I also have a question about the transportation provided by the company! If we should stay at hotels for the fisrt few months and we are in training how does this pick up service work? Do you have to take a taxy by yourself or will they pick anyone of the batch from the hotels around? i cannot understand this or do they put all trainees in the same hotels?
what about the pre course workbook? When they sent me the contract there was a link of a website designed by ETIHAD for the new joiners! There were several parts listed on the website about Airline Language etc. On the email, there was mentioned that we should learn this section as we will be tested about it within the first week of training! It`s too much!!!!!!
That airline language is alot to learn!! Im only use to airport language...so much more cabin language! Im trying to get that all in my head but some of them just wont stick in my head...well a week n abit to learn them before leaving!!
Sorry my apologies..Yes training starts Sundays..which is 29th July..today.
We still have a few hundred crew in temporary accomadation/Hotels.
The first phase of the "Etihad Village" is open. To my understanding the first to be relocated to the new village are those in Temporary accomadation/Hotels & New Cabin Managers.
If you are in Hotels during training and if so when you start flying. Transportation will collect you and drop you back before/after each flight.
During training you will learn alot of Airline/Safety Jargon. Especially when it comes to Boeing & Airbus...totally different procedures etc etc..All will make more sence once you go online. I dont want to scare anyone.
Eg. Diagram exams, we need to remember where all the equipment & stowage for each aircraft. Label & point out..etc etc...anyways..more be known when you join.
just wondering about something...what are the rules for staff travel and how many discounted tickets and by how much do i get for my family? and which family members are included??? I know that working for an airline one gets the chance to see the world if there are available seats on a flight so it doesnt make sense to me when they write that you get one confirmed ticket to ur home country a year.....can anyone clarify this please??
also, are EY part of any alliance or is it only possible to fly EY??
As crew we get 10 bonus tickets a year. On a yearly basis we can add up to 8 friends/relatives. Good thing we can add anyone.
Our Parents are automatically added on and they get unlimited ID90's and ID50's.
The 10 bonus tickets are 5 ID50's and 5 ID90's to use each year.
We can also book ID50's in Pearl (Business Class) Diamond (First Class) with EY which is great.
We have ZED agreements with many airlines. We can Book Staff tickets with LH & TK in business class etc etc.. ID50 Firm on EK and the list goes on.
Thanks for your reply... so I get 10 ticktes for other people than myself? and my parents can come visit me as much as they want?? or did i get it all wrong??
how many do I get for myself??
We get unlimited tickets (ID50/ID90) with Etihad. We can book ID50 in Pearl & Diamond zone too.
We have ZED agreements with many airlines as well where we can book ID50/ID90.
Your Parents will get unlimited travel on ID90's on Etihad. They will get 2 ID50's each a year also with Etihad.
They are also entitled to ZED tickets with other Carriers.
Your 8 friends/relatives get 10 tickets (5 ID50 & 5 ID90) between the 8 of them a year from your anniversary date.
Your going to be Cabin Crew... so what what you think comes with the training? Obviously Safety, Service & Aviation Heatlh.
Multiple choice & Writing, also diagrams included.
If you really want a run down...best you wait till you start training...
Guys please use the search option in this forum. Your questions have already been answered.
Hey my dears:-) My precourse wokrbook is nearly finished an I am doing fine! i always wanted to join ETIHAd and I will do my utmost to be a good crew member!
Who can tell me at what time classes usually start and for how long a day in the training academy lasts? When do you start and when do you finish?
On the website they sent us with the pre-course info, etc, it says that training normally begins at 0800 and ends at 1530, Sunday through Thursday. Depending on what we need to be doing, the training hours/days may vary. Training is 7 weeks.
As most of you aware...You will need to re-do your medicals in AUH as part of GCAA & Also in order to obtain your UAE Residence Visa.
The GCAA has recently upgraded the
medical standards of cabin crew from
class IV to class II, which is equivalent
to pilots, meaning medicals are abit tougher now.
This applies to all Cabincrew joining any UAE Carrier, Air Arabia, Emirates, Etihad, etc etc...
These changes include -
Psychiatric: standards have become more rigid • Neurological: cases of severe head injury, unconsciousness without explainable medical reason and all cases of epilepsy will be unfit for cabin crew duties • Cardiovascular: ECG will be a part of the medical examination • Visual: only safe defective cases of colour blindness will be accepted and individuals requiring visual correction or eye surgery will undergo complete examination • Hearing: any hearing loss or ear disease will
What are the exact visual requirekents for cabin crew joining a Carrier in the UAE? I am 100% colour safe and use contact lenses for visual correction and I do not have any problems. Are there any limits set??
I am joining etihad soon and i am quite curious to know what a typical monthly roster look like !
If anyone has an exemple, could you please show it me!
Just curious how long everyone had to wait to hear back from HR regarding your medicals? I sent mine just over a week ago and I still haven't heard back. I know that patience is a virtue, but it makes you so paranoid, LOL!
AND ARE THEY QUESTIONS WITH MULTIPLE ANSWERS.
