Hi Guys
I haven't heared any news about applicants from middle east and North Africa (Egypt)
Are they planning to take any people from this part of the world or not?

Hi SU-GCM

Thats a GOOD Question...I think most of the cadets would be from the Airline's Home (Middle East / Arabian Countries)...don't know, it seems that Etihad went all around the world & forgot the Middle-East, North Africa & most parts of Asia...

I think (hope) these places would be their target for next Year...

I'm not sure but I think Etihad did a UAE selection first, from my information 3 of the people from the first course were selected from a UAE non staff, non UAE national selection. It was the very first worldwide selection they held, about 50 people attended, same tests etc...

@malirm
If that's correct I would be really shocked that they neglected this part of the world

@EYZ
I think that was the Etihad (NATIONAL) Cadet pilot programe and that was only for the Nationals (Locals) of the U.A.E and according to what i heared there were only like 6 applicants,,,ppl correct me if wrong

Your wrong, there are people non uae nationals in Al Ain on a course right now who were selected from a UAE expat selection. I was there!!

As i understand there will be another middle eastern selection, in the middle of next year as part of the world tour!!

@ EYZ

I heard that small selections were done in the UAE back in June...limited to a very small number of people...I didn't want to sound negative in my last post about it, but I think EY didn't cover it well last time (looking at when I applied & when did the others apply & got invited)...

lets hope we get into the assessments next year...

Tommy you've missed the uk assessments for this year, they took place on the 28th and 29th of July 2008. I guess you will have to wait till they come by next year.

I also have a quick question.
How long did it take to get a response from Etihad (or at least to let the status change from "applied" to "under review" after you have applied? ( I applied on 15th September). I know this has been mentioned posts before but i think its a bit easier if you'd give me a quick reply rather than me searching the whole thread.

Cheers!

Mine was 'under review' when I was called for the assessment.

787-101, where are you located?

The reason your applications are either blank/applied is most likely because assessments for 2008 are over; i.e. your applications will be considered for the next round of assessments to take place in 2009. Somebody in this thread or the Cadet Waiting List thread mentioned that Etihad will have info on their website in October about next year's assessments.

Hey I wouldn't stress guys, the dates will be up end of October from what I was told, and SYD will be around July so I think? they will probably be doing EU before that.

If in doubt re-apply

Oh that sucks! 6 months of waiting!!!

so, will the assessment for EUs be in October or will there only be the dates when the assessment actually will be? Also: where on the homepage can I find the dates? Cause I didnt find them before the last assessments. ^^
