I would suggest contacting whoever was dealing with your application as I heard somewhere recently that they were gearing up for interviews again.

I don't know who was "dealing" with my application...

I have received two automated emails from EK, one telling me I've applied and one telling me I'm on the "shortlist" for an interview. (status on app still says "shortlist")

Is there a way to email someone specifically?

Hello mates,

Just to ask what's your current status on your profile from the website, because mine changed from "selected on hold"- to" under review".

I don't know what it really means because I was interviewed in April but I would like to know what's yours guys.

Thanks and happy landings:ok:

At a washup a few days ago , HR said courses filled til about FEB and that they have never had as mainly qualified apps as they have now. It will take some time to get through all of them. Recruiting has slowed due to the number of apps. Still on plan to hire @450 this year, Next years plan not done yet.

I have been changed to under review as well, all we can do is wait and see, could be good or bad, who knows, we will know when we get a call or an email. Good luck.

Hi guys,

My profile has changed to "UNDER REVIEW" as well....
Interviewed in May.

I do expect an email from HR this week to explain what is going on....as they do when they send "Emirates Update"....

Easy....

Interviewed mid march.

My app status has also changed from "fc selected on hold" to "under review."

Don't know if this is a big deal or not tbh.

Same here, early May and status changed to "under review".

No idea what does it mean.

same for me...mid may...

Early April. "Under review". The plot thickens...

is this "under review" good or bad news?

AFAIK? Otherwise good stuff!

As Far As I Know = AFAIK

I asked a teenager!

Hi there!

Well, they didn't stop the recruiting just focused on DECs, right? So maybe you saw the sim running but was for a DEC assessment, which means nothing for us the FOs :ugh::ugh:

Talking about AFAIK, a Spanish non English native understood it!!! :E:E:E

Haha. Nice, yeah I still type is out. I was thinking: Advanced flight integrated.. Then I got a brain ache;)

Archer,

Can you seriously stop complaining?? You are starting to annoy!! Seriously you like a child about this whole hold pool thing! There are guys in a worst state that you! Serioulsy mate, give it up. I hope i dont end up on a course with you!!

On a POSITIVE note all,

Under review just simply allows you to edit your profile Im assuming as I spoke to HR recently about not being able to edit my profile and a day later my application changed to under review. So my assumption is its really just to "unlock your profile" I may be wrong??:hmm:

Oh lord, tell me, you seem to know everything. Who is in worst situation than me and who is not?

Thank you.

Btw, whats my situation? Just to know.

Good luck!

please guys, stay on topic...
we are all waiting for news and we don't need to read about you bitching eachother!
thanks

Ok I see, you seem to know everything like our colleague.
It is a shame that you fly a plane not valid for EK.
But, tell me, does this flying in your plane give you € to pay the bills?
In this case you're right now in a much better situation than me.

Thats it, I don't need to be discussing my situation with anyone. I will comment in this thread positively when I feel it like this and negatively when I feel so, and thats it. No more explanation needed from my part.

Good luck to all.

Very interesting
 

Many months ago the HR person told me that they closed the online application because I was sucsseful so there was no need for it any longer...to cut a long story short, I'm under review as well. Very interesting...

When they changed our status to the "selected on hold" I was able to update my profile too.
So I don't think they need to change it to "under review" to allow us to update it.
Maybe they changed their mind and instead of selecting people strictly because of the date of interview they are reviewing the profiles and selecting people taking another kind of things into account. Some examples come to my mind: currency, total hours, performance in the assessment (skill showed in the sim, etc). It make sense that they need to take a while to "review" all the profiles, isn't it?

I remember some guy working at EK said in this thread long ago that they used this kind of parameters in the past.

I don't see the relation between the words: "under review" to "you can update your profile now".

Just a guess.

Did I read correctly?..14 DEC interviews, and ONE successfull??

got a call today asking about current situation / last flight / notice period.

Said they may call back in the next few days or weeks for Feb courses.

Interview late Feb.

Did any April or May guys get the call requesting a status update?

Any early-mid march guys get a call?

Early april... Nothing so far:ugh:

late April...nothing

Very late March - got called.

When were you called al murdoch?

It seems the swimming pool is starting to empty

I was interviewed late feb and has not been called. What type are you presently on Al Murdoch? It seems they are cherry picking at the moment..

I was called last week - just to update details and see if I was still interested, so not exactly fished out yet. Nevertheless I'm hoping for some better news in the next few weeks. I'm current on the 737.

There are 3 DEC interview sessions in November, not sure if they're mixing them with FO's.

Shortlisted
 

After getting shortlisted how long after they call you for interview ? Thanks

All119, I applied mid April, short listed a week after, and still waiting!! Things seem to be moving a bit as it seems.

Guys, the interview thread is here:

http://www.pprune.org/middle-east/49...tlist-fos.html

This thread is for people who have completed selection.

What sort of experience levels have short listed DEC's had recently?

This thread is for first officers who have passed selection.

Sorry for hijacking
