Hi guys,
I think that they have not got enough people for the training for may which is why they have resheduled it starting june. They are definately not doing an emirates.
The girl who got a call to push her date further didn't want to join the april 12th class which is why her date was pushed to june. So they are having difficulty filling their classes.
Less than 20 people attended at their assessment in portugal and they ended up with 4 for the final interview, that is wasting time and expenses. This might have been a reason they cancelled other assessment days.
There would probably be more waiting but don't get discouraged. Etihad is an amazing company and the recruiters were absolutely fantastic.
