Guys.
Just two key facts.
Etihad run a continual UAE National Cadet Pilot Programme which you will see on the internet all of the time.
Etihad have so far run 3 International Courses with something like 40 cadets in the scheme from all over the world.
Speculatively it has been mentioned that the International sceheme may re-open in early 2010 but as with last time I am sure the advert banners will appear on PPRuNe when they do...... so sit tight.
For Key Grips sake why not spend time reading the old threads where you will find all the information you will need.
