Cabin managers (Pursers) make around 14-15,000 dhs per month. (Meal allowances included.) Single accomodation is offered.

You have to fly min. 1 year before you apply for the position. Previous experience is considered.

As far as I know.

Ethiad salary in euros please!

Hello everyone, does anybody knows how much is the average salary in euros or Pounds?

The site is a bit confusing as they advert from to... so how much comes to be every month in your pocket?
Is it a good company to work for? do they give you free tickets to go back home when you want for free? since the start?
thanks
(beside how's the life in Abu dhabi?)

A question re: uniform allocation...

1) Does EY provide crew with a large suitcase, as part of the uniform set; and
2) Do EY provide shoes as part of the uniform?

I've heard conflicting stories, so after a majority consensus now...Useful to know in advance before I pack/buy unnecessary items!

Etihad

I just had a question. I attended the Etihad open day last week wednesday 18th in Luton and got through to the final stage.

Just wondering how long it takes for Etihad to get back to you? Do they email you first then call and do they send the contracts after a phone call?

Any information would be great i am so excited for this opporunity and keep checking my emails every 10 mins.

Crew_Girl_2:

My experience was: 10 days after my FI, I got an email saying something like, "we are happy to inform you that we will continue to process your application for the necessary clearances and approvals, etc, etc..." That's the email you want to get, because I think there's another one that basically says "thanks, but no thanks." Then it took them 2 weeks to contact me, in which they sent me my contract, medical forms, and pre-training info.

I'm guessing you'll probably get an email within a week.

Hope that helps!

crew_girl_2

I think how long it takes varies from assessment to assessment... I went to the one in London on 29th April and the girls and I did not get a reply till after one month....we got the same email that maquillage is talking about..... then a week ago I finally got the call and an email with my contract etc.

I checked my email all the time too but eventually gave up cos it took sooooo long..... and it wasnt supposed to..... but in the end all worth it

yeah it was horrible not knowing whether i was in or out...at least now i can relax and just look forward to the move...

I wont be starting training till 31st of August as I realised I had some commitments here I cant get out of... Ryan told me to write "as soon as possible" on my contract though so it doesn't even say my doj.... pretty sure everyones joining before me but at least that way i will have people telling me what its like how about yourself?

so the average salary for Ethiad is around 9000-12.500 dhs wich is about 2,178.07 EUR???? ....

Guys I really dont understand why someone should go over there for that money, I mean even if they pay your accomodation you wont get rich for sure.. and if I think back when I was n 1 in ryan air I used to get that money working in my city!!! Sorry for my point of view but that's definately not a good salary.. there's nothing to do I think unfortunately aviation is not woth it anymore, at least not for people over 20 years old.. time to change.

i'm not here to GET RICH. i'm here to travel and see the corners of the globe which i am doing now. i get to save 75% of the salary every month cause everything is paid for by the company.

Uniform

Mr_Seatback2

Males - Suitcase and cabin bag
Females - Suitcase, cabin bag & handbag.

For shoes -

Males - 2 pairs black
Females - 1 Cabin Shoes for once onboard and 1 pair you change once you leave the aircraft.

On a yearly basis we are allocated with a points system in order for renewal uniform.

Andycool -

I guess each to their own when it comes to the salary part. But we have a large population of European Cabin crew here. There not only here for the salary..its the experience and the job that gets us going.
