I also got back yesterday from Dubai. What an experience that was. Emirates is a hell of an impressive operation. It still feels like it was a dream. Everyone is so nice, layed back and a great sense of humor. There wasnt a single point in time where I felt nervous. The medical is a bit daunting. Especially the eye part. I took about 6 different eye exams. 6 viles of blood was drained. Lung capacity test. It almost felt like the selection process during The Right Stuff. I passed everything. The only thing left is to wait. They are going to contact my references and then I should have an answer in one to two weeks.
