Emirates
I have just received an invitation to an interview with Emirates in April. I haven't decided to attend as I applied along time ago and I have since been employed with a regional airline. I would really like to hear from anyone who can give me a little insight into what it's like to work for for Emirates and live in the Mid East. Is it safe, has UAE been affected by conflict in surrounding nations?

There is plenty of this sort of info regularly posted on the middle east forum.. .The short answer is 1. the UAE is as safe as/safer than Australia. 2. living here is a personal thing- some LOVE it, some HATE it. 3. it is rare to hear a bad word said about Emirates as an employer.

Hi Emirates applicants!. .. .I also applied online (and hated posting my full lenght! I just look sooo stupid in that one... well, same for the face and shoulders one after all...). .. .I don't know where they will interview, however my "computer generated answer" mentioned that if they do not contact me within eight (8) weeks, then I can get stuffed for the next 6 months.... .. .Aaaaarghhh!. .. .Mrs. FloatJockey. .. .------------------------------------. .I think we, wannabes, should get in touch sometime and exchange a few tips! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" />

If Emirates isn't your scene I was just on the Airtours.com web site and they need flight attendants. Getting 29 NEW A320 Airbus aircraft to their fleet of 49. I was there because I knew they needed pilots. They are expanding - plus all the extra flights they do in the Northern Summer - they have changed their name to MyTravel but <a href="http://www.airtours.com" target="_blank">www.airtours.com</a> still works.. .. .See you in Europe .... can't be all bad???

greetings from sunny sa..... i went for my interview 2 wks ago and the turn out was unbelievable .... over a 1000 people just on the first day... luckily i was there early (7h30 for 09h00) and we were divided into groups of 20 pax for our group discussion. our discussion was about anything that's been on the news lately that's touched us personally.... was great, unfortunately there was one very inconsiderate person who couldnt keep her mouth shut and wouldnt give anyone else a turn to say something. of all 20 pax only 5 got a chance to talk!!! luckily i got my chance, but i had to try 4 times!!!. very important to say something as they rate you on how you interact with people and on your appearance. we were all asked to leave after the discussion and were told they'll get back to us within 4 - 6 wks for 2nd interviews. if they dont call, the application has been unsuccessful. i really hope they phone. they apparently dismissed the applicants in the afternoon as they could not get to see them all.. .i believe it's really wonderful working for them... they really look after their staff.. .i think the 2nd interviews will be gruelling tho.

Hi existing Emirates crew.. .As you no doubt are aware a lot of Ansett employees want to apply to Emirates. A lot of us are in the 30 -35 age bracket. Is this likely to be a problem?

Hi B.Mac. .. .I'm a Wannabe, and do not have any inside Emirates info, but on the Flight Dux website it said the max age for Emirates is 31, although on the Emirates website there is no mention of an age restriction. . .. .If anyone can confirm this it would be most helpful.. .Thanks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" />

I posed this question to recruiting and they said " Without experience, the age restriction is not negotiable." So I guess that means if you have experience they will look at you.
