How many weeks before you got your final result for your med exam and offer letter? It's been 10 days since i sent my med exam result and no feedback from them yet...

Louise & Honey Cathy
Honey Cathy, I received my Final Approval two weeks after I sent my medicals, the same length of time I waited for the golden phone call. Nothing to worry about at this stage honeycathy. Have you given them a ring to check whether they have received your medicals? I am sure they have but it might be an idea to ring them if you haven't.
Louise, Like I said to honeycathy, I received mines two weeks after sending my forms. I don't think they would take longer than that providing that everything in the medical forms are fine. As for the group on Facebook, I joined and have access to it. Send an email to one of the officers of the group and tell them you are joining EK in Feb and if you can be granted access. It worked for me, so should be fine for you too.
Good Luck
When is your DOJ honeycatchy? I've forgotten...

I believe that they reduced for a while the number of new crew joining, as only two batches are arriving from this week, (usually there are three), each batch has about 16 people, but this is just for the moment, next year the training will go back to four batches as it was not long ago, don't forget that soon they need to start training the crew for the A380 and lots and lots will be needed, so, for those of you that the date has been pushed back please don't worrie that there is nothing wrong with your details, and they are not having second thoughts either, this is just because they need to rearrange the number of new crews arriving.
Best of luck and please be patient !!!!

One day...
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF THOSE WHO MADE IT As for me... well I'll be back again for another year but one good thing did come out of it & that was receiving feedback from the recruiters which is a NO NO
My story is I started 2 years ago trying out for Emirates making it through the final 2-on-1 interview each time but then received the awful letter first time & then in an email the 2nd time after already a year had past. Yes I made it through this far again for the 3rd time but my recruiter asked me what it stipulates on the website.. I said one of the requirements is having a high school certificate, but I only have year 10 due to personal reasons. To my knowledge I assumed since I made so far everytime it must be irrelevant since it's going back 15 years ago. All 3 seperate interviews nothing had been mention in fact no one pointed it out (goes to show they aren't detailed oriented) & I said this in my interview. Over the last 12 months since we don't get feedback I've had to work it out myself & I was beginning to think that was the problem. I was told I have everything they are looking for as cabin crew & great customer service experience (which was first time I heard & music to my ears) but I was told there & then the honest truth... I will receive the no letter. Having said that we still conducted the interview & everything was documented for the next time. Mean while, I have to wait another 12 months before re-applying but I will redeem myself by obtaining that certificate equivalent to a high school cert so the next time I make it through they won't have any excuse but to hire me! lol
If anything I hope I've inspired those that haven't had the best of luck to keep trying no matter what!...
DANDANJOSE: Well done my friend. I told you, you had it in the bag did I not??!!.. lol Congratulations

my date was moved because my flight was changed to the 12th of dec instead of the 14th, and they emailed me on the 11th...i called, and told her that i was not ready, and after an hour long argument, she changed it to the 4th of jan...
i guess the flight for the 14th was overbooked, and since they only fly to houston three times a week, thats what they could do....
owell, i have more time with my family and friends atleast!

Jkfly: Thats definitly cool! Can't believe that, you are both very lucky indeed and I am sure there must have been a good twin vibe going on! 
Sleepy740: Well atleast you get to spend Xmas and New Yr at home with family and friends. You can start the new year with a bang by flying to Dubai. January is not that far off anyhow and you will get there one week before I fly out.
Beachbum & IzaSz1983: I suggest counting sheeps at nite to try to get to sleep or drink chamomile tea!
BlueSkySid: Sorry to hear what happened with EK, but you sound very determined so do what you have to do and next time round, you know they will not have reason to turn you away. Goodluck

My Story ... Final Interview
Hi All
Just wondering if anyone can answer this question for me who has recently gone for the final interview with EK ....
When did they change the written reference to only having to provide contact details for your referees?!
I had my final interview only 2 days ago .... similar questions to what I was asked when I got to Final Interview previously ... but when did they change the referee concept. Last time I went for it I only had to provide EK with 2 reference letters on company letterhead.
Anyone know the reason for the change?
Let's hope it doesn't take too long to find out if I am accepted again. Last time I got in but had to turn it down for personal reasons so let's see if EK gives me another go?!?!
Good luck to all those waiting still for an answer. Hope with Xmas and New Year that it doesn't delay our results.

All i know is that i was told to provide written evidence to show that i was employed..concerning references, they just asked for the contacts and nothing more, although my previous employers did give me written references and i just sent those as my proof of employment.
ALI
yup...definitely some good twin vibe going on there
HONEY CATHY

I was only asked (from what I can remember) of the names and addresses of my 2 referees when completing my application on the website. Never asked anything else again after that, nothing at the Assessment Day, Final Interview, when told I got the job...Strange!

Probably because they don't really care about your references. Anyone can do this job, particulary in the ME, where they could fire you for having your hair cut too short. Welcome to a modern slavery environment!
