I emailed the form back 2 or 3 days after the advert went live. They replied within 24 hrs to say they had it. Fair play, and great piece of mind for me.
I'm still waiting for further info, I have Jet and TP time but I'm not yet a bus driver, so not holding my breath just yet. Being a Dubliner, I'm still hopeful to pull off EI at some point in my career. If I do, I know I'll be there for the long haul as I've never wanted to be anywhere else.
To those of you already on the bus, forget EI and apply to Emirates!
Good luck everybody!

From EI website;
Am I right in thinking that screening has only really started in earnest now that the door has been shut to new applications?
Or is that just wishful thinking???
