general questions
Hello, I have a few questions too... :-)
- Do you have to fill in a form with your exact 5 year history? (I am not too sure about exact dates!)
- So what happens after the final interview? Who ends up making the decision on whether you're able to join?
-When they say "all the necessary clearences" is that checking if you have a criminal record? Or is that calling the references provided by you?
- Last but not least, is it absolutely crucial that I smile showing teeth on the pictures I bring for the assessment day?
Thanks everyone!!

Dear lavelaso, I had my interview in October
The interview was very easy, I made many interviews and this one was fine, the 2 girls there were very nice to us.
It was an assessment day with 30-35 people. Many were sent home just because of their English. The English test was really easy, really basic English believe me.
Final interview: as I saw...they want you to be ready to leave your life in your home country for them. They want to see you open minded towards new cultures. They ask you about your cusotmer services experince (I am already a CC so it was not difficult for me), they ask examples, like the British airlines...but they also are interested in your own life experiences with other cultures. They want to see you accepting other cultures, remember it!! Just talk,smile,speak, let them see you love diferent culktures, that you are able to respect them.
They also asked me what should I do and think if I find myself sharing my room with a Chinese or east girls cooking strange food in out kitchen.....you must answer that you wouldn't complain and you would happily accept their food and way of living.
About passengers and flying: you are onboard for their safety FIRST! Then you must be tactful, help them....you don't go there only to fly the world but beacuse you love attending passengers and you love meeting people and respond for their needs anytime. Be confident but not too much and smile always.
I answer you here as maybe other people need what I wrote

You don't absolutely need to provide 5 years history references, this happens ONLY in the British Airlines!!! I did so in the UK and I can't describe how was awful.....but in EY you don't need it
You need reference ONLY if you have at least ONE YEAR FLYING EXPERIENCE so they make an adjustment on your basic salary which will be higher since the beginning when joining EY
Abput clearance...I don't know...they make all the secyrity checks on you but I have no idea how they do so!
It's really important to smile at the interview!!! You will also have to pass some medical exams and X-ray in your country prior to join the company!

After 6mos you have 2 id50s and 2 id90s for your friends to use. it is not unlimited, only yourself and your parents gets the unlimited discounts. This will be explained further in your 1st week of training.
After training, you will be flying. After all, this is what you came for, to work. And remember: more flying means more pay.

I have already worked for foreign airlines and everything was written about the training: I had transportation, hotel room and breakfast.
As the HR people don't say anything and the contract is very poor of info, it is my right to ask such things.
I just want to know this as I'll have to pay for my meals with no salary for all my training course. It was not a stupid question

I would love to answer ALL Of your questions.
But please include them ALL In 1 post. Every posting of yours is asking too much of detailed questions. Some unnecessary ones.
Just some advice.
Thanks.

I AM SORRY BUT I don't think that the decision to move and work in the UAE is something light and easy.
I have NO IDEA how things work over there as there's a lot of confusion.
I don't make silly questions, right?
So be kinder and more respectfull to those people like me who are coming to change their life and to get new challanges as You, yourself, have already done, OK?

Flygirl330,
No question is a silly question. Ask all you want. As you see this is the Etihad Discussion III. As per moderator. The search function is most useful.
Every question you have queried has already been asked and answered. I myself have answered many of your questions asked by other users in the forum. You just need to search through the Etihad Forums. Seek and you shall find.

Hey Guys,
can somebody tell me what the reason is for all the crew who are resigning from Etihad Airways? Especially those from Far East, Europe and Australia! I was told by EY cabin crew that more than 150 leave each month....what is the reason exactly?
Doing saturday first service with Lufthansa to Shanghai! So excited

I got the most unexpected message
After being rejected several weeks ago, I got the most unexpected message last Sunday: from Etihad!! They said they are ready to process my file!!!
Fine, no problem, let's see what happens....Oh, no, I won't start the "whooohoo I'm in" because it is not so...yet. They advised me to wait for the contract first. Of course.
I do not have a DOJ, I was not yet told to start the medicals. So....let's wait...It is difficult not to dream - again - about it but I promised myself I will not re-start dreaming and hoping, because I do not want to be dissapointed once again.

I have not gotten the "rejection" email. I last checked my application status, and there was none. It used to say "under review" so hopefully, an invitation will be next! Anyone know if this is typical?
