After 8 very intensive weeks of training at Emirates Aviation College, I am now a fully certified Grade II Flight Attendant. Not only was I trained in the importance of proper grooming and how to apply red lipstick, but I can now restrain a passenger, save a life, deliver a baby, respond to a crisis, and of course... serve tea and coffee! I have thoroughly enjoyed learning new skills and practicing old ones, and have been very impressed with the level of responsibility the company places in us. When we are flying we have to be prepared for any situation as ultimately everyone’s safety and comfort is our priority.
I graduated on July 19th, along with 80 other new Flight Attendants, most often referred to as 'Cabin Crew'. If you've followed the news over the last few months, you'll know that Emirates recently purchased a large amount of the new SuperJumbo Airbus 380's, the worlds largest aircraft. These aircrafts will begin arriving early next year, and therefore Emirates need to be fully prepared with qualified staff to crew these monstrous vessels. Every week now over 100 crew are graduating in preparation for 2007. Emirates currently employ 7000 Cabin Crew, and
recruit from 113 different countries.
