150 a month is exaggerated.. Check other middle east carriers, i'm sure the same number of crews are resigning.
This is also 1 reason why the minimum age requirement to join EY changed, HR is tired of hiring young people who goes to Abu Dhabi and work as a cabin crew but doesn't know what it is all about and what the lifestyle in AUH is..
So harsh but true, you'd meet plenty of young crew who thinks they are paid to have fun.. not to work hard.. Complain about the simplest things

I would like to comment about the resignition rates in etihad, it's not true, people talk alots, and etiah is taking care of the crew and believe me they are trying their best, it's strue that there were some complications about accomodations and stuff before, but the crew and specialy the young and irresponsible ones are just talking for free, ... recently there were three fires in a nice building because of the stupidity of the crew, the crew like to talk a lots, and grapevines are just around, ... so for those who would like to join i would like to encourage them to come because if u like flying you will love it in here, i flew with qatar before and no need to give a picture of what's happening in there, ... etihad people have made a big effort and they are improving all the departments and believe me it's getting better, ... i know the HR people seem a bit lazy and not caring before i joined but when i came here i saw a different picture. don't believe what is saying in the forum, ...

SO TRUE EYner.
Been here a couple of months and I couldn't say it is bad, it is actually good, more than I have hoped for. It is basically how you see things and appreciate what the company is giving you.
For new joiners, hang in there. Know about the job and the base (AUH), this will make joining EY and moving in AUH easier if you know what you are getting into...
Good luck!

I would email them and say that you are going (if you are, of course), and then ask if the date is on the 14th of May OR June. They should reply and let you know the official date.
Hopefully I will get an invite to the same assessment day as you! Still waiting for mine! Did you email EY about the assessment day, or did they just send you one?

Marushka, wether it is in May or June, I would recommend you do some homework to sharpen up your English language skills, if you want to pass the selection.

Hey guys, for the assessment day did you have your passport photos and full length photo taken at a professional photographer or did you take them yourselves with a digital camera?
Would really appreciate if a few people could answer this....

In my 1st EY interview I had taken pictures myself, and I didn't make it through. In my 2nd EY interview I had professional pictures and made it through to the very end. 
I'm not saying there's a correlation between the two, as looking back now I was very under prepared for my 1st interview. I know pro pics are quite expensive, but I think it's really worth doing from the very beginning. With a good set you can ask for a CD and use them over and over (of course the objective is to only use them once)
PLUS if you get the job you're going to have to get pro pics done anyway, so it may as well be sooner rather than later.

Pro pictures
having professional pictures is a MUST when applying with any airline as much as having a clean and clear CV sheet and business attire and hair tied up and clean.
Remember to take pictures in business attire.

It's not a MUST thing!
Hi guys
I currently work for EY as a cabin crew, and just want to let you know that having professional photos is not a MUST thing at all!! If you want to and can afford it, just do so. I know it's pretty expensive and some people can't afford it, so don't encourage people to spend money on unnecessary thing. As long as you're wearing business attire and having neat hair and nice smile on the photo you will submit, that's enough and fine! I didn't have professional photos on my assessment day, but I was lucky and good enough to get this job.
Also, I know many of you guys are wondering how much money we actually make here. I really wanted to know before I joined here, too. Well, it really varies depending on your schedule, but I would say it's around 9000~11000 AED. For the first 6month of probational period, it is going to be hard to save money. Durig training? How can you possibly save money when your income is only 2500AED? I remember I was very happy and felt that I actually started making money after my probational period. Of course, I've made more than 11000 ~12000 and even 13000 AED a month, so expect to have some good months and bad months. Secondly, it can be also depending on currency exchange rates which you can't do anything about! For example, I lost almost $500 because of the bloody exchange rates, comparing the last time I sent money back home. I was so upset
If you want to know anything, just send me private messages. Have a good day!!
