Dear tashal_bb,
in my opinion u would have to be CRAZY to leave AO to work for etihad! i am currently working for MAM as a casual and also have been invited to attend an interview on the 2nd of april. i have confirmed my attendance but am honestly having second thoughts now.......
the hot galley goss i hear is that u guys are gonna move from cairns to melb, to operate as LH FA's. apparently the melb LH base is short ( so i hear ! ). even if that doesnt happen stick to AO .
somebody said in one the threads that the pay is 7000 dirhams ( ALLOWANCES INCLUSIVE ) which WIth todaYS exchange rate works out to be = AUD 2426.00 tax free, not much really !!! .
I know u dont pay for accomodation but u will be away so much that all ur money just seems to disappear in front of ur eyes....
Good luck all ! might see u guys on the 2nd ( maybe ! ).
