Hey EVERYONE
I have got a general question for everyone who has heard that they are going to dubai soon, are you all so addicted to the internet looking at sites about dubai and pictures on google i keep wasting so many hours just dreaming with my head inside the computer , has anyone seen the ICE BAR on sheikh zayed road its amazing cant wait to go there or the BIG ski resort indoors . Or if anyone want s to see what the apartment is like for staff or the training college then have you seen melisas blog its amazing melisa-emiratesairlines.*************
Ali xander: I got a job YAYAYAY
it's in a call centre pay isnt brilliant but its lasting right up until december so i'll have the money i need to take with me
If theres anyone leaving on 14th december from anywhere or especially GATWICK then give me a shout !!!
For everyone else who's still waiting or trying hang in there as the day comes closer i feel it was well worth all the hard work , needles , xrays , pictures with skirts not quite pencil enough and travelling
have a great day everyone !!!!!!!

Daydreaming Of Ek!
VIC = You are not the only one, I am spending hours and hours of my time on the internet reading the same things over and over again about living in Dubai, looking at pictures and videos of EK aircrafts, and just day dreaming about joining Emirates! 
It's unbelievable and even sleeping is proving hard work and I am turning into an insomniac!
The good news is that I have found a job as well! I will be temping on the NHS in London. I've done secretarial & admin work before and its a breeze and the pay is good too. That should definitly help me save up before Dubai.
So I am really chuffed. Might be a little strange having to wake up early and do 9-5 again, especially those cold mornings! 
Doesn't matter though as it will not be for long!
I have finally faxed off all my medicals to DXB and turns out they are on Public Holiday and here I have been rushing around like a headless chicken trying to get it all done in time. I don't trust fax machines, I hope they have received it! I did ask them to let me know by email/fone upon receipt. Do you think I should scan it all and email it to them as well or am I being too eager...?

Hello Ali Xander,
I did both, e-mail (sent them in pdf file) and also fax. It was confirmed receipt a day after (over the phone) and was asked to call back in a week time for the result. When I called the following week, she said everything was fine and the final approval was received on the same day.
cheers,

@Ali why are you thinking of rejectio if your medicals were all fine?? Don`t think to much! Stay cool and relaxed until you will join and have your first real impression of working as cabin crew for Emirates!

Jan 11
Hey everyone! First of all congrats to everyone who made it, and to those who are flying out soon! I recieved my golden call about three weeks ago, but the lady from Dubai told me that all the trainning sessions are pretty much full for this year, so she gave me a starting date of JAN 11. Anyone else starting on that date? I'll be flying out of Warsaw.
Once again congrats to everyone, and see you in Dubai!
Hey Polski, I was at the OD in Warszawa too. I was the guy with the Canadian accent! Congrats on getting in! Do zobaczenia w Dubaju!

Second final interview
Hi guys!!!
I would like to share my experience with you and also ask for a reply. I went through the final intervjew last year but i didnt pass. Unfortunately they dont say anything about reasons that made me fail but the recruiter told me to try again in one year time.
In october i had my new chance and i made through the final interview. Now i am waiting for 2 weeks for the final answer. Does anybody know if someone had tried twice and pass in the second time.
What my friends keep telling me is that once you failed in a final interview you wont be accepted again. Is it true.
I hope to hearing news from you soon guys!!!
tks
Dan

There have been cases of people trying 6 or 7 times with EK and finally got accepted, so dont worry about not possibly getting in just because you failed once.Dont worry and Good Luck!

Hi freinds,
I have a typical question about the refernce letters that EK requires for new cabin crew! If I go to my current employer (a very good job and a very very good company) and tell him that I need reference letters for Emirates he will kill me and give me an immediate penalty:-) But I have other reference letters from the same employer about my performance, customer orientation etc. but they are general! Just written as a certificate as this is usual here in Modern Europe:-) I have also one telling me that my salary will increase because of my good performance at this company! Do you think that this will help me? Do you think that Emirates will contact the refernce persons you mentioned in the online application form? I mentioned 2 but to my luck the are very good colleagues who know that I am looking for a job with EK and who will tell the truth in case if EK contacts them!
Best regards and good luck to anybody else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
