SU-GCM

11th Jun 2009, 19:42

same here gentlemen , dogra.sidhant was mine

One quesion though

Do we have to print the invitation Email and show it at the reception/entrance or just the passport ?!

aviator_hyd

12th Jun 2009, 05:21

Hi guys! I would like to know if anyone alredy holding a CPL license has got a mail from Etihad regarding the assesment.

calvin.&.holmes

12th Jun 2009, 06:26

Does anyone have any information about how to prepare for the physics test.

0G2

12th Jun 2009, 08:21

they have mestioned that you wont need any docs. the passport myt jus be enough.!

0G2

12th Jun 2009, 08:25

aviator hyd: 1 cut down instructions of etihad cadetship is that you shouldnt be holding a CPL or ATPL. they are basicly trying to recrut the cadets from scratch. and even if CPL holders are invited for the assesments it is pretty obvios that they will be eliminated by the 2nd interview round!!

0G2

12th Jun 2009, 08:32

guys are your all assesments dated on the 23rd of july 2009 at AUH at 13:30???
@aviator hyd : is your invitation dates to the 26th july 8:30 am??

SU-GCM

12th Jun 2009, 09:30

@OG2:
There are different dates
Some on the 22nd,23rd,26th and 27th is the last i heared of
and some of the days have more than 1 time like the 27th

For those asking about preparations it was proven by the previous applicants that there is nothing you could prepare for as they are trying to measure your skills levels through 6 aptitude tests that you don't even know what are they and they said in the invitation email that their policy is that they won't tell you what are they
So the only advice I got from the 2 previous topics with 1000+ posts is to sleep well the night of the assessment :}

Good Luck Everybody

Hello i've got my invitiation and it was also addressed to another emil from india (the email ended @hotmail.in) should i write them back? asking for corrections? Or leave it like that??

calvin.&.holmes

12th Jun 2009, 15:28

@ Gustavo Neito

I think it would be better to ask them now then face problem later.

aviator_hyd

12th Jun 2009, 17:02

nah bro i have my assesment on the 23rd at 08:30, but i do hold a CPL. Lets see how it goes i have written to them alredy about it.

Hey, do you think there are too many guys attending to AUH Assessment? so as to extend the assessment days from the 22nd to the 27th? i hope not :bored:, have you seen any hotel to stay at? I think all my savings will go in the hotel and airplane ticket since i'm flying from Spain , but i don't care it's my dream and i'll do it again and again....

So , have you seen any hotels? I saw the Intercontinental Abu Dhabi, there's an hotel nearby (Al Raha Beach Hotel) buut i can't find its website...to ask if they can help me with the visa arrangements..

Greetings to all you !

JJames

25th Jun 2009, 02:39

All in all the day in Sydney was a very good experience. The atmosphere was quite relaxed and the information very informative. I thank Etihad for giving non nationals a chance at becoming a cadet for their airline. Winning this would be like fast forwarding 10 years into your career!!! Goodluck to all in Sydney, hopefully we will all get answers within the next week or two :D

captainamir

25th Jun 2009, 08:15

Yea I was nervous at first but chilled later
hope we get it Soon!and positive for everyone!:)
jjames let me know when you get an email from etihad!

suleman

25th Jun 2009, 16:13

I have been invited for assessment on 27th july at 8.30 am :)

RunSick

25th Jun 2009, 18:00

Does anyone know for certain how many candidates take the first screening? In the last 3 or 4 screenings? I know that finally only 10 (aprox) are accepted, but from how many? (if all the candidates at the various cities where the first test was taken are added, of course)
thanxs and good luck!

Jlowen

25th Jun 2009, 19:56

My assestment is on the 22nd of july 13.30 @ Abu dhabi
anyone else??? How many people are attending and how many are actually getting to the second stage??

adnancoolin

27th Jun 2009, 20:53

hi there everyone....writing here after a long time....I have gone through all the post posted by you all. I have applied too. And my assessment is on 23rd July 8.30am AUH.Regarding questions, that depends on how much good is your mental ability, logic and spatial realization. Questions are easy but the thing is ..... to do all in less time and that too "all correct". Also, please go through the geography part.To keygrip (moderator) - please dont block this thread. I know you are doing the right thing on your part but instead of blocking it..... block the messages from the individuals who are creating a mess.best of luck

Keygrip

28th Jun 2009, 00:17

Then tell me what it's for!!

Nobody is saying anything ABOUT the process - you're all just telling each other when you will be where.

You can do that on Facebook.

What are you expecting to get from this thread?

RunSick

28th Jun 2009, 00:34

I would like to know the acceptance ratio.
How many candidates per city? How many cities taken into account to make one group for the second stage? I know 2nd stage consists of around 30 candidates. But from how many?
Thanks again

rodrigues

28th Jun 2009, 15:37

Have any of the Sydney candidates received results from last week's assessment?

BabyGirl

29th Jun 2009, 03:13

no we haven't - have you ?

rodrigues

29th Jun 2009, 07:45

Nothing as yet. Apologies if it came across as if I was insinuating that I had heard back. Such an anxious wait!

captainamir

29th Jun 2009, 07:48

Not yet have you?!

blackbird93

29th Jun 2009, 11:23

No news till now, keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best :)

captainamir

rodrigues

1st Jul 2009, 07:38

Nope. The waiting game isn't getting any easier! They did say up to 10 days, today marks 8 of those.

Seamus733

1st Jul 2009, 09:11

At least I know what to expect for next year!

LEvans

1st Jul 2009, 09:11

Hi Guys,

I just received an email addressed to my name saying I was successful and would be continuing on to Abu Dhabi in August, and then an hour later received an email addressed to "Dear Candidate," saying I was unsuccessful.

I've contacted them to see what's happening, but at this stage I'm confused! Ha!

Seamus733

1st Jul 2009, 09:14

Lol LEvans!

captainamir

1st Jul 2009, 21:33

When did you get one?!
Why haven't I got one?!

captainamir

1st Jul 2009, 21:36

Are you guys serious about recieving an email?!
Haven't got any email yet!:(

rodrigues

2nd Jul 2009, 00:08

I'd take that as a positive captainamir! As the saying goes, no news is good news.

Gustavo_Nieto

2nd Jul 2009, 05:43

SunnySS

3rd Jul 2009, 01:16

Hi Guys, I've filled up the form in Jun 2009 for the National Cadet Pilot Programme just assuming that they will hire Cadet Globally, so what are the suggestions ? I'm in Hong Kong and not a National.

Cheers

and goodluck to you capt.amir.

rodrigues

4th Jul 2009, 08:13

Has anyone yet been successful for the 2nd stage?

captainamir

4th Jul 2009, 14:28

I donno yet mate
have you heard from your friend?!

rodrigues

5th Jul 2009, 02:06

Captainamir, I've heard from him, but he hasn't yet heard from EY. I suggested to him to wait until tomorrow morning (our time), and if still no word, to contact them directly.

captainamir

5th Jul 2009, 08:56

Hi rodrigues
I already have sent them an email to see what's happening
could you please confirm the email address that you recieve unsucceful notification is as same as the one etihad invited us for the assessment?!
If it's different could you please send me the email address?!

Thanks mate

rodrigues

5th Jul 2009, 09:15

Hey Amir, yup it is the same e-mail. Fingers crossed.

captainamir

6th Jul 2009, 02:07

Captainamir couldn't make it as well!
Well,no worries new life better opportunities!:)

rodrigues

6th Jul 2009, 03:07

Not to worry Amir, simply means that you will inevitably achieve your dreams, you will just go about it the old fashioned and conventional way.

I'm quite surprised to not hear of anyone successfully through to the second stage. Though, selfishly, the scarcity of successful candidates is slight consolation to my own ability :p

LEvans

6th Jul 2009, 03:41

Well I have possibly been accepted, along with someone else I've spoken to. The problem is we've both received the unsuccessful email as well as the successful one.

I'm still waiting to hear back from Etihad.

rodrigues

6th Jul 2009, 04:10

You're still waiting mate? Fingers crossed :)

Gustavo_Nieto

7th Jul 2009, 05:55

Hello everyone, i'm attending to the assessment on the 22nd, yesterday my travel agency got in touch with the hotel i've booked from the 19th to the 25th July (Intercontinental Hotel) for starting my visa application , the travel agent sent me the reply from the hotel amd I must say that the english level of the my travel agent is level zero !! I don't know what the guy from the hotel did to understand what my travel agent tried to say:
(" I they send this message, for which we need that us send us a letter of invitation for the client ....We stay to the wait of answer on the part of the hotel...")

Now i've been in touch with the hotel myself and sent them the required documents (they even ask me for my college certificate in ENGLISH!!!! but i've studied in Mexico !!!) i'm just afraid that i won't have enought time to get the visa, since the flight is on the 19th , i called the Embassy of the UAE here in Spain and they asked if ia had any friend who could soponsor me to enter to the UAE and i said no !... damn it's getting quite difficult and i already have my aiplane ticket... i'll let you know what happens

If this hotel cannot give me the visa in time, i'll just change the Hotel to the Shreaton since they told me they can process ans Urgent Visa which is ready withiin two days
obviuosly the price of this visa is quite high than a normal visa... :S i'm worried, i couldn't sleep well yesterday thinking about it, i just don't want to fail to the tests i've been preparing for so long....

@captainamir : Don't worry budy there are a lot of chances always to make your dreams come true just keep looking and keep your head high, you need to be ready when another great opportunity arrives. Regards !

GN - interesting story (not really, I lied) - but what the :mad: has it got to do with PPRuNe?

RunSick

7th Jul 2009, 13:38

Does anyone know the acceptance ratio of Etihad's Cadet Pilot Programme?

Gustavo_Nieto

8th Jul 2009, 05:56

Well it is related to PPRune as the Topic of the forum is "ETIHAD CADET PILOT LAST TEST" so, my post is related to what i am being through to get to the ETIHAD CADET PILOT LAST TEST be sure to read the title of the forum .Thanks for your private mesages buddies , everything is ok now, the hotel has submitted my documents to the proper visa officer

BabyGirl

- Dubai is state within UAE - so is AbuDhabi - so the visa requirements are the same

rodrigues

9th Jul 2009, 02:30

Hi Mopar,

No need to apologise, although the question has come up previously.

The Australians in this thread sat the initial Sydney assessment last month for EY's International Cadetship, which is open to all nationalities and is seperate to the UAE National Cadetship. The assessments have one final stop for this year, in Abu Dhabi this month.

The International Cadetship is closed for this year but provided it is continued next year, I'd strongly recommend applying for it. Keep an eye out, they will most likely advertise next years programme later this year.

9th Jul 2009, 20:03

hey seamus733

i am going for abu dhabi assessment,dude can u guide me and let me know about aptitude tests

captainamir

10th Jul 2009, 04:57

hi rodrigues and all other friends!!

well as u knw i didn get it!!
but i was wondering if anyone from syd heard positive!!
seems no one has accepted from sydney!!

rodrigues

10th Jul 2009, 06:36

Hi Amir,

The closest we've had to success is 'LEvans', who on last contact with this thread, received both the 'Successful' and 'Unsuccessful' e-mails from EY and was in the process of ascertaining which of these apply to him.

I guess it's comes as little surprise that only few would get the nod for the next stage, and those who did are most likely devoting their time to preparation for the big day(s), not PPRuNe. Good luck to them! :ok:

calvin.&.holmes

13th Jul 2009, 06:21

I dont think anybody can know that, everyone can only speculate.

RunSick

13th Jul 2009, 15:11

OK then, as this is a "rumor" network... let the speculation begin!
How many candidates per city? how many cities do the initial assessment in order to have a batch for the second stage?.
At least it will be a bit more interesting than the classic "I've got a mail, have you?..." or "I'm going to xxx on this xxx date, anyone else?"etc.etc.
So, from your personal experience, how many candidates do you calculate were present in your first assessment? Which city was it?
Good luck to all!

Keygrip

13th Jul 2009, 16:05

Even better - stop posting crap just to be able to post something.

If you just chat for the sake of keeping the thread alive then it proves my earlier point that the thread doesn't need to *be* alive.....and it will die the same death.

If you *HAVE* something constructive to all readers of this thread - say it. If not - shut the :mad:.

Fazil

15th Jul 2009, 06:48

Well guys i just wanted to know if Etihad have closed their cadet pilot program for good or have they stopped accepting applications for this year. also any idea on when they would start accepting applications.

Gustavo_Nieto

15th Jul 2009, 16:17

Hello everyone, guess what, i just received my visa to my email this morning , god i'm so excited...now im cleared to go !

Abu Dhabi , see you on Sunday.....Etihad..see you in a week !!:D

RunSick

15th Jul 2009, 22:10

Oh, my god, thank you sooooo much for sharing this really relevant info with us! Now I know as lot more about Etihad Cadet Pilot's tests.:D

LEvans

16th Jul 2009, 12:40

Hey guys,

Just an update. I received an email back from Etihad today and the unsuccessful email was a mistake. So I am heading off to Abu Dhabi sometime in August for stage 2!

calvin.&.holmes

16th Jul 2009, 17:39

Hey LEvans congrats for your selection.

So how good was your test, do you think you scored 100% to get through. :}:}:}

LetMeFly

16th Jul 2009, 20:36

Hey guys i hate to be just another :mad:head asking the same unanswered question,
BUT does anyone actually know the ratio of people being accepted each year.

someone please answer....:ugh:

Keygrip

16th Jul 2009, 22:40

OK, I'll answer.

Nobody knows.

Now a question for you....what does it matter? What benefit would the information be to you, or anyone else, if anybody did know?

LetMeFly

17th Jul 2009, 00:06

I will be glad to answer:)

It matters in a sense that one will have a rough idea of the chance involved in being selected to the program, now Etihad has already announced it will not hold the last three venues.
I would like to see if someone know if they are now planning no take in less people due to the quote: "current economic climate".

Thank you for your concern :)

LEvans

17th Jul 2009, 00:27

calvin.&.holmes - Thanks :) To be honest I thought I went rather average on the first part of the assessment, but then I also think I nailed the last few parts. So overall I thought I did okay.

LetMeFly - I can't give you an exact answer, for the simple fact that we weren't told. What we were told is that they do aim for a certain number, and after the assessment you will either get an Unsuccessful, Maybe or Successful email. The Maybe email depends on how well the candidates in the next assessment do.

They also said that there is a certain pass mark. So the best advice to improve your chances? Study, and study hard!

We were also reminded about how aviation works in cycles, and right now we're in a bit of a downturn. We weren't told if that meant they were accepting lower numbers or not, but if they are just remember this - There will be an upturn.

BabyGirl

17th Jul 2009, 01:03

Congrats LEvans - Hopefully they have another assessment next year - but by the looks of it I highly doubt it - Anyways hope you kick *** in AbuDhabi - All the best (Enjoy the heat there as well)

LEvans

17th Jul 2009, 01:46

Thanks BabyGirl.

Even if they don't have one next year, I'm sure the next one won't be far away.

17th Jul 2009, 02:20

First and 2nd day in AUH are over Friday and Saturday are Day offs here and the assesments continue on Sunday 26th and Ends by Sunday 27th

Any news from the guys that are done ?

Hello people,

Hope you are doing good. This is my very first post but i keep reading posts. My assessment is on 26th July 1:30pm.

Congratulations to all those who cleared stage 1 and best of luck for future.

SU-GCM

25th Jul 2009, 19:14

Why noone is posting about AUH Assessments ?
I think already 2 days are done now and 2 are left

Hope someone post about how they did ?

calvin.&.holmes

25th Jul 2009, 21:33

My assessment was on 23 July second session. The people at etihad were very friendly and cool. Just keep your cool and don't panic, you will be fine.

@su-gcm

If you are looking for information about tests no one will give it to you.
All I can give you is my good wishes and good luck.
The main chit-chat will start after everyone is done with the tests and the emails start pouring in.

SU-GCM

26th Jul 2009, 05:00

@ calvin.&.holmes

I don't think I've asked about this
but usually if you have followed the old topic of 2008 assessments and 2009 old topic you should have understood what people have been discusing without mentioning anything regarding the questions

anyhow to avoid entering in a useless debate Good luck for you and for all of us

Hello All

It was a nice experience and yes they need genuisses to pass :S not just motivated people as they said in the presentation :eek:

calvin.&.holmes

28th Jul 2009, 08:07

@hafsa
You are surely right.

The time given to solve the questions was not less it was minuscule. There was no room even to think twice.
You can never be prepared for that you can either do it or not.
But since they are investing so much money they need those split second decision makers. :8

malirm

28th Jul 2009, 09:36

honestly, from my point of view...the first test had a very little time, but this can't hold you back...others had the same test!

Based upon my experience...keep learning & reading in your normal days...preparation for such tests will not help that much...its the continuous reading & exploring that would help you...in addition to previous testing of this kind (Familiarazation).

General Knowledge can't increase within 2 weeks...its the amount of info & experiences that you would have accumulated throughout the last couple of months/years :ok:.

Even if you are able to pass, your scores are going to be compared with the SA & AUS guys...so chances will decrease...overall It was a great experience! and would go for it whenever its possible.

Hey DodgeD I am Abdul

It is good to see a horizon flight instructor on these forums. I was unfortunately one of the unsuccessful candidates from the 2009 Sydney assessments. I was just wondering whether there has been talks at horizon regarding continuation of the program in 2010 and for how many years Etihad going to be running this program.

I hope to hear from you

Abdul:ok:

Hey buddy

Congrats on selection for stage 2 bro:D. I was unfortunately one of the unsuccessful candidates from Sydney's assessment :{(23RD June). I was just wondering on the e-mail they sent to you saying you had passed stage 1 did it mention anything about educational certificates to bring with you to stage 2.

Cheers:ok:

I am already done with assessment in AUH on 27th July. It was such a good experience. And I hope to pass it. I hope good luck for everyone and my advice "don't ever give up" for the one who didn't pass the first stage. Still there is a chance after 6 months. My number was AUH 7-54. Anyone has news please let us know.

Good luck

Well, thats just some news from a friend who works somewhere around EY...if not me :)...its PPRuNe...take it or leave it :ok:.

Another Rumour...the Stage 2 assessments will be between 6 & 10 Sept., nothing guaranteed...don't build any plans on it !

Bytheway....cheers to Gustavo who came all the way from Mexico to UAE...we had a good time in AUH, hope to see you around !

@LEvans
What is the approx waiting time.

LEvans

1st Aug 2009, 13:18

If you mean the waiting time for the first emails from Etihad after the Stage 1 assessment, then it was roughly a week before I received mine saying I was successful.

1st Aug 2009, 15:35

Hey you !
I want to thank to malirm who made that trip , the best of my life (seriously)...i hope we could have been good enough to see each other again and share an A320( malirm's favorite aircraft) cockpit in a near future, it would be such an honour. I hope to see you once again on the second stage and finally in Al Ain !...also you promised to teach me arabic hehe

See you soon ! Take Care ! Keep in Touch !:ok:

I'd stick with EYZ news...:), hope it doesn't take any longer !, ByTheWay Gustavo...I prefer the A320 in Airbuses, but I am always with Boeing specially the 777-300 ER, thats why I have the Boeing's sticker on the back of my car !

i think i did the psycometry tests well but screwed up here and there. i had initially marked the answers in a diffrent page.i hope they don't take that into consideration.
maybe they would , thats why the psycologists where there walking around noting down things. u guys tel me...wat do u think.!! :$

anyways..lets just keep our fingers crossed..may everyone get selected ...cant pray for that....may the best ones get selected.:)

2nd Aug 2009, 15:53

Oh my God this waiting is horrible i'm so nervous ,something tells me to calm down something tells me that i made it, but i don't know maybe is that feeling of anxiety to know the results. A big pray this night before going to bed.when i wake up tomorrow for work it's going to be 1530 in the UAE and probably i'll wake up at 430am(local time in Mexico)only to see if there's anything. Good Luck to everyone

PH-AJU

2nd Aug 2009, 23:21

You're right, if this won't work I'll have to find an other way to become a pilot. But this Etihad opportunity is not just some "ah.. I'll give it a try" thing... I want to go for it for the full 100%. Infact, I think that's the only way to become pilot in Etihad. I guess that's why I'm nervous about it.

Hope you've all passed guys!

VT-ASM

3rd Aug 2009, 09:04

Hi !

I took the assessment on the 27th as well.........
Even I screwed up a bit here and a bit there...I think I screwed up everywhere :{:{
The best we can do now is to keep calm and wait....

If we don't get through this attempt, there's always one more chance.....

I apologise to go a bit off track, But I saw this advertisement below on this page as of now about this book called 'Confessions and Memoirs of an airline pilot'...By Captain Horta

Should make a fantastic read......

You're damned right it's horrible.

The last 32 messages (before I quit counting) are all saying "I have no news" - so don't :mad: post any then!

I do actually feel for your frustration at such an important time in your training - but 32 messages of *nothing* is NOT what PPRuNe is for!.

Can we assume that, until somebody posts that they *DO* have news, nobody has any??

5th Aug 2009, 07:44

Oh man its nice to see the whole page congratulating me!!!, Thank You guys, you made me smile in the most difficult days of my life!

Alots of you PMed me & asked how did I make it through...I mentioned it before & I'll mention it again (if Key Grip don't mind)...it was the previous experience, I had alots of aptitude tests in OAT, DAE flight academy, Alpha Aviation Academy & Etihad (twice)...I passed all of them except the first time with Etihad because of alots of mainly:

1. Not Sleeping well before tests
2. Giving priority to solving one hard question while there are 10 easy ones that I can do within the same time (in GK test)...i.e. time management!

For all who didn't make it...specially Gustavo (one of my best friends), please try again...this is what I did, I know that life is unfair...but don't give up, thats what a Captain in Etihad said...DO NOT QUIT :ok:

If this Thread/Forum will stay active...I'll keep you updated about Stage 2 assessments.

Keygrip

5th Aug 2009, 10:55

*If I don't mind*?

Your post is exactly what the thread wanted - topical information and advice.

What frustrated us was the plethora of "Who's going?", "Does anyone have an e-mail?", "I haven't got one" type messages that meant absolutely nothing to readers. Al that stuff is for you to chat on facebook with, not PPRuNe.

Your last post was ideal.

Hi People, I got some news...

Alots of people made it through the assessments in Abu Dhabi specially, I have no exact number (more than 28 i.e. more than FRA & LHR), competition will be really tough...thats alots of preparation!, if anybody knows the exact or Approx. number of the people who made it through to stage 2...please inform us :ugh:, afterall all what I am looking (dreaming) for since 2004 is to be an Etihad Captain flying "from Abu Dhabi to the world" :sad:

Hope I make it through :ok:...if anybody have/has any advise...please email me...I really need it to make my dream come true.

Thanks Etihad , thanks M.D. for letting me have the best experience of my life, breathe the air of the Academy, and being surrounded by Etihad Pilots its awesome..:eek: and that encourages me to fight for this dream even more.
i'll see you in six months eh ! , i will be in Al Ain no matter what.
Malirm dear friend, you'll make it , you deserve it, you're very smart just study a lot
and wait for me in Al Ain ok? I'll be there soon ! I won't forget that you'll teach me arabic;)

malirm

6th Aug 2009, 18:21

No Problem man, I'll teach you Arabic like ABC :) I've done it before & I'll do it later, did you know that if you work in an airline & you know an extra laguage than English you get paid for it...in my case I was paid 600 AED in Emirates...I'm now refreshing my French & hope to get back on track soon!

About thanking Etihad...I would 2nd say what you said in your last post :ok:.

About the 2nd stage, I think there will be some Psychomotor, Group exercise, Interviews & some further testing...usually on the first 2 days !...what do you say guys?...am I the Only one in PPRuNe who has made it through?, come on, give me an idea :ugh:

BabyGirl

7th Aug 2009, 03:08

that is so unfair - when i was at the test i was the only girl and he (captain) looked at me and said play more games on the consoles
anyways i suppose practice makes perfect

Heartiest congratulations to all who have made it through the assessments so far. Must have been a tiring and fruitful journey for you guys and girls. I have my assessment in SIN called off. Hope that they will return here one day. Looking forward to that.

For those who did not go through, never give up trying. We shall strive for what we want to be. All the best to you people.

Marlim, been following closely to this forum. I must agree that you are one of the coolest guy I've seen over here. You don't need luck to proceed further. Its in your blood.

13th Aug 2009, 06:34

if i recall correctly the terms of use..this page IS public and everyone is allowed to take part in the forum. But if you do not appreciate muslems (which is obvious in this case and we all know why...) keep it for yourself....it might be very very expensive . so please DO not use these expressions.any more
its a discrimination

Keygrip

15th Aug 2009, 11:59

I understand that, CA, but you posted the same question FOUR times within less than an hour.

I removed three of them - leaving your best one for others to respond to.

Just post the message and WAIT for someone to get back to you.

I do note, however, that the message I left in view has disappeared. I can assure you *I* did not remove it. I'll re-open one of the others.

Having said that, it may be worth your while to look at the thread "PILAPT type game" in this forum.

Etihadghostrider

16th Aug 2009, 09:18

I think you must mean you had a problem with the Psychometric testing. Psychomotor testing comes in the second stage assesment.

You wouldn't know what you passed or failed on in the first stage as they give no feed back. Try looking at the Quantas Cadet Pilot online test.

That might help.

RunSick

16th Aug 2009, 15:34

The computer gives you the feedback (1-10) after each of three tries at the ILS. If you for example score 0 - 0 - 1, you can be pretty sure how you did it.:E

captain abdullah

16th Aug 2009, 16:33

i got 2-3-1

RunSick

17th Aug 2009, 02:01

That's one of the worst case scenarios, low scores, no improving (sorry about that).
The capacity of LEARNING and IMPROVING is what's being measured, apart from your hand-eye coordination of course. So, I would say any result below 5 = fail. 5 or more it's fundamental to get better each time. For example, it's better to achive 5-6-7 than say 8-7-6.

malirm

17th Aug 2009, 04:57

I got 5-6-7, then got in the flying through the squares about 9-10-9 :ok:...I didn't know about the rest!, hope I get a high score in the shapes & colours...thanks Keygrip for the clue...it is a really nice & enjoyable game

Nothing till this moment, maybe because most of AUH assessment guys are actual residents of UAE (low number of Flight Arrangemts), I think its enough to be informed about the dates beforehand (8 - 10 Sep.) to get us ready, maybe the confirmation/extra info email will be sent 1 week earlier (31 Aug or 1 Sep)...hope not later :)

Hope a good number makes it through out of 20 people who made it to Round 2

By the way...Ramadan Kareem , for those who don't know it, Google it :)

Only 20 people? How certain are you about that figure?

It just seems to be a lot less than I expected to make it through!

I'm not sure what the relevance of knowing how many people are coming to the second round. How does it effect those coming? Is it that there are only 5 places or something?
As for guessing where people are coming from again, I would think there are bigger issues for those actually coming to the second round!!

Focus on the bigger picture folks!

Focus on the bigger picture folks!

Thanks for the advise EYZ ... exactly there is no point in guessing or counting, well to be honest, I posted numbers & some other stuff to protect some sides of my posts from "KeyGrip"...

I Just started preparing...(had GCAA tests this week & I nailed it) :ok:

This would be (maybe) one of my very last posts overhere...lets get professional :)

Mike - I'd email them if I were you. I've received my tickets, hotel accommodation and itineraries for the days that we will be over there.

I just got the email, see you guys in the Hotel, I'll PM you to plan something for relaxation at the night before the test...& get you into bed on time :)

Hey LE Vans...I see you are in Group A...best way to start honestly

Good Luck...:ok:

Just came back from the assessments, I just wanted to thank Etihad for making it a really one of my best experiences...

well, they say that "Great people are those people who, when you sit with, you feel Great"...well thats Etihad People :ok: Thanks EY Cadet Team...

I want to thank all the guys who were with me in the first day & couldn't make it & I want to thank all the guys who were with me for the rest of the time or actually all the guys who I were with!...I really enjoyed it, sharing the stresses, laughs, up & downs...these days will be in my memory for ever :)

I have nothing more to say except "Fingers Crossed", I will be more than happy to hear some good news about you guys in the few coming days...hope you all get through, you are great...you deserve it :ok:

LEvans

15th Sep 2009, 05:52

So - Anyone heard anything back?

I'm still just waiting patiently for a no/maybe :)

malirm

15th Sep 2009, 09:14

I got a "NO"...pretty sure I know why (that's the advantage of being in Abu Dhabi for the last 21 Years), I'll feedback to all PPRuNers with the reason...:ok: its gonna take time, hope EY cadet team got what they want :) in the professional way that I experienced.

Anyways, I think you've made it man...see you again in Abu Dhabi (hopefully), I think I'll join Etihad in 2012 as a professional pilot.

Sorry to hear that malirm. Did you get an email or phonecall? I Still haven't heard anything....

Bravo Papa

17th Sep 2009, 12:22

So Malirm.. Why do you think you got a "No"?

RunSick

17th Sep 2009, 13:45

Yes, I think that would be some valuable information. Why do think you got the "no"

malirm

17th Sep 2009, 15:48

Hi guys, thank you for the question...I am in the process to confirm excatly what happened, I won't spread it on PPRuNe...I think it'll be better to inform EY, anyways...it isn't important until I confirm it. I have established some kind of contact that I must say...really professional & concerned.

Please don't get the picture of me going against Etihad or hating it, I still have the aircraft models in my room & still sure that I'll be one of Etihad Flight Crews, my problem is simple & I hope to get some good feedback from Etihad within the coming few days according to what I got.

For the guys waiting for the email, I think they are still processing, for me, I got a definitive "NO"...i.e. you are way better than me, where I can say I am really proud to have met you guys, anyways, I am in Abu Dhabi, we can still meet when you come for the training...I have alots of ground school preparation materials & other stuff that could help you in your training :ok:.

I know that I'll be flying anyways, see you in 2012 in Etihad, I always have a plan B, specially in Aviation, I am preparing for Plan C!, good luck, now the responsiblity starts...takecare, don't be arrogant...although you made it through hundreds of people.

Hi Friends,
I submitted my application back in May, but havent got any reply except one automated reply from Eithad. So where exactly i stands. Is it just simply means that they are not conducting any more assesments or they just holding it for next assesment ?
Have we got any more assesment coming in this years or next year ???

Hippieman

22nd Sep 2009, 21:05

Etihad stopped accepting applications for the cadet pilot assessment early this year because all of the places got filled up.

I assume thats why you didn't get a reply from them.

They might put your application on hold for next year's assessment but I am not sure.

You should contact them and ask them or re-apply for next year's assessment.

Applications for next year's assessment should be open by the end of this year, on the Etihad careers website.

Best of luck :ok:

do you know when they will begin?
at this point i am not even sure if they are having another year of assesssments :(
i tried to make it for abu dhabi this year but i was stranded in quebec and as an english speaker from toronto.. it wasnt so easy ill tell ya that! but atleast i can speak french now :D!

any information on future assessments would be very much appreciated!!

LEvans

5th Oct 2009, 14:49

Digging up an old thread - but I was accepted, and am now in the holding pool waiting for a start date!

I'm still shocked. What an absolute awesome experience it was, and I just like to say thanks to all the people at Etihad for the experience and opportunity!

Anyone else lurking who was accepted from the last batch?

Hippieman

9th Oct 2009, 23:55

Etihad pays for accommodation and travel for the second round of the selection process in the UAE, but not for the first round of the selection process. The first round is conducted in various cities around the world, you can choose which city to attend it in. Only successful applicants from the first round go to the second round.
All the best!

Does anyone know If it is still possible to apply for the next global cadet programme?
I can't find it anymore on their homepage..:rolleyes:

Hippieman

10th Oct 2009, 23:41

No it is not possible to apply yet.
It should be possible soon though so keep checking.

in the assessment for 2010 or 2011(if they go that further) I hope that they keep an Indian city as one of their assessment centers as this will give atleast one oppurtunity to the vast yet financially weak talent available in India. :ok: :ok: :ok:

HE means that many people cannot afford to pay for a trip to london or Singapore let alone pay for their own CPL. Im one of them. I had to go through hell to buy a ticket to London for the Feb assessments. Didnt get through to stage 2 so basically its $1500 down the drain(not counting living expenses)Mind you I blame no one but myself cause i know where I went wrong but im just saying. Many people dont have those opportunities and tehres a lot of potential out there. but arent there cadet pilot schemes in India?! You'd think there'd be loads. in my country theres one airline and they hire cadets every 3-4 years:(.

satwikroy

16th Oct 2009, 05:35

@FL999
there were cadet pilot programs set up by SpiceJet Airlines , Indigo Airlines & Kingfisher Airlines in India. But the problem is that neither do they sponsor the cadets training nor they garauntee a job which is the worst part of it. SpiceJet specially proved to be the worst as they took in nearly 120 candidates to give job to only 5 or 6 .Indigo was doing well but for some reason they have temporarily shut down their cadet pilot scheme. No news of the Kingfisher Airlines.
by the way which country are you from??

Ronand

16th Oct 2009, 10:02

Well I think it would be just fair if they are holding the assesment again in London. This way people from the most countries can get there fairly cheap... If they would choose India everybody else would have huge travel expenses....
But who knows if there will be a next assesment.... Couldn't attend the last ones (fell sick just 2 days before):ugh:

satwikroy

16th Oct 2009, 11:15

@Ronand
the airlines should opt for a system where everyone can get equal oppurtunities. Reaching London can be cheap for people of some countries
(like Ireland & other european countries) but for some it is cheap travelling to India(like the asian countries). After all what will be the use of a GLOBAL CADET PILOT PROGRAM if it does not give equal oppurtunity to everyone.
Since you talk of everybodies travelling expenses becoming huge do you mean to say that there are interested candidates in Europe only??

Ronand

16th Oct 2009, 11:23

True, but I just hope it will be somewhere in Europe! Does anyone know all cities which have been chosen for assesments in the last years?

satwikroy

16th Oct 2009, 12:34

@ wannabeQF:
get a reality check man!! India along with China are two of the most speedily developing economies
in this time of recession major industries are looking towards India so why the aviation industry should be any different?
besides that a lot of the successful people in USA/Europe are Indians suggesting their is no lack of talent in India but just the right resources are not available to everyone.
And what do you really mean by a 'third world country'?
U seem to be a big fan of former Australian Cricketer Matthew Hayden who made a similar comment .
