Well, 2 months now since my final interview and still nothing...so I just called them AGAIN today. Couldn't really hear much because it was a bad line, but they said something about not receiving my files, but then said I should get a call definately before Tuesday in regards to medicals etc...
So, now I've really got my hopes up, just like last time I called they said I would get a call within a week, but this time she PROMISED before Tuesday...I'm gonna be so angry if I don't get that call
2 MONTHS!!!!!!!! The waiting is really killing me. I think at least 2 years have been shaved off my life from all this waiting..

Nov 16th
Dear All,
Very excited at the thought of starting a new career in a new country. Most excited by the prospect of meeting new people and forming new friendship groups (already kept in touch with lots of people from my interview in London).
Just curious if anyone else is leaving from LHR/LGW for Dubai on Nov 16th with training starting Nov 22nd?
Regards,
Phil

medicals, money and fulfillment
Hi there! These questions are for everyone but most specially addressed to those who are already on board and working with emirates...
I just submitted my medicals a week ago and got an email from HR confirming receipt of my email. Im not expecting them to reply so soon after reading your posts plus my joining date is next Jan. But while waiting (anxiously!), I would like to pose the these q's to help me decide if this is really for me (that is, if I passed my medicals)
BTW, do applicants still get rejected at this stage even if your medical results are okay? Also, once they ask you to fly to Dubai, can they still send you back home and on what grounds? does anyone know of any "tragic" story like this?
More q's...
MONEY
a) if the basic is around 3,700dhs + another 3,700 dhs for your flying hours (is this correct) + allowances, how much is your net income? estimate please.
b) when do you get a salary increase and by how much?
c) how much are your average expenses in dubai. Emirates pay for everything except for food right?
d) how much do you get to save
CAREER
a) how fast do you get promoted
b) is politics difficult? do you have to "kiss up" to some people
BENEFITS
a) how much discount do they give on tickets for you and your family
b) do your travel dependents have to be on standby if they use the id tickets
LAYOVERS
a) how long do you get to spend in nice cities such as PARIS, LONDON, AUSTRALIA, NEW YORK?
b) When can you start bidding for flights. what are the most difficult flights to swap
PEOPLE
a) what is the culture in Emirates?
Your answers would be much appreciated. thanks!!!

Hey!
Dress code for the flight to Dubai is casual, meaning
jeans, polo shirt or something, nothing revealing for girls, just regular. I don't think flying is sweat pants and flip flops is a good idea, but just casual. Shirt with labels like "who the F*** is D&G" wouldn't be a good idea
So just be plain, simple and casual. A friend of mine left last week, he was wearing a polo and jeans, with sneakers he is all good.
Well oct 12 team! Have a safe flight, i'll be in at 23:40 in DXB from Athens...
can't wait!!

Long time listener first time caller
Hi Guys,
Congratulations to everyone who just left / is leaving soon... I just submitted my application and am hoping to be invited to Sydney interviews.
One question tho, with the low base complemented with allowances, does anyone know, in the first few months of flying, do you get stuck on the relatively short haul routes and turnarounds meaning no layover allowance and just turnaround flights to BEY DEL BOM KHI etc. ?
John

RE: application
Hi everyone I have a query and was hoping someone could help me out.
I have already filled in the online application for cabin crew but having logged into the site again today I have realised that in the education section it asks for the highest education gained and then asks to list all the relevant education you have gained. For UK qualifications does this mean the GCSE's and "A" levels you have done? And if so how can it be inputted as it does not ask for subject or level, eg GCSE or "A"level?
Also having filled in the online application, once submitted do we get an email confirmation to say they have received the applicaiton? And any idea how long it takes before you hear of the outcome?
Sorry to be a pain.
Any help would be appreciated.
