Obbie, you sound like a manager....if it's not being done my way it can't be right.

Think of the positive, this thread regularly drops off the front page, then gets propped up with some arbitary question, since the last dozen or so posts it has been at the top, nice and easy to find.

It's also nice to see the older (been here longer) guys sparring with the newer guys who are still coming to grips with the FIFO style of the place!

Relax a bit, we all need to :)

Obbie,
Please, PISS OFF YOURSELF. This a thread for guys wanting information about the pool. Other questions arise about lifestyle, rostering, etc. It ain't a bed of roses here, despite the recruiting shill. We are trying to prepare guys to not be blind sided when they get here.

Man, if you can't take the heat of this thread, can't wait for some of the trainers to get hold of you. Now that should be a hoot. And after a year, you will probably be on these boards daily saying what a bucket full of caca this place is.

Calm Down ladies please, lots of hyteria around here, folks are going to get removed off the thread and posts removed if you can't play nicely.

We are watching you.

By The Way, Any New Info About When Ek Going To Call The People From The Pool?
Thanks

waiting for news
 

I am still waiting. I did the interview in April last year. No news yet. Hope to get soon some more info.

I also interviewed in May last year and just holding my breath in the pool. I know that many people choose to join/ or not to join Emirates based on personal experiences. I am just glad that i do have a choice and will make the decision that is best for me and my family and that entails joining Emirates.

Best of luck to everyone in the pool and i am hoping we hear something soon.

If you are still flying A: hiring should start in the summer and B; think hard about leaving your present job, its not as bad as you think it is or flying longhaul/widebody is also not what you think it is. Do what is best for your family not you the pilot.



If you go 1 year without flying you might be dropped from the pool, I thought those people were told so.

New EK requirement.... Widebody experience?????
 

Is it true that EK is inviting to the interviews only pilots with widebody experience? I heard that from a pilot that works in recruitment. Please let me know if that is the new policy.

chofuan - true - last I heard they had a pile of resumes from pilots with heavy time and they will interview those first.

Are you guys serious about coming here? I fear for you!

What again ???????

TOPIC PEOPLE......STAY ON TOPIC !!!!!!!!!!!

Go vent somewhere else please !!!!!

Oh obbie - you just don't get it do you????????

Why cant we all get along. There are all different walks, different views, and everyone is in a different situation. Just try to respect that. Those in the pool have their views and anxiety, those at work in Dubai have their hurdles too. Respect that! Let go of the ego's and be thankful you can fly and dont have cancer..... or some other life threatning disease.

Just a thought:confused:

Kashima's right,all inputs are welcome,but if it goes personal it's confusing.Still guys anything about schools?

Latest I've heard is maybe June for bringing folks out of the pool as a/c deliveries continue. If your swimming, good news is that you'll probably go to the 777. I was hired into the other EK (bus side) and will probably vacate after just 6 months with the company. The company is overall good. There are people that love Dubai, and then there are people like myself. I wont be one that complains about a company (or pilot base)and not do anything about it. Dubai just isn't my cup of tea. EK is just another airline as far as work goes though, same good and same bad that you'll find in any other airline. Even with the higher starting pay, it just isn't high enough to counter the other factors. Call me insane in this environment, but life is just way too short to not seek hapiness. Maybe if enough like me go, we'll free up some spots for you that wait. My best wishes for you to find the hapiness I could not. EK will post a profit year ending March 09, and with the quality of flight/cabin crews they do have, I have no doubt they can do that even in this economy.

Geez, a level headed response about EK and how you feel about it. I didn't think that was allowed on pprune.

Hi guys,

I'm also in the pool since last june. Few days ago, got it an email from HR department asking for some answers concerning the pre-employment medical check. Have someone earlier in the pool than me got this mail also? I have 3 months notice period and not been informed about posible DOJ, so, I guess "june course" some of you talked, it's gone.

Any info concercing the "pool side" will be appreciated.

asia.....in the pool also, interviewed last July and also got the medical update. What it means as to as getting closer DOJ, I don't know. But what else can we do but wait. Atleast, we're still considered for future hiring.

I got the same letter. Been in the pool since last May. Hr must have been bored

I did my interview last April. Got the same email about the medical stuff. Still waiting for a date.
