Same for me 

I applied for Aircraft Technician and it’s showing PR Bucket from 9 Dec 21

Finger crossed 🤞 

Hey Martina. 

Looks like you are a former Emirates staff and you re angry with the company. I can understand you, I almost feel the same for my current company. There's no perfect company. And I haven't felt me as a staff, as precious for any company I worked for. This is business world, have no mercy. I am taking it professionally so far; trying to put away my emotions and be like them. I am here just trying to find myself another job in a non-perfect company like my current one. It doesn't have to be Emirates. Just, I ll do my best to find ways to solve my issues and I ll pay my labor to the company I ll work and get paid back what I deserve. 

Hope everything will be good for you, for all of us. 

Regards. 

Yes Mr ngager did u get any reply from EK / did ur Application Moved fwd or u r Still in that Bucket ?

Hey Martina. Nope. I haven't received any updates. It's still "currently reviewing all applications" And can't edit my application. Sadly, I don't expect anything for this position anymore. Actually for any position I applied in Emirates, Etihad, Air Arabia, Qatar Airways. They don't even respond to anything. I keep trying to find recruiters on Linkedin. I do but they even do not reply my private messages or even the comments I made under their posts. 

I told u before but u were little optimistic . EK is full of Arrogance ,they treat applicants as dirt .Not only u but there are few more whose status are pr bucket /under review etc .  

Applicants status remain like this for months till either u get rejection email or no response at all . may be u get a call also but when u join u would realize that others got a call in weeks or days but for u it took eternity and u would be junior to those who dont have even half of your experience.At present there own 25% redundant staff is still not absorbed . they are left to fend for themselves .

 EK runs on softwares, alogorithms , mathematics , formulas , fancy flow charts , artificial intelligence , they dont want normal intelligence. there is no room for any understanding and your emails or phone are never entertained .

its the same with all gulf cos, only degree differs . QR goes on displaying recruitment ads after ads  although in reality they are not even recruiting .

all I can say for  u hope for the best , as for me I moved out of this race .

You are absolutely spot on Martina.

I worked for Etihad as B1 trainee engineer and they seconded against my will because of the RSRS to a different department where I am totally wasted they refused to take me back when they started recruiting  and i was told i am over qualified, I asked for Technician position although I have Engineer qualification.

The other sad fact is that in the gulf region your nationality matters in the first place. I applied for all mechanic/ Technician ads I came across for the past year and I nobody cares to at least reply to me.

It is sad but this is reality.

Invest in yourself and All the best for you all.
