Importance of Swimming
 

Just in response to Poppins regarding not needing to know how to swim, to become a Flight Attendant:

Being able to swim is extreemly important to the role of a Flight Attendant. I seriously think it is unwise to lie about skills required by an airline that you may not have obtained yet.

Although you will be wearing a life Jacket when performing your ditching drills, it will be extreemly obvious to your trainers on the day that you can not swim.
The drill usually requires you to be comfortable jumping into the water and swimming a certain distance whilst pulling another person, keeping their head above the water. Although the Jacket will keep you afloat, it can be suprisingly difficult (even for qualified swimmers) to carrying out this task, because the jacket is big and bulky.
What would happen if you were involved in a real life ditching situation and (god forbid) you dont have a jacket on in time, and whoops, you cant swim! Never say "it will never happen to me"......just think about it. Not only are you responsible for yourself on the aircraft you are also responsible for many others safe return.

So my advise (and I use to be an airline trainer) is never lie about your skills, rather go out and obtain them before you go for the interviews, because the consequences will be far greater (not to mention embarassing) if Emirates have already invested money into your training, uniform, accomodation etc and then while you are there they find out you really cant swim.

On a happier note! Congratulations to Poppins and everyone that has been successfull with their Emirates application and I wish you Geetha the best of luck with your application, please feel free to PM me if you are unsure about anything else and I will do my best to help you out.

Happy flying :p

Well done!!
 

Thanks Moderator!!!
It is much better now, more clear.....when we have just a Emirates thread!

Best regards:
Elly

hey elly, did emirates end up calling u to start early?

I never did say that I don't know how to swim. And I also did not say that one has to lie about their swimming capabilties.
I was just trying to tell Geetha what the emirates recruiter told us as a group when we were filling up the forms where we had to mention if we know swimming or not. Amelita who was the recruiter said that even if we didn't know swimming we could just say on the form we did.
I was just answering her query and my answer no-where suggested that you need to lie. Being an ex-airline crew myself I have seen people who don't know swimming do the ditching exercise with as much confidence as a swimmer would do. But that's just my experience.

justsmile!
 

Did you get a call to leave a week early? I know someone who was scheduled to leave on the 29th sept and is now going on 22nd. The EK lady kind of insisited her to leave early.

Popins, I never said that you personally did not know how to swim, and I understand that you were told aparently by the recruiter that you could 'just say you did' (know how to swim) on the form (which unfortunately if you dont know how to swim is still a lie?). But the bottom line is, if you are required to know how to swim, dont you think it is better to be skilled in this area, since it is obviously there as a requirement for a reason?

I am very suprised that you knew Flight Attendants that managed to make it throught the training without swimming skills (this is not a reflection on you) because they are putting themselves and others (that trust the skills of the Flight Attendant) in a compromising situation, its just not safe.

OzyOS
 

In my last airline (SQ) they had a swimming test during the interviews but it was with a life vest. It was an option if you wanted to use it and if you knew how to swim than you cud do without it. And I know there were lot of girls who didn't know how to swim but did fine. Infact, later during the ditching drill also except for one everybody could do the needful.

Sorry am I being a bit thick here? Why is it so so vital to be able to swim to become cabin crew?

There are a lot of airlines which are fine if you can swim with a life vest on believe it or not.

If reading my above post doesnt help you to understand why its important....then I cant help you. What happens if you dont have time to put your vest on...or it doesnt inflate and you cant swim, sounds important to me. So many things can go wrong why wouldnt you want to protect yourself as much as you can...and the bottom line is most airlines, it is an Entry requirement.

Hi, Kristen.

no, they have never called me back...pitty,. i would be happy to leave earlier..but since they havent.,,i will enjoy my last days here.:)

Popins, did they called you?

Elly

Elly they did not call me but they called this girl who had gone to the interview with me. I am hoping they call me as I also want to leave as soon as possible.

Hey Geetha, I was actually a trainer for another airline, not Emirates, but assume the Safety training would be similar.
As long as you can keep afloat by yourself and feel comfortable in the water, you should do great!

I wish you the best of luck...go get em!

Cheers

Heya Elly
 

Heya Elly

Many thanks for bringing me back to this thread..:ugh: I am such a twit.

I am still curious about it how you guys start a new thread, anyhow no worries this is not important.^^

I have read through the employment letter and already replied with an email with my acceptance. I have yet to receive my e-ticket but reckon will do so over the weekends. They dont work on thursday and Friday.

Will keep you guys informed again. And about the 3 x 3.5 photos, it really weird ya the size. I had done all of them already.

Cheers:p :p

tk care..
GOD BLESS

Hi everyone, well it's getting nearer for some of you to fly out! I bet you're excited and on the flip side I know how you're parents are feeling!I cant believe this first week has gone so quickly, this time last Friday I was getting ready to go to the airport to say goodbye. Everytime I speak to my daughter she seems happy, yesterday was a good day, she said, they did some sep and went on the simulator! Next week it will start getting harder. She's off today and tomorrow(Fri & Sat), and she even met some guests staying in the same hotel who are from the same town in England as she is!You fly 1000s of miles for that!!!! I still haven't had a pic of her in her uniform, hopefully she'll send that soon, I want hat on as well! She said you have to wear your hat to travel to and from the college and the scarf "does her head in"! I suppose it's all new at the mo and exciting and there will be times when it gets hard and she feels down, but I'm sure it will be all worth it in the end!

Well as I said before, all the best to everyone flying out soon or trying to get in,
mother hen.

hi all!
 

mother hen
You are a real kool mom and thanx for the good wishes for those of us who are longing to join EK!!!

geetha

Sameangeline:;)
Hi, I have replied to the offer letter with acceptance, sent a fax , and now an email to confirm me that they got it. Now waiting for my ticket to by FexEx.

BTW did you complete the Online Corporate Induction? What is about? I havent, cause it keeps saying: incorect password. Very strange... :rolleyes: Somebody can give an advise???????:confused:

Geetha:
Thank you! Wish you good luck to you too!:ok:

Corporate Intro...
 

Hi Elly,
You must be getting excited - I am... I think we may be training together - did your offer letter state that you were to start on the 28th Sept?!! How cool if we are?! I fly out of Akld on the 22nd - next frid.... I'm getting my ticket, visa and final contract emailed - think it just depends which country you live in. I asked about the Online Corporate Intro and apparantly this password gets sent to us with the contract as well. Hope that helps and I'm looking forward to meeting u if we do end up training together!!:D

Motherhen-
you are wonderful - what a lucky daughter! You're making me really look forward to it all. Thanks so much ;)

elly
 

Hi Elly, mother hen again! my daughter couldn't get on to the online corporate intro so she emailed them and they sent her her staff no. It was just about the company and you answer multiple choice questions. It wasn't hard and all the answers are in the info you read anyway. As I've mentioned before, my daughter will still be training when you get there, you might even be in the same hotel as her, so you will have to say hello to her if you see her. Only if you want of course!

Best of luck to all, mother hen.

Mother Hen/ Newnz
 

Hi, Mother Hen.
Thank you for the info! I will contact emirates now, to see if they can send me a new password. :) I will be glad to meet your daughter. What's her name?

Newzn, yes, may be we will be in the same group. Yes, in my contract was stated that I will start 28-09, which is strange, since I'm flying on 29th. However.
Good luck dear!!!

Ok, dear friends!! See you soon.
Best regards: Elly

congratulations!!!
 

Popins, Semangeline, Newnz, Elly

You are deserve a pat on the back.Congrats on getting through and we (the wonnabes)will be joining the team soon....................ofcourse we need to pass the interviews first:rolleyes:!!!!

God bless you all.

Make EK and ppruners proud!!!
p/s: rem to keep in touch.

flyoneday :ok:

Hi all, Elly, on my daughters offer letter it said her joining date was 8th Sep (she flew out that day) but acctually started the training 2 days later on Sun 10th. I think Sun is their start od the week. Oh, and her name is Kaycie:)

And to anyone who it might be of interest to:photos- they asked my daughter to get hers done again but she was going on holiday so we took them with a digital camera, which were acceptable. The head and shoulders one we just printed from the computer in the passport size and postage stamp size and just changed the background from cream to light blue!
Hope this is of help to anyone, good luck all,
mother hen.

Hey guys!! This forum is really nice and I appreciate all of you who are trying to help others.
I got the offer letter today and had a question regarding the 4 photographs (size 3 X 3.5) needed with blue background. does it have to be in formal wear?
I get so intimidated by the attachments they send with the emails. But nevertheless they are very well organized and preofessional in their entire recruitment process.

Mother Hen: I like reading about your daughters experiences. Keep sharing them :)

photos
 

popins, regarding photos....as I said previously, the 3x3.5 ones my daughter used head and shoulders(the same as passport just smaller) we printed hers from the digital camera onto photo paper via the computer and just changed the cream background to light blue. I assume these were all fine as she hasn't said otherwise! Not sure if this helps,
good luck, mother hen.

Thanks Mother Hen that helps.

Hi, I have replied to the offer letter with acceptance, sent a fax , and now an email to confirm me that they got it. Now waiting for my ticket to by FexEx. Hi Elly.thank you for writing. You will get your ticket by Fedex?? Is this confirm by Emirates? I only know that they will send an e-ticket via email. I am scheduled on the 22nd flight and i think I should have received the eticket soon these two days. Please advise.

BTW did you complete the Online Corporate Induction? What is about? I havent, cause it keeps saying: incorect password. Very strange... :rolleyes: Somebody can give an advise???????:confused:I did not do the Induction. They didnt sent any staff number. I really wonder what we will get next. I keep you in touch soon once i receive anything from them. Now i am doing some packing. :confused:

Have you already received your e-ticket? I only received my contract, no password nothing. i reckon same as Elly. Nothing else. I think eticket and visa will come after the contract. Pls advise.:8 My training starts on the 28 September, so i reckon i will get to see you. ^^

Sameangeline
 

Hi, dear.:)

Actually they dont send you a password, it is actually your application and staaff number. Check your email- on the head line , where is written the day of joining, is mentioned your number. With this number you can access the web site.

About the ticket- mine is by FedEx, as Joanne from Ek called me and told me so. So, I'm waiting...:bored: But some people get E-ticket by email, which is the same, and easier.

Dont worry, eveything will go well! I'm sure!!!:ok:

Regards; Elly

Semangeline...
 

That's great news Semangeline - we MUST be training together! Actually, I wonder if my flight may come via Singapore and pick you up too? No, I haven't received my e-ticket yet. I've emailed them and this as well as the 'final contract', staff number, and visa will all be sent to me 3 or 4 days before I fly. Hope this helps. You can always email your HR co-ordinator (named in the contract you would have received about a week ago.) Mine gets back to me straight away whenever I have questions - very professional and helpful! Yay yay yay! Looking forward to meeting you!:)

!!:D Thank you NEwnz^^. I also fly out on the 22nd September from Singapore. Have you already received your e-ticket? I only received my contract, no password nothing. i reckon same as Elly.

hi there. I'm not yet interviewed by them. I've just send in my application a few days back. Hope to receive a call soon (fingers crossed & praying hard!!).
Well, I'm kind of used to the heat here... the hottest months are july, august n september. the temp goes as high as 47- 48 degree celsius. starting from oct... it comes down slightly. nov, dec n jan are the so called winter months in U.A.E. it doesn't get dat cold though atleast for the past two years now, its not been dat cold. and if u pray real hard u wud get an occasional spell of rain! ( and ppl do arrange for a mass prayer so dat it rains- seriously) .
Popins, Semangeline, Newnz, Elly : u guys r lucky dat u wud be comin here nw...u will escape the heat for a few months atleast....and by the time its summer u wud hav started flyin and it wudnt matter much.

Mother Hen: U r the BEST!!!! thanks a lot for sharing. Oh btw, does ur daughter get some amt of pocket money frm emirates for her expenses while she's under training? I'm sure sh wud be very excited abt her uniform... am wondering when will dat day cum whn i wud also be wearing it.

bye all
GOD BLESS
