Hey, I would like to know is there any maximum age requirement. like hidden policy?

Does stretchmark matter? I've stretchmarks on my calves and I'm afraid EK won't tolerate this kind of things and also I've a cafe au lait spot on my neck just as big as a small coin. Does it also matter? Thanks!

Unofficial age limit 32, I have met very few who joined after that age unless they had already airline experience, supervisors etc...

But you will not find it written anywhere except when they use a recruitment agency.

And tbh, you don't want to start there after your 30s as it's not an adult working environment, sharing apartment etc in your mid 30's....

Why don't you discuss the REAL Emirates, the long delays, the crap crew food, minimum rest, busy rosters, low morale between crew....

Your blog paints an incorrect picture of what it is really like to work for them. Having worked for them for 12 years, I am still hoping to see your ideal lifestyle to fruition....

Great source of info, thanks for sharing

I cannot get this website to work. what page did it bring you to?

What is life like with emirates?

thanks

Make of it what you will, but more than 1000 crew arrived en masse at the Emirates HQ yesterday to complain to management regarding issues which have long been a concern.

Reportedly there were more but EK management had security close access to prevent anyone else coming in. Several videos were uploaded to youtube which were since removed of management being booed by the assembled crowd.

I have never heard of anything like it before (as this sort of thing is technically illegal in the UAE) so it must be getting bad if crew are willing to risk a 'public assemblage' of this nature.

I second this!
Resigned a couple of months ago and its the best thing I ever did!
You dont realise how bad it is until you get out of it.
Glad to hear your views though
