Cape Town open days
Does anyone know if EK have had or are supposedly having any open days in Cape Town some time this year? I realize that they probably won't start recruiting until the end of the year, however, is there any way of getting your CV out to them so as to be one step ahead, or shall i just wait until it says something on the website about new jobs etc?

positive developments?
Ok so hot off the heels of the announcement that EK won't be delaying any deliveries till 2011, is the outlook for potential new joining crew any brighter from what you guys have heard? Or is this announcement neglecting to mention that while delivieres won't be delayed, EK will also be retiring/returning existing air frames thereby keeping the fleet at it's current (or slightly bigger) size? Is it also true that EK now have minimum crew on their aicraft? If so, what are differences in crewing now compared to before? How many crew does a full 3 class A332 go out with, for example? or 3 class 773?
Thanks to anyone who can help!

crew dependcy depends on destination etc and covering doors, e.g. 8 doors to be covered, purser and maybe 1 sfs total of 10, it all depends on staff shortage as they have given crew time off A330.
B777-200 could be 10 again to cover doors, or B777-300 12. Hope that helps x

"Withdrawn-wannabe"
Hi guys!
I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and applied for CC with EK last year. I too got the sad withdrawal notice by January '09. I'm applying again, though.
My question is: has any of you heard any gossip regarding further Open Days around the area? I've registered at their website, but the only date they've posted is February 2009, which, as you may have noticed, has already gone by.
</sarcasm>
Well, back to my Arabic lessons...
(yup...stubborn MoFo...)

Emirates hiring cabin crew within UAE?
I heard that Emirates is still hiring cabin crew albeit only in the UAE...is this true? If so, are they only hiring UAE nationals through these open/assessment days in Dubai, or is EK also hiring international crew but only through open days in Dubai? Any clarification would be great, might be moving to Dubai in August, and would gladly leave my job for an EK crew position should I get it (and should they be hiring).
On an unrelated topic, if and when they do start hiring again, did they traditionally hold open days in Dubai, or did they only hold those internationally? Are there certain locations where it might be easier to get an in as crew than others? (say a certain city like Sydney might have a huge turnout so more competition/easier to get lost in the crowd, while a city like Kiev might have less attendees so its easier to make an impression).

Hot News
Hey Guys,
I had word from one of the last and (luckiest!)guys to join EK and he told me his was the last batch too..
Rumor has it that recruitment will start in September and that there are 5000 on hold!
Hmmm....Let's get our act together and bombard them with calls during that time!!
Peace!

Going through the recruitment process again
Hi! I'm from Argentina and I went through the whole recruitment process late last year, including the final interview. I was never confirmed nor was asked to do my medicals, though.
Instead, I received an email (just like many other people did) saying that due to "current aircraft crewing requirements" they must inform me that on this occasion I have been unsuccessful, and that "this is no reflection of you as a candidate as you did demonstrate potential through our process".
What I take from this is that I did meet all the requirements, but due to the current global situation, they put us all on hold, am I right? I read some posts here saying that Emirates would probably start calling those who already sent their medicals and got their applications withdrawn at the last minute.
But, does anyone know if they will also call those who are in my situation? (the email I received says that "(the Emirates) team will look to make contact with you in approximately six to nine months time to see if you would like to reapply to join our international Cabin Crew team", so I guess they will.
In that case, will we have to go through the whole process (open day, assessment day, final interview, etc.) again? Bear in mind that I did NOT receive a confirmation from Emirates; I was just waiting for the confirmation email when I heard from them with the above information.
Is anyone else here in the same situation as I am?
Any information will be really appreciated.
Saludos!

Pinky that's great news, hopefully it's true! But with the 5000 on hold, would this include people like ccARG (above), or are there 5000 people like us who had done the medicals and had a DOJ? 5000 is a huge number...surely they wouldn't go from no recruitment to taking on 5000, so I wonder how they would select people? I am waiting on Etihad who say October, but I still really would prefer Emirates....hopefully your news is true!
Sorry ccARG, don't know what my situation means, let alone what yours does! Wish we all knew more!

5000 on hold
Hey Skywards! Yes, I know... As if it wasn't hard enough to find out what will happen to those who got their applications withdrawn after they were given a DOJ, I imagine it's harder to know what will happen to those in my situation 
About those 5000 people on hold that pinkylicious mentioned, I think (this is my personal belief; I have no firm data for this) that they include those in my situation as well; not only the ones who sent their medicals and received a DOJ.
Whatever the case, I hope we can all make it to Dubai as soon as possible and without going through the whole process again.
Good luck to everyone and let's keep sharing whatever information we might come across.

ccARG, were you, by any chance, pre-selected by TopFly before going to the Emirates Global Assessment Day?
Were that the case, the agency would eventually provide its candidates with a recommendation letter, detailing (our) application status. This is still unconfirmed, I'm trying to get some more information from them.
It would be a pain to go again through the same process; I had to sacrifice 2 days at work, for which I eventually got fired from my previous job
Going straight to the final interview would be nice, indeed.
As soon as I have news for Argentina, I'll be posting to this thread.
In the meantime, patience and hope.
Oh, and fernet, of course!

:ok: 5000 on hold
indigoCat, yes, I was indeed pre-selected by TopFly before attending the Open Day and later the Assessment Day.
If your -still- unconfirmed data turns out to be true, that would be GREAT news!! Like you said, it would be really a hassle to go through the whole process again, with the risk of getting eliminated when you have already been successful all the way through the final interview not too long ago. A recomendation letter from the recruitment agency will surely come in handy
Sorry to hear about your getting fired from your job for missing just 2 days
Just to make it clear, what's your current situation? Did you attend a final interview? If so, did you get a confirmation, DOJ, and then got it withdrawn at the last minute?
I made it past the Open Day, Assessment Day, and had the final interview. I got the dreaded email while I was waiting for an answer from Emirates HR team. However, the email clearly says that my not being successful does not reflect my candidate profile, but it's just a result of the current economic crisis, and they hope to re-contact me (and everyone else who received the same email) within 6-9 months to ask if we're still interested in working for the airline (which of course I am! LOL)
Keep posting whatever information you may come across and don't ever lose hope, we will all meet in Dubai eventually
Saludos!

Hi there,
I got the same e-mail as you. I had my FI on the 19th January. What I think is, they will re-contact us when they start recruiting again, but... I think we will be asked to attend AD and just skip the OD. It would be too beautiful if they invited us only for the FI.
Don't get me wrong but... our e-mail does say NO any way
And they didn't mention anything about crisis in it.
But we will meet in Dubai!!!
cheers guys!!

As far as i know, if they email you saying they'll recontact you in 6 to 9 months, means you weren't successful after the FI. For my case, I had a DOJ and was withdrawn after i did my medicals. I didn't even get a chance to send it over. LOL. All we can do now is wait for a happier and more pleasant email.

They also send a different e-mail to other people in which they say "you have been unsuccessfull (...) you can try again after one year". That definitely means you didn't make it through the FI. But don't you think in the first case ("we'll recontact you") they liked what they saw, but couldn't take it.
In my case... I made it to the FI among 23 people who were chosen from 230ppl. Imagine, none of us got a "congratulation" e-mail. What's more, our OD was the last one this year, after it they cancelled all OD.
Or, maybe I'm just fooling myself by believing I was perfect and it was just a wrong timing???

Sorry
I'm sorry that was a little bit selfish from my side.
Your situation is much more complicated Soulatude, but here is the thing. You can be sure, they will just ask you to re-do medicals and there will be no need for them to put you through FI again (unless your FI was more than 12months ago). They already know you're great.
So all of you guys, don't worry!!!
It'll all be good, just stay positive and...enjoy the life!
And remember, when God closes one door He opens a window, just have to find it And I know there is going to be a wide open one for you at the end of this year!
We'll all "Fly Emirates"!!!
