Si ti tudi kislica?

Pri Slovencih sem dobila občutek da se neradi smejijo oz jim je to kar odveč. Morda posplošujem, zato grem kar k primeru.

V Ljubljani se usedem na kavo s prijateljico, prileti natakarica in naju niti ne pozdravi, dobiva le "Kaj bosta?" "Živjo, dober dan tudi tebi", saj se ne poznamo od včeraj. Ko ji odgovoriva, da bova še malo pogledali, vidno nejevoljno odide.

What is it like to work for Emirates airline?

Working for the famous carrier Emirates is a dream for a lot of people all over the world. Last year more than 200.000 people applied for a job as cabin crew with Emirates, but only 3 per cent where successful and received there golden call. 

Goodbye Dubai!

Almost two years and a half have passed and my decision about leaving Dubai was more than perfect as Clear Blue showed +.

Happy as I knew that my new exciting lifetime journey has started but sad at the same time when I knew that I had to say goodbye to my dear flying friends and that my flying part of my life has finished.

I can say that I don't have any regrets what so ever and that my time with Emirates was just right. I've traveled the word many times, I've been to places that I was just dreaming about and somehow I don't know how come I’ve got so lucky to have this experience.

I left Dubai more mature and more self-confident that I ever was and I realized that everything is possible in your life. 

If I could done it, you can do it too!!

Love it

Is it glamurous?-Yes it is.
Is it hard?-Of course.
Do I like it?-I love it.

I think there's no better job for me right now, than the job of Cabin crew.
I love traveling, I love working with people in different languages and cultures, I love summer and I love to smile!

And now I'm paid for doing it :)

Sand in my eyes

Adrenalin drive, sand in our eyes, burning feet because of the heat, smelly camels, tastefull dinner, shaking belly dancer, beautiful sunset and great company is how I wold describe my last weekend.
The most memorable driving through the dunes, up and down, the jeeps were nearly at about 90 degrees angle and drifting with a crazy driver was such an experience!

Almost done

Can't believe that I have only 9 days of training left and then I start the real thing!
These days have gone so fast, but I got a feeling like I just came.
I've passed the Safety and emergency procedures, Group medical training, Security training and now the Service will start. It's been really hard, I slept for about 4-5 hours per night, but I'm enjoying every minute of it.
I have my uniform and I really like it, it's so comfortable. Nowdays it's getting hotter and hotter and we have 43 degrees Celsius and huge humidity, and it's not even summer jet.

One step closer

Oooh can't wait for my first flight! Between take-off and landing I will sit in cockpit only with Flight Crew (Captain and First officer)-how exciting is that?!? I'm soooo looking forward for that!!
I finished my first step to becoming a Cabin Crew, SEP (safety and emergency procedures) is behind me. We've finished with ditching into water from our simulator A380 and it was fun fun fun!
Now new interesting things ahead us with first aid and medical assistance that also include child birth.
But now..beach time!

Crème de la crème

"You are Crème de la crème! You are the chosen and lucky one!" they told us... Last year 111.000 people applied for the position of Cabin Crew, but Emirates hired only 7.000, so I guess that I am the lucky one :)

I still can't believe it.. I'm in Dubai, between camels and Lamborghini cars, fulfilling my childhood wishes!! Yeeey, I can't wait to fly :)

Counting down
