My status on the job page on EK career website changed into Joining Formalities in Progress last week,which is some kind of confirmation that I was already approved for the job! "Some kind of", because we know nothing for sure, but I haven't heard about anyone who got JFIP status and did not get a Golden Call. I try to keep up on the news from the cabin crew forum, so that I can compare my situation with some other applicants all over the world. That's pretty cool!
Actually, I received two calls from Dubai last week, but couldn't accept them as I was at the meeting that time. Since then they did not call back again.. To be honest, that's not so bad, as I am still seeing my dentist fixing my teeth, and will have it all done soon (apart from other medical tests, teeth x-ray upload is necessary for completing the application after a golden call is received).
I haven't decided yet if I should accept the job.. It is all because of my present job (which is just great!), my husband (I will miss him..) and our plans to have a baby next year (EK contract is fixed for 3 years).
On the other hand the option is to take the job and terminate the contract after 1-1,5 year, on condition that there's no fine imposed. I will get to know that information once I get my contract ready, and then I will reconsider the possibility of joining. That's even already agreed with my husband! :-)
I know that for some, this decision would be very easy to make - this sounds like the opportunity given once in a life time, so why to hesitate? And I totally agree with that! But, first of all, my career path is already on the right track and I don't want to ruin it. I am aware that 1 year gap will not be an issue so much, though.
Second of all, the baby thing. I wanted to have baby last year, and still do. We decided to wait another year or so, because of our financial situation. Since now I have a truly decent job we could start trying! Especially that many of my closest friends are expecting now :)
Hower, it's nevertheless true that this is a dream job so-called (travelling, all the glamour and luxury, wow!). And I love (just love love!) travelling and meeting new people, getting to know other cultures - this seems like a place for me to be...
(Of course, I am also fully aware of all the 'dark sides', and how demanding the job would be! Just trying not to focus on it right now)
Decision made? I guess so... :-) Now I just wait for my Golden Call. It will come, I can feel It.
