Hi there. You video was so interesting! I worked for another Middle East airline and the main reason why I left was because I had zero personal life. Environment and work culture were extremely strict and I couldn't handle that constant stress and feeling that I live in a boarding school even I'm a mature adult. It was super hard to make friends, because you never flew with the same people, you always away... if you're off, your housemates are on duty or vice versus. Also, it was a public secret that romantic relationship between employees were not tolerated at all and you could easily got in trouble if somebody from management finds out that. Practically it was impossible to have a boyfriend, to plan a family or to have a normal life outside job. Maybe when you're 20 or 21, it's ok, but when you're getting older, you realize that you don't want to spend your whole life in loneliness or surrounded by temporary, fragile "friendships" with people who just come and go in your life. Of course, there are many good things too, but I think now social media doesn't reflect the reality of this job and lifestyle. It looks glamorous and fun, but there's another side too and rarely wants to show that.
I agree with everything you said. We kind of felt the same. Stressed to the bone by having to recover from a flight and get ready for a flight. Having a normal life this way is impossible.

Wow so good to hear such a raw and honest reason why you quit. I really appreciate you sharing these intimate personal information - feels like you really do care for our cabin crew wanna be community and I’m so grateful for you Orlando! I follow news stories about why people quit or develop mental health issues and it’s so important to be aware to prevent them from happening so you can maintain a healthy lifestyle. And what a beautiful background scenery!! Incredible. I hope we get to do a RUclips collab some day.
Kaito! We're open for collaborations! Please get in touch through our channels below our videos in the description! We're really happy to see you so active and positive! You seem like a super nice guy. I'm sure a collab with you would do good to our community! Yes! We love helping the community! We really enjoy spreading the knowledge rather than keeping it to ourselves! Have a great day Kaito, looking forward to a project together ;) Orlando @wishcasting

Hey Orlando, Thank you so much for these valuable videos even after 3 years. I recently joined the Facebook Group and asked 2 un unanswerd questions about my upcoming OD.They havint been approved to Post. Your help is highly Apreciated .
These are surprising facts that easily get underestimated by people. Unfortunately, they are everything to your well being on the long run. Believe me!
Muhammadjon we're really happy you're one of the most active users on our RUclips channel! We enjoy connecting with you! We're really hoping of seeing you soon among the Emirates crew! Orlando @wishcasting
Never expected to hear my name from your videos. Thank you so much Orlando and sorry for late comment. We are having a hard time accessing social networks as all are temporarily blocked due to the easter sunday terror attack in Sri Lanka. 😭 Anyway thanks for the informative great video. Good luck on next videos. Have a great and safe time ahead
You're one of our top commentors and viewers! Of course we'll mention your name or collab with you :) We we're horrified by what happened and only now we realize you're Sri Lankan and you could've been affected by the events. How are you? How's your family? Is everything being rebuilt now? I hope they deliver funds to fix and help the families that lost the most. Notre-Dame got 1 billion Euros in only a couple of days. Let's hope they're not so selfish not to care about your country after what happened. Thanks for the compliments as usual and I hope to see you strong in the upcoming period. Orlando @wishcasting
Thanks for asking Orlando. Well my family is okay but the death count increased to 321 and around 600 is injured. Most of churches are being rebuilt yet the situation is not taken down yet. Tri forces are doing their best to locate bombs and today around 3 bombs got defused by controlled explosion. Looking forward for your upcoming videos
I heard they were working hard on it. I hope it all turns out to be sorted out and these small radical cells get completely eradicated. I'm very sorry about it. We were all shocked. I'm going to publish a video in a couple of hours. I'm super tired though.. so much work :S Have a great evening Sayuru!
Hiiii ..... hope your doing good..... I have been flying almost 5 years in middle east one of d major airline .... i agree all the comments that u hv mentioned about quiteing cabin crew job ..... 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
❤️ It is a hard job, but a wonderful experience. Join the Emirates Classroom, with Emirates crew members and aspiring cabin crew members on Facebook Here's the group: facebook.com/groups/EmiratesWannabees/ Orlando @wishcasting
Thank you for that. What do think is the right age limit to join emirates as a work experience for 3 years. Thanks. I’ve heard they have 7/8 flights per month which I think it’s a lot. Is it still 100-120 hours flight per month on average ? Is it possible to build a relationship while working for emirates and living in dubai or is it harder? PS: in flight attendant doing long haul flight mostly
Hello! Thank you for your content! Could you please answer- if i can join with not so great teeth) i need to straighten them and put crowns on a couple of them. It is not really visible but still...Thank you in advance!
Orlsndo thank you for your video. I'm a cabin crew of Aeroflot more than 5 years. In April I had interview with Emirates including final interview. But I didnt get golden call. In a week I'm going to Assessment day again. Can you give me some advice for that people who are going there the second time? I have gone through all process last time but didnt get this job. My biggest mistake was that I didnt prepare for final interview and didnt know all this tricks. All questions are quite tricky. You have to think twice what to say and what do not yo say. It was skype interview it's not easy to use charm and charisma that can help you in real life, it doesn't work through the computer sometimes. And one more thing is the recruiter asks you to tell the example in all details what exactly you said, what client/colleagues said and etc...I'll appreciate any advices
Hi, I understand your question. Could you please ask it on the Emirates Wannabees | forum so that everyone can read my reply? They will benefit of your question too. Copy paste should be sufficient. Join the Emirates Classroom, with Emirates crew members and aspiring cabin crew members on Facebook Here's the group: facebook.com/groups/EmiratesWannabees/ Orlando @wishcasting
Agreed with him, its not a easy job to do 100 hrs a month, involving jet leg and very long flying hrs, your whole sleep pattern is dusturbed ,your health is deteriorating day by day and in the end you did not get retirement benefits
I will! Please ask for it here: Join the Emirates Classroom, with Emirates crew members and aspiring cabin crew members on Facebook Here's the group: facebook.com/groups/EmiratesWannabees/ Orlando @wishcasting
Hi, I have a question that I couldn't find the answer anywhere... They ask for photos, is absolutely necessary to bring all 4? (two in business attire, and two in casual attire)
You should follow the guidelines to have maximum chances in getting in. I printed several causal clothes ones and several in formal attire (passport and full bodied just in case). The moment you hand over the photos and cv, you're like selling yourself. Try to sell yourself well, don't sell yourself short. Orlando @wishcasting

Hi there! So good luck!! 🤞 We're happy you like our videos! That's good news! It means they work! The contract you will ever sign is a 3 year contact.

Orlando, I'm fascinated by your accent. What is it? Sometimes I think you're American and then I think I hear a Dublin accent. Would love to know. Liked and subscribed.
Hello hi.. I have been invited to an Emirates assessment day on the 9th of May in Johannesburg, South Africa.. it’s my first. What can I expect? Any tips you can give me coz I’m really nervous. If you have already answered this type of question, please tell me which video to look at. Thank you

Hi Tsundzuka! Join the Emirates Classroom, with Emirates crew members and aspiring cabin crew members on Facebook Here's the group: facebook.com/groups/EmiratesWannabees/
Hey Orlando, the wrinkles part scares me! Hahah is it true that everyone who works as a flight attendant prematurely ages? I watch so many girls/ follow on RUclips/Instagram that work for emirates and they always look immaculate! Haha do you think the wrinkles you experienced is due to the lack of sleep? Does everyone experience premature wrinkles?
Hi Georgia! Wrinkles show up depending on these factors: -Age -Lifestyle -DNA -Personality (easy or not easy to get stressed) -Food -Sleep -Exercise -Smoking -Alcohol -Make-up All of these factors impact your appearance. The reason why most crew look immaculate is either cause they really take care of them selves or are very young, or use botox and apply a lot of make up. You're probably used to seeing crew on Instagram or RUclips. Of course they'll always put their best pictures with perfect make up on. This doesn't reflect reality as you know. When they remove makeup, you'll see blemishes, pimples, birthmarks, scars and wrinkles :) It's a natural thing. The way you age is just 1.5x faster I'd say than regular. But again, it all depends on all the factors above and how well you treat yourself. Orlando @wishcasting
WishCasting thanks for the extensive comment Orlando! Haha I guess age is a big worry for females 🤣 in general! Yes I know what you’re saying! I’m hoping to only do 2-3 years so hopefully it won’t impact me that much! How long were you with Emirates for? ✈️
Sometimes they measure sometimes they don't. They measure with a reach test mostly. If I were you I'd try! Come join our group and speak to us. There was a lady that asked the same question yesterday and got really good feedback from Emirates colleagues. Join the Emirates Classroom, with Emirates crew members and aspiring cabin crew members on Facebook Here's the group: facebook.com/groups/EmiratesWannabees/ Orlando @wishcasting
Emirates doesn't have much information regarding this matter on their website. However we do know that after you become 50 or so ( I'll have to investigate on the precise age, I cannot remember right now), when and if your contract gets renewed, it'll only be valid for 1 year. When you join the company, your contract is of 3 years. Every time you renew your contract after it expires, it always lasts 3 years. However if you're older, your contract is limited to one year every time. I've heard from one purser friend of mine that they discontinue crew after they become too old. That's why they make 1 year contracts for older people, so to discontinue them easily within their legal rights. The first part of the answer isn't totally accurate and only reflects an approximation of what I heard and know. Hope we were of any help! Orlando @wishcasting
Hi Aaron! Join the Emirates Classroom, with Emirates crew members and aspiring cabin crew members on Facebook Here's the group: facebook.com/groups/EmiratesWannabees/
They are mainly looking for: -customer service -leadership skills -cooperation among a group -quick reaction and reflex in taking actions (paramedic, lifeguard, referee, sport athlete) -great English -previous experience is greatly recommended (cabin crew is the best but not limited to) The format of your cv needs to be strong. You can have the best experience but if you don't simplify it well, the recruiters will be bored and not consider you. Capture their attention quickly. That's the key.

Hi Qasim! Join the Emirates Classroom, with Emirates crew members and aspiring cabin crew members on Facebook Here's the group: facebook.com/groups/EmiratesWannabees/
@@WishCasting sure, I don't mind, I have been quite satisfied but I guess it may be because I haven't been rostered so many hours a month and get along with my flatmates :)
Wonderful! Thanks for your reply! I never experienced flying over 100 hours. However I was told off by at least 5 crew members that 90 hours average is absolutely unreal. I'm happy to hear that it isn't like that for everyone. When I joined, I would get on an average 80 hours per month and 5 days off twice a month sometimes. I was able, with 5 days of leave, to get 15 days off total if I placed leave at the end of the month. That allowed me to high priority bid 5 days off on both months and make sure I got them. It's dreamland nowadays unfortunately. Yes, good flatmates and less flying hours make this job close to a holiday without an end. Where are you from? How's your next months roster? Let us know if you ever come to Prague and want to have an Emirates chit-chat. It doesn't have to be negative. Emirates is amazing and we want to show that aspect too. Orlando @wishcasting
I've been asked this question by an anonymous user and wanted to let you all in for the answer: 1. 📹 What would you like us to talk about on our next video? What questions do you have regarding Emirates? Hi,I wanted to ask you do you know if I can work for emirates or any other airline if I have dandruff. p.s.Love your youtube channel. Thank you. We've seen people working for Emirates with dandruff and we're sure you shouldn't have any problems getting in. Just make sure to scrub your scalp and hydrate it well before attending your open day. Once you're in the company it's not your problem anymore, they'll probably get a physician looking into the source of the problem and fixing it for you. But you have to manage getting in first. Orlando @wishcasting
I’ve flew with two UK airlines and it’s very true that the pay is c7ap. So if anyone is still interested in joining as cabin crew you will be working a champagne lifestyle on a lemonade budget!
Emirates is amazing ;) But one of the major bad things is that you're killing your health. Many jokes are said, that you look 10 years older if you're a cabin crew. Check memes on google about cabin crew :D We are so unhealthy and we age super quick. Live a lonely life. Better do it for a short time.
Isn’t this how it is in every airline? Correct me if I’m wrong but this is how stewards and pilots live. They fly for hours get less sleep and less free time and get compensated with few days off and lots of benefits. There’s nothing different with Emirates Airlines. Of course you would know that if you worked with a different airline or know someone who works for one. Maybe this career isn’t for you. There’s nothing wrong with that, just don’t blame the company that hired you and paid you well.
No blaming. Just outlining. You like many others, may know what being a cabin crew is all about, but many people applying have no idea. There is no harm in letting them all know what's behind the job, the real side. People only talk about glamorous perks. That's not the reality. Everyone has the right to know what they're jumping into.
You’re clearly portraying the airline as a bad company with your choice of words on the title and the description . So it’s either a clickbait to get more views which is not a cool thing. Or you completely deviated from the point you just mentioned.
The hard truth is the fact that so many suicides have been swept under the carpet. Loneliness is a big deal being crew. One month ago the last of a very long list. You have no idea how many other negative aspects I've experienced but will disclose on future episodes. I quit but I'm still on many fb pages where plenty of other crew disclose much more negative aspects not covered on this video. I've quit for many other reasons that I still haven't disclosed but will soon. Ps: I have close friends in Ryanair, EasyJet, Norwegian and couple more. They have many days off for proper rest. They can actually have a holiday if they couple leave with days off. Emirates crew are flying more and having less days off. When you book leave you get 1 day off before and after your leave, not enough compared to other airlines. Some Emirates crew going back home in Mexico need 3 days just to travel, that's just unfair. In the past (2 years ago), we'd have 5 days in front and 5 days after our leave. With 5 days of leave you'd get 15 days total away from dubai. That was good! Not now anymore. That's one of the reasons they're hiring again. They lost 10k of their crew members in resignations. Wait for next videos, you'll see. Stay tuned 👍

Hey Orlando, the wrinkles part scares me! Hahah is it true that everyone who works as a flight attendant prematurely ages? I watch so many girls/ follow on RUclips/Instagram that work for emirates and they always look immaculate! Haha do you think the wrinkles you experienced is due to the lack of sleep? Does everyone experience premature wrinkles?
Hi Georgia!
Wrinkles show up depending on these factors:
-Age
-Lifestyle
-DNA
-Personality (easy or not easy to get stressed)
-Food
-Sleep
-Exercise
-Smoking
-Alcohol
-Make-up
All of these factors impact your appearance. The reason why most crew look immaculate is either cause they really take care of them selves or are very young, or use botox and apply a lot of make up.
You're probably used to seeing crew on Instagram or RUclips. Of course they'll always put their best pictures with perfect make up on. This doesn't reflect reality as you know. When they remove makeup, you'll see blemishes, pimples, birthmarks, scars and wrinkles :) It's a natural thing.

The format of your cv needs to be strong. You can have the best experience but if you don't simplify it well, the recruiters will be bored and not consider you. Capture their attention quickly. That's the key.
We'll do a sample cv episode soon. Stay tuned Abdalla my friend 🖐️☺️

Hi, I understand your question. Could you please ask it on the Emirates Wannabees | forum so that everyone can read my reply? They will benefit of your question too.
Copy paste should be sufficient.

Hi Qasim! Join the Emirates Classroom, with Emirates crew members and aspiring cabin crew members on Facebook

we fly much less than 110 hours, I fly 90 on average ;)
Thanks for reaching out and commenting! Would you care sharing your experience Hanka? The airline, the class you're working in?
Orlando @wishcasting
@@WishCasting sure, I don't mind, I have been quite satisfied but I guess it may be because I haven't been rostered so many hours a month and get along with my flatmates :)
@@WishCasting I am GR2, Emirates
Wonderful! Thanks for your reply! I never experienced flying over 100 hours. However I was told off by at least 5 crew members that 90 hours average is absolutely unreal. I'm happy to hear that it isn't like that for everyone.
When I joined, I would get on an average 80 hours per month and 5 days off twice a month sometimes.
I was able, with 5 days of leave, to get 15 days off total if I placed leave at the end of the month. That allowed me to high priority bid 5 days off on both months and make sure I got them.
It's dreamland nowadays unfortunately.
Yes, good flatmates and less flying hours make this job close to a holiday without an end.
Where are you from? How's your next months roster?
Let us know if you ever come to Prague and want to have an Emirates chit-chat. It doesn't have to be negative. Emirates is amazing and we want to show that aspect too.

I am literally scared ............watching this video
I've been asked this question by an anonymous user and wanted to let you all in for the answer:
1. 📹 What would you like us to talk about on our next video?
What questions do you have regarding Emirates?
Hi,I wanted to ask you do you know if I can work for emirates or any other airline if I have dandruff. p.s.Love your youtube channel. Thank you.
We've seen people working for Emirates with dandruff and we're sure you shouldn't have any problems getting in. Just make sure to scrub your scalp and hydrate it well before attending your open day. Once you're in the company it's not your problem anymore, they'll probably get a physician looking into the source of the problem and fixing it for you. But you have to manage getting in first.

Hey! do they hire girls with pixie hairstyles?
Haha I would ask: why did you join Emirates? Are you crazy?! Money's not worth it.
I’ve flew with two UK airlines and it’s very true that the pay is c7ap. So if anyone is still interested in joining as cabin crew you will be working a champagne lifestyle on a lemonade budget!
Great.... but i still want to join in Emirates... ...
Emirates is amazing ;) But one of the major bad things is that you're killing your health. Many jokes are said, that you look 10 years older if you're a cabin crew. Check memes on google about cabin crew :D We are so unhealthy and we age super quick. Live a lonely life. Better do it for a short time.
Yes me too
There are many negative aspects and postive aspects of working in Emirates.
Soon a new video about it. Stay tuned :)
Orlando @wishcasting
DID U Ever join? id find something else if i were u
Yep yep and yep to this video
Isn’t this how it is in every airline?
Correct me if I’m wrong but this is how stewards and pilots live. They fly for hours get less sleep and less free time and get compensated with few days off and lots of benefits. There’s nothing different with Emirates Airlines. Of course you would know that if you worked with a different airline or know someone who works for one.
Maybe this career isn’t for you. There’s nothing wrong with that, just don’t blame the company that hired you and paid you well.
No blaming. Just outlining.
You like many others, may know what being a cabin crew is all about, but many people applying have no idea. There is no harm in letting them all know what's behind the job, the real side. People only talk about glamorous perks. That's not the reality. Everyone has the right to know what they're jumping into.
You’re clearly portraying the airline as a bad company with your choice of words on the title and the description . So it’s either a clickbait to get more views which is not a cool thing. Or you completely deviated from the point you just mentioned.
The hard truth is the fact that so many suicides have been swept under the carpet. Loneliness is a big deal being crew. One month ago the last of a very long list. You have no idea how many other negative aspects I've experienced but will disclose on future episodes. I quit but I'm still on many fb pages where plenty of other crew disclose much more negative aspects not covered on this video. I've quit for many other reasons that I still haven't disclosed but will soon.
Ps: I have close friends in Ryanair, EasyJet, Norwegian and couple more. They have many days off for proper rest. They can actually have a holiday if they couple leave with days off. Emirates crew are flying more and having less days off. When you book leave you get 1 day off before and after your leave, not enough compared to other airlines. Some Emirates crew going back home in Mexico need 3 days just to travel, that's just unfair. In the past (2 years ago), we'd have 5 days in front and 5 days after our leave. With 5 days of leave you'd get 15 days total away from dubai. That was good! Not now anymore. That's one of the reasons they're hiring again. They lost 10k of their crew members in resignations. Wait for next videos, you'll see. Stay tuned 👍
I’m waiting
Earthly, you clearly dont know what you talking about. Every single word this guys is sharing is absolutely leggit.
