EK is pissing me off
Nad, its been 4 weeks now that i have been waiting for the final approval.
I called them so many times and they just said someone gonna look into it or there is no news at the moment !!!
I mailed them as well so many times still bl**^% nothing.
Am thinking to quit this and come back to UK. Honestly they have been taking the p*&^...well they are
I know some more ppl in the same situation !!! Mannn you were really lucky. To be honest i was lucky all since the beginning, everything was going to fast.
When did u submitted ur medicals and i mean around what date!
No one is able to tell me a straight answer when i ring. The phone line is crap as well and expensive too.
Thx Rav

Hey EK Ravin,
It's ok! You and me are going through the same proccess. It's been 6 weeks for you, but the time they said was 4-6. Remember:NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS. If they did'nt want you, they would have emailed you and got it over with, but obviously they like you (fingers crosesd)
Dont get impatient, they're trying their best, and the final outcome in Dubai is all worth it!!!
You are really lucky like me, You, Leito,naddy etc as we have beaten the 30,000 people who apply each month!
I can understand you want to ocntact them or email them but they might think you're impatient. It's really hard, I know.
DO NOT GIVE UP!
They will contact you when neccesary, when the 6 weekws are up then ring up and check. Don't talk so negative about them, you might Jinx yourself
Sorry for my big post! Hope it helps
Edit:
ikoysss: Yes, on yer days off (8 per month I think) you can work out, NOT BEFORE FLIGHTS as you will be tired! If i get the yes, I'm going to on Jumeria Beach, City Centre shopping, golf creek, oh the dreams of beautiful DUBAI!!!!!! I am going to save my wages to have a night in Burj Al Arab!!!!! Thats like one months wage lmao

EmiratesCCmad: Working out actually gives you more energy in the long run. And i think we future cabin crew should totally get into it.
My friends at EK sometimes get 5 straight days off. They would even get an ID90 ticket and go home for a couple of days.
Myyyy I am EXcited! LOL

Thx. I think you are right, i might be harassing them too much !
I leave it to them. I heard it takes 1 week to get the finals and not 4-6 weeks. Some ppl starting on the same date got their approvals within days they submitted their medicals.
Now this is something else i found. having too much news from all around sometimes makes you behave in some stupid ways. If u say so (4-6 wks) then i'll just wait.
Hope this coming week will mine, and all the rest of us. Cos i saw new batches starting later in OCT and NOV as well, which means we are not far then.

Grade II Salary
Just wanted to correct a previous post (i think it was by omarr) regarding average Grade II Salary. The figure they quoted was more what the Grade I crew get, or at least the amount I'm getting on a full Business Class roster.
Average Grade II monthly Salary (and this is NOT including per diems) is around 7000 - 8500. The reason I don't include per diems is that some months may be full of only layovers, or only turnarounds, or partly full of standby duties without a callout, should you be on reserve. Plus a Japanese speaker doing a month of Japanese flights would get more in per diems than, say, a Swahili speaker doing a month of African flights.
I was in Economy for 15 months, and at no point did my monthly salary every hit the 9000 mark. As much as 10,000 AED would be welcomed, this isn't what Grade II's get.
Sorry to burst anyone's bubble...

Eek- Waiting is too exciting <eek-eek>
But just to think, in a few months we will be sat in Dubai!! Its worth the wait...
Many people on this forum and others say 'Oh Emirates said No to me, they must be mental. What are they looking for? It's their loss bla bla"
Well, not correct. 30k applicants per month (correct me if wrong), they have a hard job.
They look for:
Candidates must:
-be well groomed
-warm, bubbly personality
-confident
-customer service exp if any
-Any extra assets (languages,experience but it all depends)
-nice welcoming personality and smile
-hard working, with commitments (last thing they want is going through all trouble recruiting,grooming,medicals,training and 3 months in probation, you decide I wana go home, its rubbish!! so therefore as said before 'Either you'll love it or hate it' .I know I will love this job, its my ultimate ambition.
-and if you meet all requirements
-If you can pass their Assesments, then your theirs!!
Correct if I have made any errors
C'Ya!

Well as my user name says 'EmiratesCCMad'!
This waiting for my cakl is almost killing me!!! Oh dear...
Hey RXLC: I KNOW probation is 6 months. I was saying, 3 months into prob. and people say "that I'm going back. Its really
!!!!" Just a waste of time isn't it!
Well, I only been to 1 OD, and I was really observing the trainers and trying to find the pattern on which the basis of candidates got elimated. Just waiting for my call.And just looking round forums, I though I just give a quick reminder.
It really really annoys me when people say "Emirates turned me down. They're blah blah. I am very good etc. Their loss not mine... "
I just get fed up. Just mainly, be yourself, confident,relaxed and participate in the activites and give it your best shot. Don't over do it though!!
GOOD LUCK TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU including, the Wanabees,Gonabees,Already-bees,Never-bees, or turned-down bees. Just reapply 6 months later
Ta
x
P.S Does anyone know, if they went to O.D and ticked on one of forms:
Are You Willing To Serve Alcohol?[X] Does it affect the results.
I ticked NO, because I'm Muslim! I don't know. Please give me your verdict?

After final interview
Hi everyone,
I had a final interview with Emirates recruitment when they were here last in Melbourne which seemed to go quite well. Had the psych assessments etc, it has been over 2 weeks now and just waiting to hear back from the big E.
My question is..... What is the general timeframe they get back to applicants AND would I have found out by now if I was not successful in continuing the Emirates journey?
After final interviews what is involved with the medical and dental checks?
I appreciate any feedback!
Thank you!!

The usual wait is 4-6 weeks. Saying that, many people on this forums have either had it before 4 weeks and some after 6 weeks. Remember: No news is good news. They're working their butts off so give 'em a chance. If no news after 5 week or so, email or give them a buzz on the phone.
You probarbly would have found out by now if you was'nt succesful,as members on this forum have said they get an e-mail if unsuccesful. If you recieve an email, its most likely a no! If so, try in a years time. (Because its only 6months for group stages, and 1 yr after final interview)
After final interviews what is involved with the medical and dental checks?
Mainly xrays,dental,jabs,etc
I really dont know, waiting for call. Ask one of the people who have done their medicals.
"HIV test, your vaccination : Hep A, B, Typhoid, MMS, Polio ...
your teeth must be clean, free from caries and all necessary fillings completed"From Cabincrew.com/forum
I appreciate any feedback! Thank You
You're welcome!
