You should watch the news so that you see what is going on in the Netherlands! I am cabin crew with Lufthansa and even at Lufthansa we talked about this! So I dont know wheather you are informed about that stupid video of that dutch politician! I know that this is the Etihad Cab9in Crew Thread but dont forget that you are moving to a muslim country and that you dont travel there with any fears!!!!!!

For working crew
Hey guys!
I was wondering how does EY choose the crew for coral or pearl or diamond zones? Is it based on experience? Or do the crew work in all 3 zones? Is there any career growth opportunities?
Thanks

Possibly, but if it's not the guard will ring you to send him down to leave.
It's not just EY, it's the policy in the ME. Remember, we're not talking about a developed country here...

Hey flygirl330, I have a solution for you, get ride of that boyfriend and get a new one in AUH 
.
Just kidding, in EK everyone brings their "cousin", so, when you fill out the visitors form just say "cousin" and that´s it
.
Best of luck !!!

Dont complicate it ,,no one would ask you to prove anything unless someone has reported you .. as you long as you u're in good terms with your flatmates and the security guards , you'll be alright . Plan B --> get married

Flygirl330 & Chai Latte..
Flygirl330,
The course is approx 7 weeks, and as for your boyfriend, wake up..This is a muslim country, its illegal to have sex before marraige and the boy & girl thing is expected etc etc. Its not the end of the World. You should be more concerned with passing the Abintio training. The test papers and new SEP requirements are abit more diffulcult. Trainees have been sent home.
We just have to respect the laws & culture of this country. Problem we have is all these new crew joining, but not researching what this Country has with its customs/laws before flying over to the UAE. Ok its not to the extreme like Saudi. Females have there freedom here. Very Westernised but just things with Males/Females is a touchy subject here.
As for security guards in the building, they are changed every 4 weeks. So no time to make friends with security guards and all that. Its the whole point Etihad have this. Alot of trouble with crew making friends with guards and taking advantage. If you are a male crew wishing to see a female crew within the curfew. We just sign into a males apartment in that same building. No dramas. Non-Etihad employees is a big no FULLSTOP until 0800.
All new batches joining will be trained on all aircrafts.
-773
-332
-320 (Etihad not Air Malta)
-343
-346
-345.
As for existing crew we are all being trained on the 320 when we do our recurrents. When more crew are trained on 320, the less chances of getting turnarounds on these aircrafts.
Ianaav
You will be initially trained in Coral Economy and will stay that way.
Even with previous experience you will stay in Coral. Eventually batch per batch will be trained in the premium zones. But the process is slow and goes by seniority within the company.

Thank you Nickvan!
Your information is most helpful!
I want to go to work and save some money. I think it's not such a big problem with boyfriends and stuff. We should remember that we are going to work, not for partying. And as far as i understand there is so much to learn, we won't have time for boyfriend.

Msg to Flygirl330
don't want to be rude but...get some info about the culture down there before moving!!!!
They can't be so strict???
i believe you can do anything as long as you don't get caught...and I believe..well..I'll leave it or you'll hate me but I just don't feel like reading so many posts about your boyfriend...
Do you mind? One/two questions about it are enough..You got your answers now or d'you want to know the names of the guards?

Live From New York
HI GUYS, I WAS HAPPY TO KNOW THAT ETIHAD FINALLY PUT THE DATES FOR THEIR FUTURE ASSESTMENT DAYS HERE IN THS US. , ( ALTHOUGH THEY DIDN'T PUT THE EXACT DATES OR CITIES WHERE THEY'LL TAKE PLACE...) THEY JUST PUT: MAY/JUNE/JULY , AND THEY PUT: east/midwest/west , I hope they still come to New York like it said in the website, because I'll still be here in July, so that's good.
There was something I'm a little bit worried about: the new requirements, specially the one that says: " At least two years of experience in front line customer care - either as a cabin crew, hospitality or medical is preferred." , .... I don't have that kind of experience, those 2 years in front line customer care... do you think that it could be a problem for me the day of the assestment day??, I mean , could it be bad for my chances???
I don't have airline experience, I just did part of a training for a company, I had to leave due to family problems... if I mention that detail, do you think it would be good or bad for me??
I'll be looking forward for your coments, answers. Thank You.

Try not to let this new requirement bother you, there is always a chance to with them over with everything else you have. Try to highlight any service experience you've had, in any field of business - most jobs have some form of contact with clients or customers. Don't exaggerate though! 
Make the most use of your CV to summarize your accomplishments. Tailor the document to cabin crew specifically, try not to send one that you use as a generic one for any old job position.
Maybe you know all of this already, but if you need any samples or have other questions feel free to add me on messenger or PM me. I got a lot of help from this forum when I was applying and so I'm to return the favor to others (good karma and all that).

assessment day
Hey guys, I already got the invite for the assessment day in London on the 29th April and I am really excited. Can anyone tell me if they will ask questions such as "what challenges do Etihad face etc." cos I tried to do an online application for BA and that was one of the questions and I was lost! I have lots of customer experience and I think I would make a great flight attendant but should I read up on this stuff? I would be so lost if I got a question like that...
Cheers!

thanks lili2929
I guess I will just have to take it as it comes:-)
Also, when I read some of the old posts a psychometric test or something of the sorts is mentioned.. Is that still part of the assessment?! Cos most of the new ones only mention an English test..
