Emirates on hiring binge

I thought this was very interesting, guess Emirates really needs folks to fly and serve on those 90 A380's that will be joining the fleet over the next decade or so...........Michael

Emirates airline, owned by the government of Dubai, is on a hiring binge with plans to bring on 3,000 cabin crew members and 700 pilots worldwide over the next 18 months, according to a company press release.

The airline touts its multi-cultural cabin crew, which includes 120 nationalities who speak more than 80 languages. Perks include "high-quality living arrangements, full medical care and state-of-the-art facilities in training and at work." Plus the cabin crew wears cool hats (pictured right).

Emirates plans four global recruitment sessions in the United States over the next month. None are in Southern California, but there is one near San Francisco International Airport next month:

June 19th: Crowne Plaza Miami International Airport
June 26th: Four Seasons Hotel, Houston
July 10th: Hotel Deca, Seattle
July 17th: San Mateo Marriott
