any one know if ETH is still hiring FO's on wide body?

Yes they do, only type rated on 777 and/or 787

I hope they will consider me, Im 100h short of the requirements, Im applied thru FCI.

you can also apply directly with the airline, you find the info on eth website

Hi Davidaz68,
I did,but the email on the website doesnt seems to work, I filled the online application, I dont know if its enaught. It looklike they dont need F/O's anymore...

One Mile you have a PM

They did not cut any overtime allowances, simply now we have a reasonable lower monthly flight activity as more pilots joined the company. But there has not been any salary or allowance reduction

The kenyan refused for other reasons, anyway, i understand your point but since i have to fly for other 17 years, i'm very happy to fly 80 hrs or less. I m not interested in flying 100 and more hrs every month, if you are, be my guest.
I find this one a nice place to work with nice people, it s not the best contract around, it s true but one of the few to be a real commuting one.
Of course, it s only my personal opinion

Hi one mile. I talked to them 3-4 months ago, when I was also 100 hours short. I was told that, there is no way they can start my process, before reaching the minimum required.

Hey MD80767 Driver,

I got the same reply on Friday

Looking at joining EK, EY or QR at the moment. How does ET compare with the big 3 ME? I would like to give ET the benefit of the doubt after reading some good posts here.

Any info would be highly appreciated.

Hi All ..

The basic on the B737 is US$7500 ... what is the B777/787 Basic salary ...

Many thanks

I.Duke

The basic on 737 is 7000 + perdiem + bonus+ housing
On 777 is 9000 + same things
But you can get the info on ethiopian website, section "careers"

ETH depends on each others background or necessities. The 777 and 787 schedule are pretty much a monthly mess, this 20/10 scheme is ok if your home base is served daily from Addis or else you will have to sell your soul to the devil. Some guys accept anything and also bribe the schedulers to get better over time $$$ flights. Recently 7 schedulers were fired for that. The company has way too more airplanes than they can handle, there are a daily problem at the ramp: NO enough shuttle bus to carry the crew in and out the airplanes, when you ARR at the cargo terminal, be ready to wait up to 50 minutes for the shuttle.

After airborne no more communications to the company, they do not use ACARS for saving money, they delay the so called 6 monthly bonus every time, unless a month earlier you remind them almost daily. There are so many annoyances that our colleagues do not mention on this forum, Every month they loose pilots that just abandon the job and never come back, yes no resign just disappear.

Well, as I said earlier it all depends of each ones objective, sometime the necessity makes you find this job a breeze. Now the new contract for the 777 include a clause that you must do the 787 type and they will hold US$15K from you, good for the young boys, bad for the old foxes.

Anyway, the company is a mess but they do not care about AFDR, you close the door, pray, and go for it. The first officers are quite good indeed. Out of 12 pilots that joined the same time as me, 5 left within the first 12 months, I am struggling not to do so. If you go for a cargo flight be ready to to your job and the dispatch and coordination as well, you will be left alone wherever you are. Good luck!!!

Thanks Trim for info ...

Interesting post 77heavy ...

Good Luck ..

Any latest news? Read the 75/76s are going. Im rated on 737 with a current PC. My commute would be to the USA and see most of the flights stop in Lome Togo? Im really interested in going more for the adventure than anything. I have previos Africa experience.
Thanks for any info.

Look at their root map dude. ET flies direct to US. Sometimes a tech stop in Rome though. The Lome deal is a subsidiary of ET. The Thpanith seem to be over there, hence the unintelligible garble on the radio.

Eth is currently flying to US. To IAD and LAX (and YYZ) via Dublin and To EWR via Lome. On the way back to Addis, IAD and YYZ fly no-stop while the others make the same stop as they have traffic rights

Thanks Tri. I was trying to look at the site overseas but it was blocking me.

Hi everyone! I'm thinking to apply for B737 DEC position. I've read about some political issues in Addis Ababa recently, some demonstrations against the government. How is latest situation in Addis Ababa?
