6 March DOJ Withdrawn
No smiles for me....
Got the email this morning...offer withdrawn. I don't even have any words apart from disgusted.
So now I'm short $1000, and feel completely ripped off. I have absolutely no faith that they will email us when courses open, they clearly haven't given a
about us up until now. Why would they start caring in 6-9 months.
Guess we won't be meeting anytime soon lewie...

What do you think of Emirates?
Hi everyone,
I got my withdrawl for thier offer of employment and decided to start this blog to get everyone's experiences, feeling and opinions about what you have gone through with respect to emirates recruitment, hiring, and training. I personally spent thousands of dollars to get medical approval only to get an email informing me that they had withdrawn their offer. Please feel free to speak your mind and share your experience.
You can be anonymous if you like.
Hope to see you there!

No doesnt look like it skywards! Sorry to hear that guys - I havnt heard of anyone on our DOJ who didnt get it.
I think that romell may have a valid explanation for some of the things that have been going on.
Im personally not mad with emirates about the fact that they have had to do this it not their fault....BUT their communication and the way they have chosen to do things has been very poor. I personally wont be hanging around for another offer - i have done enough waiting already. If they offer me a job later on and i am in a position to accept i will consider it but not if i have to pay a cent toward my medicals.
Just remember if you are going to call and abuse anyone in HR that they are just the messengers and chances are thier jobs are on the line too.

I'm really sorry to hear that guys.... it's a real disaster!
Thing that puzzles me is that after my final interview and getting all nicely done, I would just like to have some feedback, some kind of contact which I do believe would be the very least they should do.
This is killing me, I would just apreciate to get a 'no go' email, just to get into a diferent frame of mind....

Advice to Ek Wannabes from an Ek gal
Hi guys... feeling for you at the moment, i know there is nothing worse than waiting on a phone call and then when it finally comes it is not what you are wanting to hear. From past experience i can tell you this.
Working for Emirates is a fabulous way to see the world and get cashed up doing it, though you have to remember that you are just a tadpole with a number at this stage. Even when you have graduated your training you are still just a number. Working for a large company is always like that and you cant be mothered through the process. You have to be willing to do as your are told, be patient and for heavans sake dont shoot the hand thay may feed you by writting an abusive or disgruntled letter to HR. The airline industry is extreaminly fickle. Its either all or nothing. Eiether desperate for crew or not hiring which in the last 5 years as far as i know its unheard of. Don't be putt off. Spread your eggs into different baskets and apply for other airlines such as Ethihad. The more applications the less desperate you will be to hear from EK. They have a heap of the new A380 planes coming and with the high turn over of staff they are always needing new crew.
My tip is to:
Spread out your applications to other airlines
Be pleasant and patient and dont hassel them with emails, they would be swamped with applications, if they have all your details and have liked you enough to get you to the stage of an offer then let it be until they open up the flood gates again.
I hope you all find this very useful. I am happy for anyone to drop me at email at flygilrfee81 at hotmail . com if you want to ask any questions re working for Emirates, conditions, what accommodation is like, layovers etc. I know what is is like to be on the outside waning to know more info and what it really is like on the inside so shoot me something and i will most likely send you an email back. Good luck to you in the future and remember. Chin up, its not the end of the world!!

I'll be interested to see if anybody with a DOJ of March gets through, or whether all training from March onwards has been cancelled. By the sounds of it, everyone on here with a DOJ of 6 March has had their offer withdrawn. Anybody with DOJ of 13 March heard anything yet?

Hi Alkatifa,
We meet also here...
Why don't u try calling HR again?
You have to be persistent if you wanna get through and get any kind of response from them at least you will know where you would stand!
Skywards: I have DOJ as 13 march and there is also tiniviel with me and I still didn't get any response after submitting medicals 3 weeks back..
I have understood that all the other guys who already got final approvals well before this terrible ordeal are gonna fly anyway on feb 20th, after being put off from feb 13.
Congrats to all those who got in and wish u all the best at the training..
Very happy for u guys!

I've been reading this thread for the last few days, and I feel really, really sorry for all the people who got the withdrawal email. I understand that the economic situation is unfavourable, but wouldn't that be predictable? In such a way that they could do less recruitment assessments before hand? The global economic crisis (that many companies use it as an excuse for every kind of cuts) is not new, it's coming from last summer. Do Emirates just found now that they are being hit by the crisis? Or even before that! Such a big growth always made some confusion in my mind.
I can understand that companies must cut in many areas of their operations, if they want to survive, and the first ones to know that must be employees, the company's success depends fundamentally on people's ability to work hard (and well). But the real problem here is that many people are given the chance to dream, or better, to see their dreams coming true. And suddenly those dreams fall down! It's easy to say to never loose hope, to try other jobs, and the same is said by me, but to be on these persons skin it's impossible to imagine. Worst than that is to spend lots of money in medicals and receiving a withdrawal email on the eve of moving.
For us, spectators, there's nothing we can say or do to give our support to this guys, except to give a virtual hug. I know that are worse things in life, and recently we've been watching what is going on in Australia, it's hard to imagine such suffering. I know it's nothing compared with a dream job rejection, but deserves attention also. People desire a lot for a certain job, get it, and suddenly loose it. It's a dream coming true, people have to change a lot of things in life, quit jobs, prepare all logistics to go to a completely different culture. And suddenly they "wake up" with bare hands.
A special message to Alkatifa (by the way, a great nick
), because he or she is portuguese like me, and whish you all the best. In case you don't know Etihad will make an assessment in Lisbon on 17 Feb.For all of you that are waiting for any kind of answer I also wish you all the luck needed. For the guys that received the no go email, keep trying on other companies, never loose your strength. To win you must fight hard. It's what I'm doing. Last wednesday I had an interview for a UAE company (but to work in Europe) and beside the interview didn't went so well, I still have hope. And it's a great job also! Fingers crossed for all of us. And sorry for all this speach, I'm latin, and latins speak to much!
Cheers

greeting!
just signed in to tell you that you are not alone!
my DOJ was TODAY: 13-2-09. few weeks after sending me that information, they contacted me to tell me that it was changed into 24-4-09.
that sounded smelly...but i didn't react.
yesterday I got THE mail you're all talking about.
they said nothing about 6-9 month (can that person copy-paste that mail???), but they did say that they are very sorry and that they just don't need new crew members due to a global crisis. of course, 'we'll re-contact you when we get dates of our next courses confirmed' ... i guess we all got the same e-mail. (exept that person that's talking of receiving an a-mail in which 6 to 9 month period is mentioned )
now, here's what i don't get... if it is all about the crisis, and it's not us (after all, we all did sign the job contract, or 'the declaration' as they call it), then how come some people are going after all? don't remember the nicks, but some guys few pages before, are departing next week... did i get that right? there was some talk about receiving their visas...?

The answer is ...
BEAUTY no seriously, im sure that ek has set a time line for recruitment and im guessing that they withdrew most of the contracts of doj that are after feb. in my case, i have been told by a cabine crew that arabic speakers have the first priority due to lack of arabic speakers in their staff..
