Hi guys,
On Saturday I got 'the call' and should be leaving for Dubai on 19th October!
The lady I spoke to from Emirates said she would send me an email yesterday with details of medicals and contracts etc,but I haven't received it. How long did it take for anyone else in my position to receive this email?From reading on here I've seen it could be a few days/weeks but the lady definately said she'd send it yesterday.
Anyone else leaving on the same day??

Email after the CALL
Hey,
Dnt worry abt it.. they are recruiting like crazy now and we are also moving buildings/HQs within Dubai so it's a very busy time at Emirates. You'll get your letter very soon. Should get it within the next 2 days or so.
Also expect delays when it comes to approval of medicals and all that... Just make sure u do everything they ask u to accurately according to their instructions and processing your application will also be easier on their part.
Congrats by the way.. U r very lucky and I'm sure u'll be very happy when u get here. It's all worth it.

final approval
Just wondering.. What happens after you get your final approval and after you send them your resignation form? Do you get another email? Or do you just wait for your ticket/VISA which is supposed to arrive 4 days before departure?

re-apply
Hello guys,
When I would like to re-apply, how long should I wait? Maybe I heard 6 month...but I am not sure..
And if this 6 month is true, they look it really strictly? so when after just 4-5 month there will be open day near to my town and I would like to go, it is not possible? Or they are not so strict?

re: open day
Hello SingaporeBoy
My advice would be to you to try it!!!! When I was on Emirates open day, the recruiters said that the oldest cabin crew what they have are over their 50´s... so it is never too late

The oldest cabin crew that they have it's not newly recruited, as far as I know the age limit TO JOIN is 35, sorry to burst your bubble, but then again you can always try, good luck any way !!!!

Final Approval
Gee Rxlc I hope your not stressing too much...
I have been waiting 3 weeks, which is fine. I guess they will get to me when they get to me. It is annoying though cos I dont know whether to give notice at work or not. My starting date is Oct 4th so I want to give them a months notice.
I have been readiing the residents guide to Dubai and it sounds awesome...I'm sure when we are all settled we will have a laugh about how frustrating this wait is

Naddy1983 - Thanks!! I feel great that its all now concrete and I just advised my work earlier of my resignation. I sent CCjoiners another email asking if I need a written reference letter from my current employer, but they said there was no need for it. Also when you email them your medical results, don't forget to include a 'graph' from your hearing test..thats the part I forgot before.. So two weeks after I submitted the graph I got the final approval (Sunday the 19th Aug). A few days before I received it I had actually sent them an email asking about the status of my medical/final approval..so maybe they followed it up after my email. I fly out on Sept 28..I'm soo excited!! Good luck with yours, I'm sure you'll be fine! 
They will email you once they have received your medical results from you, then wait approximately 2 weeks before following up with them..
As for RXLC though... I'd get on to them ASAP cause you start next week already!! As in call them until you get a hold of someone.. How will you resign from work with such super short notice? They'll probably end up changing your start date...

Thanks Mel.
I've tried faxing through me medicals today but can't seem to get through. Did you fax or e-mail? I couldn't e-mail as there were too many attachments and I didn't want to send through loads of e-mails as they are more than likely to get lost then. Also, I have a chest x ray report but not an x ray and when you fax through your dental x rays they're not too clear. Nightmare.... I'll give them a ring in the morn to confirm the fax number but I'd be interested to know if you had any probs. I understand they're moving offices so maybe the fax is off - I don't know.
WELL DONE!! I bet that's a weight lifted - it seems to have all happened very quickly but at the same time it's very stressful when your waiting isn't it?

emailing medicals etc..
Hey nads!
I emailed all my reports through (not the xrays though, just the written reports of them as you will show the actual xray when you arrive into Dubai). Same thing happened to me, the file sizes of my scans were to large for their email, so i sent about 4-5 separate emails with the different reports attached and a message in each email about what is being sent in that particular email and what I have already emailed etc...Just make sure you always write your name and joiners reference number in each..
.goldenboy- from the Brisbane recruitment recently that I was in, some people were called exactly two weeks after their final interview, I was called 2 weeks after but that was to ask me to send in more photos. Then about four weeks after the final interview my work colleague received the golden phone call, then I did a day later.. and then our other work colleague got the call 6 weeks after the final interviews! So you could imagine she was stressed out for two weeks more because us two got the call and she didn't! So even though others have been called from your recruitment day, don't worry yet because they can call you anytime between 2-6 weeks from your final interview.. I say no news is good news
Right now I'm stressing about what bank account to open and how much money I'll be needing when i first arrive into Dubai because I'm so dead broke at the moment!! Anyone currently working as EK CC have any advise? EK pays monthly I presume?? And in training college during our lunch breaks do we have to go out and buy food or do they provide meals during training? Or have like a cheap cafeteria in the building? Wonder if the banks in Dubai will lend money or offer a credit card right away to new EK CC? I wouldn't mind so then I could pay off my debts here in Australia with it then only have to worry about money issues in Dubai..

As far as i know Banks will offer you credit cards while training, there are lots of banks but the most populars are HSBC and Mashrek, for loans I believe that you have to wait 6 months, but I'm not totally sure.
During training you will have luch at the cafeteria in the training college, they have set meals for DHS 15 (about u$s 4), (salad, main meal and a soft drink), of course they also have soup, sandwiches and other things but the set meal is not that bad and it often changes, plus now we have Costas Cafe right next to it, all in the 7th floor with an amazing view of Dubai creek golf.
The pay day is once a month but during training you will only get the basic salary, which is enough to live but not to pay off debts, so, good luck there !!!
I hope that it helped !!!!
