fashion EK
Noticed that some CC wear skirts while some wear the trousers. What are rules?
Are shoes/bags provided for? what about stockings?
Also, do we have to bring our own make-up or also taken cared/sponsored by Clinique?
Can I wear champagne colored pearl earrings?

Ive been with EK five months now. Yeah, you usually do get a fairly good mix, however sometimes id does depend on your luck to be honest. I mean you usually get atleat one LHR (24 hr) every month and yes the JNB is too short but if your not too exhausted you can still get around. Eg. my second roster was like 90 % turn arounds but usually you tend to get a mix. It depends on the route, eg. DME you wont be getting very often couse its not a daily and u usually get a fair amount of Russian speaking crew (not me). The longest layover ive had is MXP (72 hrs) but then it depends on your luck.

So where oh where is Lisa?
Reading the SMH online and noticed a report that the elusive Bigfoot may have been spotted, made me think about our ex Qantas Champion Lisa! Wonder where she is? any news? For a moment there i thought she may be advising big Tony Abbott, he seems to have f****** things up enough of late!

hostie1985 & make up
It's 6 weeks in total. From the day I handed my pictures over to them, thats when I started counting the week. I assume they sent all the files by courier, hence Admin in Dubai get hold of you file very fast. Once there, thats when you'll either get lucky and someone have a look at it and decide or it can sit there for the entire 6 weeks before they make a decision. I hope its the former rather than the latter and you are successful. Good Luck!
ps...all the make up talk for everyone else, Clinique does a good range for men, we should get some freebies too

Well, finally got my medicals off to them today, after much pain, not only in my arms and mouth, but in my pocket too 
No doubt I got another intense wait in front of me again, although it should be all fine

Who has the moderator barred? Well if it's for employment purposes u can't get it done on the NHS for free, the NHS don't do anything for free for me! haha They wont do medicals for employment purposes or chest xrays for free, unless you actually have something wrong with you! It's silly really, and for HIV tests it's so hard to get one, My doctor refused to do one and then the GUM clinic said they wouldn't give me a letter saying it was negative because they don't provide them for employment purposes so i had to go to a private clinic and pay £110.
My dentist was really good and only charged me check up prices but wouldn't put me on the NHS for my wisdom teeth removing because i wouldn't be here in time for the waiting list so refered me to a private dentist.
how much are you taking money wise sleepy?
do you take money cash?
im well miffed off to here ppl got their medicals free i so wish mine were then i might have some money left to take to spend!!! anyone else in my position

Beckyr & Sleepy
I am pretty much in the same position as you Becky. Though I have been a little more fortunate with them as they seem to keep me updated with what is going on. I would be tearing my hair out if I did not hear from them.
As for medicals, yes Sleepy, they cost a small fortune here in the UK. I had to pay the doc £100 to fill out all the forms, do my check up and that also included all the vaccinations I needed. The doc did annoy me as he would not do my HIV test, or chest X-ray. As you rightly said Becky, something had to be wrong with me for them to do a chest xray!! Anyhow, I had to get them done quick so I resulted in going private. One thing I learnt from that is, if you have the money, going private is just heaven! like first class but for the medical industry (I don't have the money, the joys of a credit card)!
They were very good as I received an appointment the very same day, they did my HIV test which cost £110. They then referred me to get the Xray Chest (£70) and Audigram (£90) and within that same afternoon in an hour, I had gotten them all done (they wrote the reference letters too for the results..bonus!). As for the dentist, teeth were all in fine shape 
, so I only had to pay £20 for the Xrays! Managed to make an appointment to see the doctor and he completed all the forms. Silly doc even asked me where I went to get my other tests done and how much it cost, so he could refer other patients! 
Anyhow sent it all off to Dubai and they actually emailed to say they received it! now just waiting. I am due to fly out on the 11th of Jan and the medicals were fine, so not really fussing over them as they will call - I am giving them until 11th Dec and then I will ring myself if I have not heard anything.
Back to money worries! I am thinking that I will only be able to scrape £500 to take to Dubai as the taxmen is eating into my temping job's wage packet, and Xmas coming up and also having to buy some essentials for when I move! It's all a little worrying now cause of that.
That's may rant over, over to you Sleepy and Beckyr

Oh good lol i wasn't the only one that paid it, did u goto the same day doctor? that's where i went they were amazing! you can get anything you want done there in same day! i never thought about private stuff before never thought of it as an option but then knowing these clinics now exist, (even though they do cost an arm and a leg) I would consider them in the future as the NHS take so long!
i will hopefully try save something like £500 for dubai but its guna be hard with everything- got so much to think about- contract phone for one, to cancel that and pay that off! Then my car insurance too :S they charge to cancel both!!! Then all essentials- toiletries and bits and bobs, all adds up. I Guess i'll just have to do bare min for a few months in dubai! however sure the sunshine will be out and we will have each other and our new country to explore so should be ok.
due to fly in a month- dec 7th and not got finals yet, but sure they will come! well i hope so anyway lol
