Interviews, jobs & sponsorshipDo ya feel lucky, Punk? Well do ya? If so, here's the place to swap the hot gen on who's sponsoring or employing, their selection criteria, and where those oh so elusive first jobs can be spotted in the wild. Watch out for the tumbleweeds...
Well, in the major factors of the creteria they have stated that 18-26; that's fine and then "medicaly fit" which means we have to upload our medical certificate too and at last "...diploma with proven high grades in maths and physics", Does it mean we have to upload our transcripts at these stages of the applications as well?
And SF, I have pasted some info regarding my background in this thread, so tell me what's your impression.

Hi Fredduciel
thanks for the reply, I received the automated reply that they've received my application... but did you get anything else after that??
Have a nice day
I worked on an Wet lease to Etihad. My month long exposure to Etihad was a good one, but I wouldn't want to live in the UAE for various reasons. The company has a great fleet, good service levels and a competent workforce. Most importantly for me, the crew food was very good
If you enjoy shopping there are some malls, some good restaurants, night clubs and bars are all a bit strange - all within hotels. Going for a night out on the lash in the Sheraton..hmmm. At the moment housing is tight and they are sending people out to 'moon base alpha' in the sand.
On the A320 which is where I guess you would start, I was flying places like Damascus, Cairo, Muscat, Karachi, Bahrain, Tehran etc.etc.
i heard that people in UAE are very difficult to get online.
What i have been gathered , you are not allowed to use Yahoo Messenger, facebook, youtube, Skype , Window Live messenger etc. And internet expenses are pretty high when comparing to rest of world. are they true?
Yes you get a lot of 'this site is blocked due to being against the political, moral and religious beliefs of the UAE' or something to that end.
You wouldn't be able to download Skype, however if it is already installed it works fine. MSN messenger works fine in the UAE. It was a fun game seeing how much porn you could get past the filters
Regarding internet prices, they were very expensive at the hotel I was staying at but relatively cheap at the local internet cafe. Because the Dirham is tied to the US dollar, it is very weak at the moment, so as a tourist visiting it is relatively cheap to live in the UAE, but not if you are working there. That said wages at Etihad for full pilots are very good, plus accommodation is provided etc.
i think you'll be alright if you have a class 1 medical, cos on the application form, it asked whether you had a class 1, 2 or 3. even if you did have 2 or 3, they would probably ask to upgrade it to 1.
they couldn't possibly filter out candidates by medical fitness, because the programme is for people with zero experience, so they necessarily won't even have had a medical done.
Well Frnds, what I feel is that having a Class I medical may nt be a prerequisite bt always a preferred option. Moreover, they may nt filter u out if u dun hav the medicals done yet bt they shall obviously require u 2 undergo medical test with the company n that can be a deciding factor. Although I dun think it shall be of much difference 2 those who hav undergone strict medical tests already.
Hey guys, every1 must hav received an application no. eg. EY/08/04/04050 is my app. no. the last four nos. indicates my sequence of application. That means I'm the 4050th applicant for the post. So, if we can post in our application nos. then probably we can asses an aproximate no. of candidates applied for the post, that shall surely be helpful, wht say guys!!!
Metallicwings, I reckon you are more likely to be the 50th candidate. I think 08/04/04 represents the date i.e. 4th april 2008, maybe that is when the application process was opened? Did you apply early?
Or maybe you are the 50th person who applied for a job on that particular date? My own application is down in the 400's (or 4400's),
