no News= good news

They did not reject you so I guess it sounds good, I am waiting for 2 weeks so we are in the same situation, I know it sucks to wait but we have to, they need time to do all the tasks to hire someone and i guess its not easy for them neither.

Normally we should get an answer with 2-6 weeks as they said. So try to take it easy and keep on living (I know the feeling)...

Goodlluck and let me know when you get the "golden call"

Oh my god, that is so freaky. I am flying from Man on Fri.
Ill try to meet you at the airport.
I will PM you now

Stefany- We get 50kg (30 more than normal economy) because obviously we are moving out of our country to a new one therefore we (as emloyees) can carry our things to move to our new home.... or something. (EK say you have to take 20 but they allow 28kg. Internal Secret- wooops! Check-in staff allow 8 kg extra, but we dont tell people because everyone will bring 29kg)

Thanks

Angry 50kg.....

just to stir things up....

we only get a 50kg limit for our personal things (mostly clothes) when we move to dubai....

BUT, new pilots get an 8ft x 6ft container that fits in the belly of the plane when they move out there!!!

its sh!t....

i was talking with my bro the other day, and that is what he said he got...

all i want to bring is my car, and then i can put everything inside of it!!!
