A380 Here I Come!

I have just checked my e-mails and found the following in my inbox:


Dear Tobias

Congratulations!

We have now completed the selection of crew to join the A380 fleet. I am delighted to confirm that with a great performance record and your manager’s recommendation, your application has been successful.

Selection for the A380 team was exceptionally tough and your success is a great achievement. You will join the A380 fleet as part of the Business class team. You are going to be part of a whole new era in air travel and one of only a small group of people within the entire industry who work on this aircraft. This is such an exciting time for aviation, for Emirates and now for your career as cabin crew.

We expect delivery of our first A380 aircraft by the end of the summer and the second aircraft will arrive shortly after. You will be one of the first crew on these aircraft. The training will comprise of two weeks training at the new Cabin Crew Training Centre, where we have full size models of the A380 cabins to facilitate your preparation. More than ever, the professional standards of service that Emirates is known for must be delivered on the A380. We have therefore included a number of activities and training modules which you should consider before even commencing your training. Details of these and all training dates will be advised to you very shortly.

The A380 is a fantastic aircraft, with the very latest technology used in its design and our very latest products and services on board. Our aircraft will be amongst the very first in the sky and our customers, the media, the entire world, will therefore have the very highest expectations of us. You have been selected because we are wholly confident that you can meet and exceed these expectations.

I know you will find this a rewarding and enjoyable career move and I wish you every success.

Yours sincerely


Jo Burke
Manager Cabin Crew

Hey Toby, I love your blog to bits, would be careful of adding posts like this though, where your posting internal memos, etc. Emirates seems to have lots of openly blogging FAs, so maybe they are more lenient, but over here in the good 'ol USA people are getting in trouble for things like this...

I have to say I am crazy jealous of you getting to work the A380! It's going to be amazing, you are lucky, congratulations!!!!!
