do we have any idea what type of maths its going to be? because the words numerical reasoning give me the impression of interpreting graphs, tables, and other numerical data to answer questions. but the other guy who did the tests says the questions are more like conversions, long division, multiplication etc. Its a tough call! I guess we should prepare for both!

I do agree that the computer based aptitude tests are likely to be in AUH otherwise Etihad would have to transport a dozen computers around the europe.

I've found that the logical reasoning tests come in one of two forms: 1) spot the pattern in the changing diagrams and discover what the missing one is OR 2) all the diagrams have something in common (for example they all have 2 triangles) and you have to select one that has the same unique property from four/five options. and i think they both require completely different skills!

Thoughts!!

As I understand our aussie friends will have to wait until September, its the States next.
I am not sure that the cadet scheme is the main way for EY to get pilots, I think the direct entry route is quicker and cheaper!!

He is another thought, if the people in the UK, and Europe are the first ones to be tested and then they publish all the tests on here and facebook, will it not give a real advantage to those in Canada, the US and Australia who are being tested after but are all competing for the same places?
If I was on the first selections I would be careful about reducing my chances by revealing all the questions, anyway its just a though!!

Well, you are absolutely right. Not only to protect one's chances but also to keep the process as fair as possible.

I definetly agree with EYZ.

I also think that whoever made the facebook group to privatize it. You are making this more competitve for yoursefl, we all know how powerful of a social networking/advertising tool facebook is. You are giving this scheme free advertisement, and from what i heard, this whole scheme has not been very advertised! Thats why im not joining the group (yet), have many wanna be pilot "friends" on FB.

Its a tough life

I hope that there won't be any assholes that will reveal the solutions of the exam of Frankfurt.

That's would be so stupid, also because you know that companies, Etihad included, looks the forum each day.

But, I have an asking: if there we'll be aproximately 50 people, how it will be possible that we'll can expose all our CV in the interviews?

What do you mean by "how are we going to expose our CV..." 50 people is not too many. In an Emirates open day for cabin crew you would probably find 300 people on stage one. Easily. And again, apparently there are no interviews on stage one. As the email says, only an introduction and tests will be conducted.

Etihad Cadet Pilot Program...

Managed to jus submit the application for Etihad Cadet early this morning at about 0200hrs Singapore time. As anyone would have expected, I was having fun with the NA fields and all the rest of 1 and 0 digits.

Have been reading the posts here and I suppose everyone who applied is still waiting for EY to revert? Anyone knows if at age 31, EY will still consider giving you a shot if you can show them where your interest lies? Being Singaporean, have previously applied to the SQ Cadet scheme, but was not selected after Final interviews....screwed me up a bit, considering my dream was to be a pilot since young....

Would someone please revert on the age 31 query please.

Also, for all you fans out there, SQ is hiring pilots for cadet training in big batches. Mainly recruiting cadets from HKG, Malaysia (KUL, PEN), India (BOM). Do log in and try your luck. Make dreams come alive!

SQ Site: www.singaporeair.com.sg => choose careers, then technical crew/pilots.

Cheers!

Hi, im afraid you are over the age limitation. All of us who have been called for the first assessment stage next week in Frankfurt or in London are under age 27. As it says on the website, the accepted age range is 18-26.

Thank's for the singapore tip!

for Aeromar, from the section "Recruitmen process" on Etihad website:


"Interview

Shortlisted candidates will undergo a personal interview. This may be conducted by telephone, on a one-to-one basis or as part of an assessment center. The Company conducts suitable skills and personality tests as part of the process for selected positions. After the successful completion of the personal interview, candidates will have to undergo an administrative clearance process.
"


This was written also for the pilot programme.

I applied 2nd of may but have yet to hear anything. Seeing that many have received emails and talk about the status of their applications, I can't seem to find the 'status' column under 'my workspace'. There was also some talk about asians not being invited, can anyone shed some light on this?

Hi, this is how it would look like. Apparently there are a couple nationalities they are leaving on hold, maybe for assessments in the future.
Good luck!

I guess that it's due to bad organization, because I did not receive any 2nd e-mail, even though I confirmed my availability on monday...
