The OP is me in five years.
I am also obsessed with everything Emirates (have the t-shirt, hat, posters, lanyard, all timetables, boarding cards etc etc.) The 'please fasten your seatbelt' announcement in arabic was even my ringtone for a while.

I also want to work as a TA just for fun if nothing else. If you don't mind me asking
- was there an opening or did you just apply
- what were the minimum requirements?
There is an STA right across the street and I am waiting for a 'now hiring' sign.
Cheers,
