I will leave from Madrid as it's said , I don't wanna be "pushy" . And Madrid is not so far from where I live so it's ok .

Just tell them that you came forward to the OD in Madrid but you're living in France (...your city). Give them the same explanation you've given to us. They won't have any problem to book you a ticket from Madrid or Paris, it's the same for them, but not for you Otherwise you'll have to pay the ticket to Madrid. It's just my opinion.

Ok Thanks you guys for your advices . I'll warn them that I'm from France, as we can bring 100Kg from our own country it's convenient for me =)

See you in Doha guys !

Hi everyone!

New to the forum but got an email yesterday saying I have been accepted for the position!! Going for medical tomorrow! Anything I should know before going? Lets hope it's all good!!



@PinkyPinky

I also emailed HR with no response so I phoned them and they told me to wait for a response by email!!.....Hmmmm.....We could be waiting a while I think!

Good luck for your training! I have my medical tomorrow so hopefull we will cross paths in Doha in a few months. Please keep posting your thoughts! I would love to know how you're getting on!

Good luck again!

2 days

Pinky, it's mission impossible!!!

(I think someone had mentioned that "2 days" before and I remember I thought that it was strange... They cannot be serious!)

They should know that as well...

Don't worry: write, explain (short!!! they are receiving hundrends of e-mails!), and send the results which you have and send the rest later. You had to wait weeks for their answer, they can wait a little bit more. They will make you repeat lots of stuff - as I read it here in this topic - , anyways.

What else could you do?!

[Francois]

Yes Mari that was me who had to do the medical in two days ! I have to confess that it's so difficult ! I like challenges but this one is very hard because it doesn't depends on me !

I have problem to get reports about my serology ( HIV VIH Blood Group ) only in English ! I think i will follow your advice after having explain to them ! =)

I've another question ... I received my mail on last Sunday and they say as you now know that I have 2 days to my medical BUT I only confirmed reception of their mail this morning . So do I dispose till Wednesday to complete the medical form or till tomorrow ???

Thanks ..

Dateline for Medical Check Up

This is weird. My post seems to have been deleted because I have been using "text speak".

@ pinkypinky

When something's are impossible doing it on allocated time frame then there is no harm by telling them firmly it's impossible. In my case they gave me 5 days to complete my medicals and I completed in almost 10-15 days. (by providing them actual explanation of course).

So tell them the actual reason and relax.

Ciao

[PinkyPinky]

Thanks Mari & stud_fac

Thanks for the advices I will do that. I just came back from the X-ray and my scoliosis is 15 degrees. I heard they accept the maximum of 15 degrees?
I will scan the x-ray report now along with the offer letter and passport, and email them by today.

Will also explain to them that I can only email them the rest of the medical report at the end of this week. Good?! Thanks again!

Open day in Dublin

Hi Arabella

I was at the Dublin OD and was successful. Getting my med done tomorrow. How did you do?

[jetstreamhoney]

Hi Dance in the Air,

Congrats for success. Just a quick question, when did you have your final interview in Dublin? I had mine in Manchester March 1 and still not heard either way

[dance.in.the.air]

Hi jetstreamhoney!

Thank you! I had my final interview on Monday 15th March and I heard in just under two weeks on Sat 27th March. But I have seen people on here writing that they heard up to five weeks after!! The waiting is tough but hang in there and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Did you swap numbers with anyone else at the Open Day in Manchester? Maybe get in touch with them if you have their numbers. Myself and a few other girls all received the email on the same day so this would be a good indication!

Best of luck!

Can anyone tell me what exactly the medicals involve please? I have mine tomorrow with my local Doc but I'll have to go to the hospital on a separate date for the x-ray etc....is that what you guys did? What else is involved eg ECG or anything else?

Any advice would really help!

Thanks!

[Francois]

To those who have got their offer of employment , do you what is our stuff number ??

Thanks .

[dance.in.the.air]

Thanks for the link!!

@Francois, I don't know my staff number either....Maybe they assign them after you clear your medical!?!

[jetstreamhoney]

Hi Dance in the Air,

I didn't swap numbers with anyone. I did find someone on one of these forums and they said they are still waiting. It's just a bit bizarre that some people really quickly and others don't. Do you know if the unsuccessful candidates from your interview day also received emails at the same time as you?

[dance.in.the.air]

@jetstreamhoney

No, some people didn't hear anything. The recruiters said that you would only hear something if you were successful. But like I said, some people were waiting up to five weeks!

[MikeJon]

Hi Everyone from Spain!

Iīm tentatively booked to travel in April from Madrid. Two days ago I was

extremely happy but now... now Iīm hysterical!

Here are my doubts:

1)I read the pre-employment medical instructions and it says that the ECG is for older than 50 years employees. Isnīt it?

2)This one is for future cabin crew members from non-english speaking countries: What do you do to obtain the medical reports in english?? I suppose that in Germany or Japan, every doctor knows english but that is not the case of Spain...

3)The recruiters said that we had to include in our aplication forms every job we had had since highschool EVEN if we didnīt have a contract. How can we get a certificate of experience from those employers many years from then? It would be kind of akwaard!

Thank you everybody, I will also try to dispel your doubts!!!

[jetstreamhoney]

Thanks. Will keep my fingers crossed and will post on here if and when I hear. Our recruiters asid that we would hear either way so will give it another week or so
Good luck with medical and training

[MikeJon]

One more doubt, when do you think we will fly to Doha? At the end of April or earlier?
