Etihad Employment - threads merged - all you need to know

Dear Shortfuel, some A320 FO (4?) will go to the A330 very shortly due to shortage on the 330. These guys have been on the 320 for almost a year. This is not to be confused with MFF. Nevertheless this is good news.
Dear Mixomax, regarding time to command this is what I said on a similar thread:
http://www.pprune.org/forums/terms-endearment/329767-etihad-xxx.html?
We cannot blame any dec for accepting a job. But the damage is already done. Ey is committed on getting as many dec as they can instead of upgrading within. This year we are on 4 (average) upgrades per month. This is almost half of the number of upgrades we had last year but at the same time dec have more than double. We now have +400 FOs waiting for a command slot.
It is an alarming situation. If no upgrades no FO will join and if not enough FOs there will be no upgrades. Big expansion without fixing this first will change time to command to the worst.
Life in Abu Dhabi is not bad but it is highly related to housing and the location of it.
Job security is very good for as long you are willing to stay here.


Dear Speedtwoten, I have seen worst than that. Guys that haven't flown for up to a year managed to get a job with Ey.



All the best
