I have talked to a number of the new recruits who will be starting with me in January and most of them are from Brazil. It looks like EK like the Brazilians and with the new EK flight to Sao Paulo, it might just be your lucky day and it falls into place for you.
Apparently the longer you wait, the better as they are most likely to say yes. The shorter you wait, its most likely to be no. In my case I found out in under two weeks, so it just proves that you cannot really anticipate the way EK thinks. Good Luck & I hope its good news.
Keep me posted!

Money for Dubai
HI GUYS!
my friend whos been over in dubai from london has written to me all about the money situation,
she took with her £500 which is $USA 1040 , $AUS 1114 and 718 EURO
IT WASN'T ENOUGH !
She was however based out in the sticks near the airport so life was more expensive but she STRONGLY advised me to take more if possible .
You do get given 2500Dirhams when you get there which is £327, $USA 680 , $Aus 729 , EURO:469 but that gets deducted for the first 2 months in halves.
Your pay is roughly only £500 for the first few months so that will really eat into what money you have in the first few months so its better to not really spend a lot of that LENT money.
I thought i would get this posted as i was planning on taking less than what she took. I hope everyone going soon has a way of making some more money i'm definately on the case now like some of you i have bills to pay right up until i leave.
Also i dont know if Melisa is still on here but her ******** is FANTASTIC!!! check it out she talks you through the whole training process AND theres PICTURES !!!!
www melisa-emiratesairlines . ******** .com
I have to put the spaces in cuz they wont let me put it all together without blocking it have a look
ALSO ANYONE FLYING DECEMBER 14th WHOS JUST JOINED?????

Midoy10,
You must have a misunderstanding of what this website is. This is not a recruitment site and we are not part of the recruitment team. As i have told you before, and im quite sure of it as i work for Emirates, they are NOT having anymore assesment days in Tunisia this year and they havnt planned any YET for next year. You keep posting the same question over and over again and you have gotten your answer. Take it easy!

still hoping!
a friend of mine got this dreaded "email" last 2 weeks ago so she phoned me and ask if i got the same letter so i checked my email and fortunately none. i still recall the OD, so unprepared i didn't had my printed resume coz my printer didn't work so i went to an internet shop just to print my resume and i was 15 mins. late when they started. i was so hungry i didn't had my breaky and not allowed to it coz it's ramadan...so just imagine i didn't ate the whole day and at the same time feeling nervous and exhausted coz of the whole day interview...i feel lucky every after i received the lettter with the first word "Congratulations blahblablah.." all my coworkers were calling me every after stages they wanna know if i passed or not..i still can't believe i passed all the stages on the 1st day. and on the 2nd day, still unprepared, got incomplete requirements, had no idea what question to be askedand so nervous! ...when i heard the 1st question, it just popped in my mind that this is gonna be easy coz it's all about my past experience, i felt like it's not me who were talking answering all those questions and it took only less than half an hour...so now i'm still waiting for the "golden call", hoping to be called this week... just like to share my experience during OD til my last interview...goodluck to all of us!

midoy & In the zone
MIDOY: At the risk of sounding blunt or rude, having a cabin crew qualification does not make it any easier to get a job as cabin crew, sure it shows that one is dedicated, but it does not show whether a person is the right candidate for the job. Unfortunately thats how it goes. And surely such a course cannot possibly teach people to have a personality, decent looks, or a sense of humour. And let's face it - that's what most airlines are looking for. Such a course is a complete waste of time in my opinion.
INTHEZONE: I am due to start training with EK in Jan, I have been doing lots of research about life in Dubai etc and I am so looking forward to it. I know this is cheeky of me, but any chance of getting to know what you current roster for the month is like? It would help if you could...perhaps not post it on here if you do not want to, but a pvt message. I've seen rosters from BA etc but those are not the companies I am joining at the end of the day. Thanks...

Hey Dear Ali Xander
Thanks for your reply. Last year it took 4 weeks for the no wanted letter and them they asked me to resend pictures afterwards. I resent pictures and the non wanted letter came again.... funny right!!!
If longer means a positive answer, i can tell you that i dont care to wait 6, 7 or 8 weeks.
Also they are doing a huge recruitment process here in Brazil through Fly Right International that in my point of view is doing a great job.
It seems they have only 120 Brazilian Cabin Crew in dubai and they really want to increase this number due to the new flight and also yes, they like brazilians.
I will keep you updated about my situation.

im hired but having doubts
Hi to the beautiful CC of Emirates. Im not sure if you still get to check this forum. I got my final approval on my medical and is scheduled for a jan 11 joining date. So yay right? But Im having 2nd thoughts. I would like to ask more questions about the job, the people, working & living in Dubai, just to be more informed when I make the decision.
So here goes...
(1) How much is base pay and flying hrs of Grade II. After Grade II what happens. Hope you can share with me payscale.
(2) How does the ERP work? Hope you can illustrate how (a)50% of salary protection against currency fluctuation and (b) 15% above threshold protection rate work.
(3) Training - I have been made aware of the 4-week training requirement. In my case, if joining date is Jan 11, do I start flying on Feb 8? I also came across some forums that uniforms will be provided on the 2nd day of training.
(4) Upgrades and corresponding salary adjustments - you have mentioned that usually after 1 yr and depending on the crew's performance, upgrade to Grade 2 takes place. Are there instances wherein good performance merits faster updgrades. Basically, I would like to get a more clear idea of how a crew moves up.
(5) How does the profit sharing work? Will you be at liberty to share how it was last year for cabin crew?
(6) How do the medical benefits apply to our dependents? Will valid dependents have similar/same benefits as ours?
(7) How are arrangements for accommodations done? Is it done at random (old employee and newbie? Both newbies? and regardless of nationality)?
(8) What are the first months like? How about the first year
(9) Cana a CC still fly even after 35 yo? Or is this age ceiling only applies at point of recruitment?
(10) Does a cabin crew have options to move to other departments such as marketing/customer care/training during/after his/her contract? Were there former crew who joined other teams in EK?
(11) How are the passengers?
(12) what are the best flights/layovers AND the worst flight/layovers?
(13) Do you have enough days off on the first year? Enough time to go to the gym, take up yoga, study photography etc?
(14) How are the EK accommodations in Dubai?
(15) How is like living in Dubai? the culture? the people?
(16) And for the final question what would be the best piece of advise to someone who will venture into the international airline industry and what should/shouldnt I do to maximize/"ruin" this wonderful opportunity.

Hey...Thanks for that, it does help as it seem you get a very good mix indeed. Particularly like the LHR & DME, though I wish the JNB was longer!
How long have you been with EK?
