There are no end of service benifits assuch at Etihad. Right now the closest thing you get is one months pay for every year of service asseverence pay.
As to the other post about bonding. All bonds are for five years. They are not amortized. the 777 bond is AED 294, 000.
so if you come as an F/O and get an upgrade on the 330 that is AED 220000,
then get trained on the 340 another 74000. then in two years another course on the 380 add AED 294 000. you will owe them around 600 000 and three or four years to go on the bond.
There is lots of room for improvement and rumours of an improved package on the horizon. Rumours being as good as the paper they are written on. However our lot here has been steadily improving in bits and pieces. For example a much better insurance package, and some company provided apartments showing up. I am optimistic that with the new management coming in changes well come.
