Hey pilot...I guess this thread is slowly dying. I liked it when the Europeans were still waiting to take their assessments, it was much more livelier then lol. But basically all we 25th of August invites are doing is sitting and waiting for more details.

Separate note:

Why is nobody posting?!?, if you decided to post in this thread you unknowingly took an oath to post everyday or close to it! Man, I miss the Europeans!

If they're anything like me they're checking their emails too often to see if they have been given a firm yes and a date for the second phase.

If the EY informant has any idea when we will hear if we are lucky enough to have been selected for August phase 2, my heart would appreciate it! Do we have to wait until after the New York Assessment? just this seems like rather short notice - not that I mind but you know - I'm severely nervous right now!

Probably a dumb question but would you think booking airline tickets and hotel before they reply is fine? I am assuming yes because I have already been "invited" What do you think?
I think booking the hotel/flights is definately a good idea....

I think they will wait for the NY assessments to see who makes it through and then combine the 'select few'.


I wouldn't worry though Matt you already made it past the first stage, all you basically have to master now is an interview.

No, I think you got it a bit wrong, it doesn't work quite like that. From what I gather, the Euro guys (and gals), who made it past the 1st day are being invited to Abu Dhabi for phase 2 for the Nov 08 start, I think maybe as early as the end of this month. The JFK and other assessments that will follow (I think SYD, and JNB) will be for cadets starting in 2009. So in a sense, our European friends will get first crack/shot at being the 12 international cadets!
I THINK that's how it is going to go down!

There, that is my post for today Deniz...

Firstly - loving the Frog

Secondly,

I think the 12 places Myth is dispelled (the interviewers mentioned one course that needed filling in NOV (already some UAE people on it) and four more next year so far- also teh Cabin Crew recruitment has said 50 vacancies since the airline started) - we were told that after the intial thanks you've passed email there would be a wait for further info about the next stage as they wanted all the results first - but the August phase 2 seems like maybe it will only be for the EU guys with the rest of the world (and more EU perhaps) attending the Oct/Nov Phase 2.

But I am totally just guessing so ignore me entirely really.....

I guess the biggest reason it's gone quiet on here is that someone said about 170 odd people are already out of the running so I guess they will not be posting much anymore.

I know I shoudl just be more patient but you know it's a career dream and all.....

Good luck to those guys in USA - but please try not to do too well! Just the same as me haha!

Europeans

Hello once again

Have posted a similar question a few days back but got pretty much unnoticed. Does anyone know if there will be any assesments for us europeans if we applied now, or if we have to travel to the other assesments, or if there will be other tests next year?

Any info is greatly appreciated, and sorry for posting the same question!

Good luck to all

EY cadet pilot

Hi people...

@ Suleman, we...sorry I really don't know...but being in Abu Dhabi, Oct/Nov would most probably be for Abu Dhabi & other places around it (for you a 3 hour flight)...as I understood from EYZ...
Just go through the posts in the back & get any possible info.

@ PPL152, again..I & most of us don't know, but definitly there will be another assessment tests for EU applicants this and/or next year...

@ link_142, I don't know if you can contact [email address]

Deniz D... I'll try to post as much as I can...the problem is that I am not the Funny type C U all in AD

Bookings

Hi everyone,

Hope the test preps are going well.

Who has made travel arrangements to head to NYC?

I still have not and, I need more detail, namely the time (9am, 1pm, assuming it follows the EU selection process).

Does anyone know what hotel the assessments may be in? (what hotel Etihad uses).

Have people just booked to go down on the Sunday (24th) and just stay close to JFK on Sunday, fly out late Monday?

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

-MJetR

I believe Etihad uses the Doubletree Hotel in Jamaica, NY. About 1/2 mile from JFK???

Don't 'qoute' me on this tho...

I'll be driving to NY on 8/24 and after visiting JFK and LGA to take pictures, I'll be headed back on the 25th.

I'm still waiting like everyone else for a time.

Hey guys it was quite last minute over here too - but then these guys are traveling around the world doing this assessment and they are all pilots/cabin crew (at least the ones in the UK were) aswell so I guess it's just a case of sit, wait and see, they'll respond when they can.

If you have been given a date and city - why not aim to get there the evening before anyway so you can be relaxed and rested.

Though I personally couldn't afford to stay in NYC anywhere nice............
