could anyone tell me what the cabin crew accomodation is like? I know we will be staying in hotels at first- do we get our own room?? and what are the permanent apartments like??

also, do i need to get a copy of my chest x-ray to bring to abu dhabi? My doctor only filled out the papers saying everything was fine...

Thanks...

On the medical forms it says that all investigations should be attached in original and at this line there was also the Chest XRay listed! i don`t know if it belongs to the investigations but I am taking mine with me to AUh as some of those who joined told me that it is important cuase the AME will ask for it and for the dentist one when he will be going through you medicals and doing some checkups with u!

Mine was for free so I will take it anyway!

So long as we have the 2 bitewings and the panoramic x-rays from the Dentist, then that's all we need to attach. On the medical forms, they only mentioned to attach the dental x-rays, nothing about the chest x-ray. I wouldn't worry about bringing it. My doctor didn't even see mine. He just had a form from the hospital that stated that everything was healthy and normal.

For accommodations, I'm pretty sure most people get put into a hotel for a while, which I believe is your own, you don't have to share. But we may get lucky and get into an apartment, which we will have 1 or 2 roommates.

How is everyone doing with medicals//packing//etc...? When are you all leaving?

Cabin Managers/SCCM recruitment

Hi,

Anyone heard from recruitment about the cabin manager/ sccm applications???

I had an email requesting I send them choice of city from assessment schedule, but have not heard anything else since... ( a month ago...)

I have tried to call them, but every number I have been given for recruitment so far is either an answer machine or just keeps ringing - does anyone have a direct contact number where I can speak to a person!?

Many Thanks

Dazedandconfused....

There are no more room for crew in any of the Etihad Accomadation Towers..There are 16 in total in Abu Dhabi..all Choc-a-block.

Few hundred are currently in Hotels/Apartments. In these ones you will have you own Room..Depending on the hotel/apartment I cannot tell you what the rooms are like.

Once the first phase of Etihad Village is open within the next few weeks. Those crew living in Temporary accomadation such as hotels/apartments will be first to be relocated. This is spanking new, with gym, pool, sauna, shops etc etc etc...Eventually all of EY will be living there...

Whisky777 Try 505-8000 this is the main Switchboard who can put you through to HR/Recruitment.

Nickvan to dazednconfused

Hi all!!
Guys and girls is nice to be back!! HE HE long time no see!!
Nikvan are you etihad crew?...if you are give complete information do not let the neebies wonder so much! I hope i did not ofend you by sayig this.

dazednconfused my friend as nickvan mentioned there is a village so to say that is beeing built at the moment first phase of construsction will be completede this year late September....it has all that you need except that is in the middle of the desert near to Etihad academy and 5 minutes away from the airport.

For some people this may seem ok but there is no taxi station ..to go to the city except if you have your own car.
The accomodation will be the same as before :1 appartment fully furbished for 2 cabin crew same sex; each one in his own room and his private bathroom, only things to share are the living room and the kitchen..you have washing mashine and dryer microvawe cooker oven..etc
For the Cabin managers is a different story....

I there is anything you want to ask please fell free to send a PM to my inbox.

I hope i can put some lite on all the intrests!!

Regards to all!!

Melbourne Recruitment Day 3rd July

Hi All....

Did anyone here attend the Melbourne Recruitment day on 3rd July? Has anyone heard if they have progressed?

I have received an email and i know my references have been checked but i have not heard anything... yet. It has been a week since my reference check... i guess i am being impatient but, like the rest of you i'm sure, i am wanting the good news.

If anyone can shed some light. That would be great. Also, any Melboune folk... get in touch.

hey maeson:

You should definitely be hearing something soon. My references were checked before I got the "we are happy to inform you..." email. The time between when I had my interview and when I got my contract was close to 4 weeks. I am assuming you will hear either this week or next.

Good luck and see you in AUH!

Thanks Macquillage,

Do many people get this far and not get accepted???

Also, during traing i assume you are on base salary. Is that enought to live off for the first two months or should i plan to take extra cash? (assuming i get the job of course). If so... how much extra should i plan to save..

Oh no worries! I'm always happy to help.

Umm, I think most people make it on to the medicals round, but some people have gotten rejected after the final interview.

I'm not in AUH yet, but where you are making your base salary, I will assume it will be enough to buy yourself food, and maybe pay the odd bill here and there, or so I am hoping, as I have spent all of my money on getting my medicals.

Oh, LOL! Yes, when I said 'final interview' I meant the people who made it through to the final stage at the assessment day. Sorry for the confusion!
