medical reimbursement
I received an email today from emirates asking what address I wanted the payment sent to. I emailed them back, so I guess we will see if they come through. I'll post on here again when I receive the check

hiring?
hi everyone! does anyone have any idea when the cabin crew hiring will resume?
I am just wondering..as per the "business meetings", emirates airline is still above the waters compared to other airlines, but how come other airlines such as Qatar Airways and Etihad Airlines are continuous hiring at this time?

Tiniviel
That's very sage advice, tiniviel.. a friend who works for EK told me that they are working flight attendants really hard because there are always people leaving but no new joiners are coming, a lot of them are getting just their mandatory 8 days off. Even without bidding for days off, this friend of mine used to have on average 10 days off per roster, and as crew now, days off are so precious. She told me that EK will start the hiring process in November, so let's keep our fingers crossed til then!

i heard a different story.
my friend who also works for the emirates got only 2 flights for april, and her friends did too.
we spoke today.
they are depressed and sad 'cause their salary depends on the number of flights.
people are going, that's right, but there are numerous routs that are being canceled due to problems in tourism sector (people don't travel that much with all this crisis going on) and some routs are still active but with flights reduced from 4 times per week to 1/2 times per week...

Just two rostered flights, gosh that's really scary isn't it.. to think that flying pay is part of the salary package.. is your friend Grade II or FG1? or are they SFS/purser? My source is FG1, maybe they have different rosters? She's going to 8 different places (5 turnarounds and 6 layovers) in april..!

Emirates Recruitment
So upon looking at the new improved EK website I see that the position for cabin crew was open to apply for Cabin Crew from the 26th March even though they have no open days planned once you get into the site further. 
But wait my friend in the UK just advised me that EK were having open days there as his friend was going to attend one of them ?????
Something new also that I never did see before the revamp of the recruitment site is that you must be between 20 - 30 years old for the position of cabin crew. Could that be why they dropped me from going because I am past this age group????
Oh yeah almost 2 weeks and still nothing back about medical reimburesment from when they said they would review.
I think I may tell them to keep the money and spend in on fixing their aircraft. I am sure they would respond to that in a hurry.

WTF???
they still have open days? how's that possible? how do people there (in the UK) know when and where to come if informations on open days are nowhere to be found...

Sorry to take this slightly off topic, but is this just for cabin crew, or all staff? Inc, ground & office staff, pilots, etc?

Considering that the pilots who are currently in the hiring hold pool have been told to not expect any new recruitment until Nov 2009, I'd say not to expect any inflight recruitment until late this year.
A few new 777s were delivered, and an A380 is expected to arrive in April. Two more A380s are supposedly due in November and an additional 2 in December (unless they get deferred by ek).
Technically they don't need new cabin crew at the moment as they can easily staff the flights to minimums, eliminating extra cabin crew on each flight while spreading them out on other routes.

Hi all!
Sydflyboy,
where did you see this age limit of 20-30 years for CC? i suppose by "current vacancies - national cabin crew programme".
that means it is for UAE nationals.
for international recruiting the upper age limit is still not officially declared, only the minimum, 21 years.

Recruitment
So the recruitment will resume November 2009? I hope it will start earlier than that..
but they are hiring UAE nationals at the moment??
what if you fly to dubai and directly apply there?
i know of some cabin crews who did that...

I wish that were possible.. "national" means the 15% of residents in the UAE who actually hold UAE citizenship. So unless you hold a UAE passport, don't even think about it!

Zerozol: Age Limit
Thanks for the clarification. I found it on one page that for some reason it wont let me go back to again now but was very curious when I read that part. As you mentioned being it was for National Cabin Crew that would explain it a little more. I only new the minimum was or close to being 21 by the time of employment with them.

My cousin flies with Emirates as CC and she said that she is very busy with full roster every month. All of her flights are busy too but she did say that some of her friends have experienced quiet flight more often than she has.
