Hi,
Anyone got any info on working for Ethiopian... Working conditions, benefits, do they pay education costs for kids... Is the expat lifestyle okay in Addis ?
Cheers!

interview
Interview includes a medical that takes most of the day due to a lot of waiting around. Standard stuff, including chest xray, blood work, EKG. No EEG.
Sim ride is very straight forward, no surprises. Steep turns, stall series, 2 engine approach, 2 engine missed, Eng fail at V1, SE approach, SE missed. Normal landing.
Interview with Director of Ops and one management lady (HR?) lasted 45 minutes to an hour. Lots of questions about leadership. Some simple technical stuff. Nothing complicated. Open ended questions.
They will put you in a hotel that is clean and comfortable. Huge rooms. But it is on the edge of the city, and there isn't much around it. All meals in the hotel restaurant are paid for.
That is all I can think of. The whole thing took 1.5 days for me. There is nothing mysterious or unusual about the process. Just go in there and be yourself.

Very nice network, high standard, very friendly peoples, not everything is perfect regarding organization but improving...and of course not the best T&C
Life in Addis is cool, good weather, cheap costs except cars and "housing"

Hi catplaystation , Don`t even think about commuting ,the 737 is very busy and the guys are flying almost everyday. The pay is not bad especially if you work overtime which you will for sure.

ETA
I was just hired here. People are great, this is for the B737NG. Take home 8300 a month which is 6500 base and 1800 perdeim/month. They give ya about 1250 USD a month for housing. Some things are not perfect, but its africa. Yes, 10 days off every 6 weeks so no prob for commuting plus biz class ticket to wherever they go. I know they are having trouble with retaining guys so there are rumors about increase pay and maybe get onto some other a/c.

Just to be clear, 8300 plus 1250 all figures in USD ? or 8300 € plus 1250$,
or just plain ol 8300$
TOTAL.
Do you know yet how much it is going to cost you to find somewhere to live that you WANT to live in ?
Thinking about this for later in the year, any other info you can tell us after you have been there a little while will be much appreciated
