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...
Hi all,
I'm trying to find out some details about how this sponsorship works, more precisely, about the contract terms. I know this may be a little premature at this point, but the sooner I (and probably everyone interested) get this info the better.
According to their website,
The company shall be entitled to recover from the cadet on demand the sponsorship cost on a pro rata basis (i.e in proportion to the sponsorship cost incurred by the company to sponsor participation in the programme). If, prior to the successful completion of the programme the cadet: -fails to comply with any of the employment obligations and training attendance requirements; -is for any reason expelled or prohibited from continuing the training and/or fails to complete the training within the period specified; -fails to pass satisfactorily any final GCAA examination given by the training provider as per the GCAA regulation and as a result participation in the programme is discontinued; -fails to achieve the minimum requirement of the training; make unsatisfactory progress with any aspect of the training or fails to display the necessary aptitude for the training; or discontinues, suspends or terminates training at any time before completion of the programme. The company shall be entitled to recover the sponsorship cost in full (and subject to any right of set off as stated in the joining contract) if after completion of the programme, the cadet fails to comply with any of the stated obligations in the joining contract.
Does this mean that the cadet, if, for any reason, is unable to successfully complete the training, will have to pay the sponsorship cost in full? Isn't there any kind of Protection Plan (as in the NetJets/OAT scheme, for instance)? If anyone knows something more specific about this issue, please let me know.
hello everyone i applied for etihad cadet program, so was just wondering if any one has applied to that program, if yes then how was it and if you can share some experience.
Did u apply on 04th? Well I think its nt the case coz I had applied on 09th and the same is contrary to what u said, bt u knw sumthng, I wud love to have ur thought right. Anyways all the best!!!
hey metallica, I dont think the numbers are related to the order in which you applied. Mine is in the 4800's and I applied before you on the 8th April 2008.
That's exactly what I wanted to say, its nt related to the date bt it has to be applicant's sequence so, expecting more than 5000 odd candidates. 12 out of 5000, phooohhhh
I have not applied yet, I would apply for the 2nd class (at the end of this year) anyway, but I was wondering: does everyone has a round number like 4000 or 4800, maybe the last zero is there just for fun or something...
Mine is 08/03/09052...I've applied on the 20th of March...just after hearing the news (Registration was opened on the 19th of March), I think it is a random No. generated from the System not only for us but for all pilots applying (Professional & Non Professional) OR Maybe for all applicants of any Dept., anyways..if they contact me...I'll inform all PPRuNe guys applying.
did anyone got an email after the first automatic generated that you have submitted ur application. stating your application has been shortlisted for the program or no?
