🥰

Well, in this case - yes😂

🥰

Cabin crew, pilots, ship crew are the most common) I have a plan to do a video about the best jobs for free travels, actually 😁

Believe me, it wasn’t just about pink, blue, or green 🙈 Before every departure, we had an Image and Uniform officer who ensured we met strict grooming standards. If anything was off, they would stop you and expect it to be corrected before your next flight. They were incredibly particular, especially with blond crew members, often scrutinizing the exact shade of their hair. For example, a friend of mine, who had naturally highlighted hair, was stopped and told to dye it because they assumed her highlights weren’t natural. She had to fight to prove otherwise. The Image and Uniform standards at Emirates were no joke. I even dyed my hair back to my natural black before joining to avoid any issues😬 During training, there was a girl with dyed red hair who was asked to return to her natural color, even though her dyed hair looked very natural to me. So, they are really picky 🙈

We lived in such a fast-paced city for so long, so it’s nice to just slow down here where nothing feels rushed) We’re planning to stick around for a few years, so we’re all about taking it easy and enjoying the chill vibes😁

No, they are hiring up to 28 without problem, so your age shouldn’t be an issue))

Well said 👏

CV with a passport size photo will be enough, if they need anything extra they will ask for it)) But you can take all the photos just in case 🥰

Thank you 🫶

Hey) I’m not a recruiter, so I can’t say for certain if this might affect anything in the future. If you’re able to contact Emirates or the third-party hiring company to reschedule your assessment day for December, that would be the best option. They definitely won’t blacklist you, but I’m not sure if it might affect getting an invitation to another assessment day. If it does, you can always try attending an Open Day instead, as no invitation is needed for that😊 Best of luck 🍀

We have few friends here also in aviation, so should be fine, but it’s always nice to have a community 😊

Thank you) Yes, we find Canadian in general to be really nice and friendly people 🥰

Oh, that’s cool, thanks) If you ever run into him, say hi 😁

@ I would also suggest to your husband getting a job on the ground at a regional airline in Winnipeg. Fast Air, Perimeter, Calm Air, Keewatin, etc. They will hire him at 250 if he puts at least 1.5 years of work in on the ground. He won’t be able to fly for them at 250 without any ground work for them.

@@fly_with_josh250 flight train hours ?

@ yep

@@francescomerinowarnakulaso9968 🥰

The Emirates Flight Training Academy program is two years long and costs over $180,000, which is pretty expensive. You graduate with around 250 flight hours, but here’s the catch: only Emiratis get direct entry into pilot positions with Emirates after finishing the program. For international students, you need at least 2,000 flight hours to even apply, so you’ll still have to build up your hours somewhere else after graduating. My personal opinion, for international students, it’s just not worth it. You pay a lot and still don’t get a guaranteed job with Emirates. For example, Air Arabia Cadet Program do offer job opportunities after graduation, even for internationals. But they’re also really expensive, so we decided to go with something more affordable 😁

Thank you so much ☺️

Hey)) I’ll definitely keep this topic in mind and might cover it one day, but unfortunately, I won’t be able to do it before your assessment day😬 Read about open body language, it might really help. Wishing you the best of luck 🤞 Let me know how it goes afterward, I’d love to hear about your experience)

Glad you like them 🫶

Whether it’s an Open Day or Assessment Day usually depends more on the location than the time of year. For example, Dubai only has Assessment Days, and it’s the same for Philippines or India, for example. In Europe, though, it’s mostly Open Days. I actually counted the upcoming events out of curiosity-there are 82 Open Days, 55 Assessment Days, plus weekly Assessment Days in Dubai until the end of the year. They hold a lot of recruitment events every month, and the numbers are pretty evenly spread)) So no need to way for January 😁

Thank you too🫶

Glad it was helpful🥰

That was my goal 🥰

Canadian pilot licenses are much closer to EASA standards, so the conversion process is way easier and less expensive compared to a South African license. For us, that was a big deal since we plan to move back to Europe someday, and we wanted a path that made the transition smoother and opened more international opportunities. It’s also much simpler to convert to an American (FAA) license because Canadian licenses follow similar standards, requiring fewer exams or adjustments. I’m not saying the South African license is bad or that it’s impossible to fly with it. The key point is that you’ll need to convert it to the license of the region where you want to work (Europe, US, Canada, Asia, etc.), and that process can be quite expensive, so it’s definitely less affordable overall. That’s why we chose to go straight for the Canadian license-there’s no need to convert it to start looking for a job in Canada, and if we decide to move in the future, the conversion to a European or US license will be faster and less expensive))

⁠@@JetstreamGingerwow thanks for sharing this information. I was wondering about that. What about becoming a pilot in UAE itself ?

@ you can, but it’s really expensive 😬 The Emirates cadet program is mostly for locals. You could consider the Air Arabia cadet program, but it might break your bank 😂 However, pilot salaries in the UAE are very high, so if you have enough savings for a cadet program in the UAE, it might not be a bad idea)

​@@JetstreamGinger I did not mean that the South African license is bad, just the fact that it is high caliber given its affordability compared to others. My apologizes, I did overlook the fact that you intend to return to Europe in the future and in that case it is easier to convert it to an EASA license. To convert the TC to the FAA license it is indeed very easy and absolutely no headache. Good luck to both of you 😊

@@ilyasait9346 thanks a lot 🥰

Hey, thanks😊 My husband is 27 now. Being a pilot is a well-paid job, but getting there takes time. To land a job with a big airline, you need to build up hours first and that process is long and definitely not glamorous 😂 I’d say go for it if it’s truly your dream and passion. If you’re just after the money, you can easily earn the same (or even more) in marketing if you become a top specialist. But if you’re like my husband, who’s dreamed of being a pilot since childhood, worked hard just to save up for the license, and is ready to start with a small airline and a modest salary to build hours, then yes, follow that dream😁 Good luck with whatever path you choose🫶🍀

We’re planning to stay in Canada for at least 2-3 years. Once my husband finishes flight school, he’s hoping to find a job at a small regional airline to build up his hours and get his ATPL. After that, it’ll be the perfect to go for a pilot job with big airlines like Air Canada, WestJet, Porter etc. But let’s see how it all goes 😁

I love your comparison analysis video between countries to become a pilot. I live in Quebec Montreal, and I’ve been thinking to become a pilot here. Winnipeg is much cheaper than the west of Canada I believe for such a thing however, the downside of training in Canada is the bad weather, but it’s one of the most respected countries to become a pilot I think.

@ actually, one more reasons we chose Winnipeg is because it gets around 316 sunny days a year, compared to Vancouver’s 289, for example)) The higher number of sunny days in Winnipeg provides more consistent flying conditions, which is advantageous for obtaining a pilot’s license 🥰

We’re Ukrainian, so cold winters don’t really scare us😁 In fact, we love snowboarding, so we’re actually excited to swap the constant heat for proper seasons) From what we’ve seen, Winnipeg winters are pretty similar to what we’re used to in Ukraine, at least temperature wise))

@@Nourrannn I totally understand how you’re feeling, and it’s so important to listen to yourself. If this is still your dream, keep going, but if it doesn’t feel the same anymore, maybe it’s time to let it go and see what else is out there. The job has its perks, but it’s also physically and mentally demanding, and not everyone talks about that side. Trust your gut, and whatever you decide, I’m sure it’ll lead to something great 🫶

@@scwappycoco I explained in the video why we didn’t choose the US. As you mentioned, in the US, obtaining an ATP is required to enter commercial aviation, which means you need to work as a flight instructor for quite some time to build up the hours needed for an ATP. In Canada, however, you can work as a First Officer with just a CPL, as only Captains are required to have an ATPL. This allows you to build your hours while already working as a First Officer. We chose Winnipeg because it has few small regional airlines flying to the North that hire pilots with as few as 250 hours. In fact, our friend works for one of these airlines and was hired with that amount of experience. Of course, we’re realistic and understand that no one gets hired by Air Canada or WestJet with just 250 hours. However, since these regional airlines offer lower salaries, there’s less competition, making it possible to land a job. That’s why we’re here))

@@JetstreamGinger I see your point. Its just that ATP program in USA is fast vs doing it in Canada takes more than 2 years even if you are doing it full time. He can finish everything in 8 months in US, convert his license FAA to TC and work in Canada. Unless you dont have a Canadian passport, do consider US. All the best to your husband. Just out of curiosity, would he want to work in a major airline in Canada or once he gets the relevant experience, apply to one of the airlines in middle east? The compensation is very good in Middle east compared to Canada for pilots. Also since there are no videos on youtube on pilot life and schedules in Emirates, would you care to give me some info regarding that. What was the general mood amongst pilots when you spoke to them. Were they happy and wanted to make a career out of Emirates? Looking forward to your answer. Maybe even a video on that topic!😃

I have a video about, but long story short - my husband is doing his pilot training here)

​@@JetstreamGinger great

@@Vibewithvaishu_ check my videos about Emirates, I have 3 really specific on this topic: how to apply, open/assessment day and final interview)

@@BERROU2023 thanks 🥰

@@awoken_wolf one day for the open/assessment day and then they will schedule final interview only for another day (it’s around 30-45 minutes long) ☺️

@@MarielaRodriguez-i7o yes, they can stay in your accommodation as long-term visitors from your first day there, you just need to create a request for them for specific days)

Thank you 🫶 I missed you in my comments, Mihj 😁

sorry

@ no, don’t be 😅

@@nataliaveronica8756 I’ve never heard of any extra English test, it wouldn’t really make sense since Emirates already spends so much on you (visa, flights, accommodation, welcome pack, etc.) That said, the training is all in English, and it’s not basic, you need to be fluent to keep up and pass the exams. There are quite many tests during Training College, and if you don’t pass, they can send you back. So, I’d definitely recommend brushing up on your English and making sure you’re confident before joining))

@JetstreamGinger Thank you for replying, you are so kind🥹🩷

@@nataliaveronica8756 always ☺️
