First Aid training done!



What a boring and exhaustic training just finished! My score was 100 in written and practical exams! I feel like i had to become a doctor or so in one week...lol we had to learn a lot of medications and all kind of medical emegency situations and what to deal with them, such as CPR, fractures, air sickness, bleeding, Epilepsy fit, Anaphylatic reaction...etc. Our trainer was from Lebanon, also as online purser, he was nice and funny on transmitting his knowledge to us in a friendly manner! that helped us to be able to absorb all unfriendly materials in just 1 week. On the other hand, I am very excited because next week I will be able to check my first roster! can't wait to know where I am going as my first layover destination! Could be London? Paris? Bangkok? Sydney? Beijing? Rome? Hong Kong? Casablanca? Vienna?....hahaha I am high!

Finished the SEP!!!



After 2 weeks intense training of SEP, we all finished and got a great score! Mine was 98 and 100. Feeling so great! Now I can fly Airbus 330, 340-300, 340-500, Boeing 777-200 and 777-300! Can´t wait to start flying...this is a tough week, because only 1 day off is given to us and we need to go to training college tomorrow Saturday lol...furthermore, is my Birthday!!! what a drag! Anyway, because of the training schedule otherwise I wouldn´t accept it...
The SEP training is not really hard, you only have to pay as much as attention as you can then it will absolutely save your time on studying at home...i only spend 2 hours studying per day and put my effort to go through all materials we covered. Thus, i am really excited and everyday feeling much better with this new job and be able to deal with different cultures and people around world. This Sunday we will launch the First Aid training and it will last for only 1 week...then we will start our last module of trainig on Service! and after that I will get my first roster and by then it will be posted in this blog though...and that´s when my journey starts with Emirates Airlines!

Passed the first SEP training exam!




I am back again pals! I just had my first SEP (Safety and Emergency Procedures) general safety exam (Airbus 330)...and i got a 98, failed on one silly tricky question! otherwise it would have been a 100!! odd...

Gotta study for the upcoming exam on Monday...is gonna be a big one, but i think i will be fine and hopefully get a 100 next time! will keep you all posted though. Here is Dubai is just hot, but bearable anyway...many places to hang out at night, but waiting for taxi is definitely a big issue here in Dubai. last night some of us had to wait for 1 hour or so for a taxi to come to our hotel...and everyone was pissed off since the taxi drivers were rude and didn´t want to take all of us...only allow 4 and we were 6! but we made it finally...

More picture to share with you all about my journey this far!

First week training

Just got some time to update my journey with Emirates, this has been a boring and tough week for me since they started with a very intense program of induction day, uniform fitting, grooming and SEP (Safety and Emergency Procedures)!! The trainer is actually quite nice but stiff...we went through first Airbus 330 turbulence and door operations which was my first being in the flight simulator and the whole thing feel so real...we did moderate and severe turbulance (anticipated and unanticipated)...got 5 home assignments (homeworks) and reading !#%^**^%
Let's take a look at some pictures I have taken so far in my first week in Dubai...hope you guys like it and comment them of course.
....the internet down here suckssss...plus the aire conditioning in my living room is not working...got to study 3 hours at least now...Henceforward...will be updating this blog once a week for now.
