Jaye, it's so good to hear that!
I've been praying every day, for Emirates start hiring flight attendants again.
It's the company that i want to work, and i'm using that time to be more and more prepared for them!
Thanks for the news!

Hi, i am really happy to read this but i was thinking, if they gave their fa's 1 to 6 months of unpaid leave since may , 2 months only have passed, and if they did that it's because they had too many fa's right? so , why would they start hiring new people on august or sep? maybe many fa's will leave the company? or ... i don't know, what do you think about this?
XOXO besos!!

I think you may be right Milena I think August/September seems like wishful thinking, but maybe by the end of the year? My thinking is that August/September is only a couple of months away and surely if they were having training then they would have started contacting people to get medicals etc done again. I am starting with Etihad in August and they contacted me a couple of weeks ago, so I assume the timing is similar with Emirates.
I like Jaye's postivity though!
I've decided to accept Etihad's offer and not wait to hear from Emirates. No doubt as soon as I get to Abu Dhabi, Emirates will contact us again for training. But I just can't risk it....

Question for Skywards!
I have a question for Skywards.
Did you get accepted and withdrawn by Emirates before and
Are you asked by Etihad to work for them?
OR, did you originally get accepted and withdrawn by Etihad
And now working for them??

Sorry I should have made it more clear....I was given my DOJ in March with Emirates and it was withdrawn 2 weeks before it. Then I got offered a position with Etihad after an assesment day in March and I am starting with them in August.
Don't mean to make the thread all about me, just stressing about my decision!

Im not sure, the girl just told me that they're hearing recruitment will begin again around aug/sep time. Whether that means Emirates will start holding open days then so that by the time they've screened everyone and done all interviews/references/checks/medicals they will be ready to fly people out to Dubai by early next year or whatever i'm not sure.
but then again, she didnt say they have been told for definite. She just said senior cabin crew had told them they were hearing rumours that Emirates were hoping to be starting around the end of summer. But still, its better than nothing.
I think you're right to accept with Etihad though instead of holding out and hoping for Emirates. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush and all that

Im fairly sure spring in the middle east is the same as here so March/April/May. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see. Time will tell. I mean they have to start recruiting SOME time so we just gotta be patient and get on with our lives until they are ready
Hope its this year though lol I'm not getting any younger!

Does anyone know what Emirates are looking for when it comes to dental medicals? I was prescribed steroids a few years ago and a side effect of it means my teeth were weakened. I have had a few root canal treatments, a crown, have a lot of fillings and a few teeth removed at the back. My teeth are fine to look at and dont need any current treatment but Im worried that since they have had so much treatment in the past Emirates would fail me if I got through to the medical stages?
Anyone shed any light? thanks xx

Hi jaye! you don't have to worry about your teeth..so long as its in good condition and doesnt have some sort of a stain when you smile.. some ek crews have crooked teeth too. just keep it clean!
its all that matters!

hey Jeanie thanks for your reply!
I was also wondering what the score is with Emirates and scars? I was born with a cleft lip and have a small scar that runs from my nose to my upper lip (think Joaquin Phoenix). It can be covered with makeup but I think it is still noticable as friends or close aquaintances do occasionally ask me how I got it. I dont think its offensive to look at though. If anyone wants to see pics for more idea of what im talking about please pm me.
And if anyone has any info on how Emirates stand with facial scarring I'd love to hear it. Thanks so much

scars
Hi Jaye!
I have a scar on my cheek. Its also noticeable to my friends, but it was never a problem with EK! I think they focus more on your personality and your ability to provide excellent customer service for their customers!
Go ahead and apply once recruitment opens again, and i wish you the best of luck!

Hi jaye! well regarding your scar, i think for as long as it can be covered by make up that's fine. a lot of ek crews have zits and pimples and i guess its the same with having a scar on the face.
Emirates is after the presonality, the great smile and how well you accomodate the passengers!
I just read from another forum (of aspiring Flight attendants) that Emirates will start training again on Aug 20? Is that true? Well then, does that mean that they will resume their recruitment?
Can anybody confirm this to their EK friends? Lets keep our hopes up guys!!

ah thanks guys thats a big help
Also just wondering (sorry about all the questions!) do you think I should apply online now even though they have no OD/AD planned? Or wait til they announce one near me. Or not even bother since you dont need to apply for an OD?
Hope thats true about training, Jeannie! Would be great news for everyone who worked so hard to get through, psyched themselves up for starting their new lives, then had their offer withdrawn - I'd be heartbroken if that happened to me. So fingers crossed for you guys!!

i don't think that is true. if they were gonna start at Aug 20, they would have already sent out the emails for the hopefuls to go get their medicals done and such, so i think the information you got is not from a reliable source. i really hope it was though.....

I've heard that recruitment will start again in october... then i've found at PlaneSpottingWorld the production list of the A380 and the planned delivery schedule for Emirates:
Serial Number // Planned Delivery date
MSN007 // 2009-11
MSN023 // 2009-11
MSN025 // 2009-12
so... till december they're going to receive 3 new A380's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think it's gooood news!
Let's cross our fingers and hope for the best!!

so if they're gonna be recruiting by the end of the year (which it really looks like they will be) what are they doing with the peeps who worked their tooshes off to get through at the end of 2008/start of 2009? I mean some of them were just 5 or 6 days away from their DOJ and had the offer withdrawn. Are emirates not doing anything with them? I assumed they would be first choice for any vacancies and wouldnt have to go through the whole AD/FI thing again? or are they just starting again from scratch?

A friend who work as CC for emirates, told me that everyone is saying that the recruitment will start again in october... and i believe EK will re-contact those who are on hold before starting new OD's.
He also told me that Emirates staffed up in anticipation, like four months ahead of the need for cabin crews... and it also has to do with the accomodation, there are lots of crew members in temporary accomodations. Thats why all the open days have been postponed and also some staff upgrade courses.

wondering
it's great if EK will start recruit in Oct.Hope they do recontact us who got the withdraw offer asap.
Just wondering if that's the case,maybe they would need to let us know couple of months ahead(like now) as the medical will need to be re-done,No?
from Etihad's case,those who's DOJ in Oct has already been contacted !!
would be really appreciated if anyone get any calls or emails from EK,or contacted them recently could share some info here.
look forward to the good news.
