Good news
Hi, everybody,
I was sent the contract, I was told I passed the security clearance, now I have to start the medical exam. I'm all stressed out about these medicals!!!
I was thinking to chose 5th of may as DOJ.
The contract I got is for 2 years. Wasn't it supposed to be for 3 years?

2 years, 3 years.. the contract is renewable so it doesn't make much difference anyway.
I think in the interviews the recruiters say 3 years, but the contract itself is 2 years. Who knows why.

Hiiiii
uffffff still tired from my last HKG flight! It was brillant anyway!!!!
Congratulations to all who got the job with EY! I also remember that the recruitment lady told me that the contract is for 3 years! If you research the web you will find an information telling that the state of AbuDhabi gave Etihad a time slot until it has to fly into break even! And thats 2010! If you count 2 years up from now it will be 2010! So after that it will be decided wheather some or many employees have to be fired.....I guess so! This is the thing a company would do to plan all necessary things......but who knows! Anyway, no one knows anything there! They tell you this and tomorrow that and whats that kind of company that at first reject people and after some weeks ask them to join??? Com on please!!!!!
I am glad to be in Europe and my roster at Lufthansa also include Abu Dhabi but via Dammam in Saudi Arabia:-) So I am looking forward to seeing how everything is going on there:-)
P.S At Lufthansa we also get extra money for each language we speak on board:-))))) German, English, French, Spanish and Arabic:-)))) hehehehehe looking forward to my next salary:-)))))
CU and make sure you make the right decisions!

I am happy to hear that you are doin well and happy with lufthansa....
Just dont get why you have to be so critical of EY! Seems like you are still really bitter so it cannot be that bad if you are stll caught up in it! My advice is for you to move on and focus on your airline... It is a great thing to get accepted for an airline so you should just be happy with what you got....
I'm sure EY is not perfect, no airline is, but there must be people who are happy flying for them!! I for one want this job badly!! and yeah I would have been disappointed too had i benn in your shoes... but maybe its time to move on!!
just some friendly advice:-)

Sonic, please don't try to discourage us to fly with Etihad !
You are actually working for a great company, so that's fair enough
What kind of medical check do we have to undergo ?

Hi all. Im an ex Cabin Manager for Etihad Airways. Dont worry if you fail one part of your medical when your in AUH. I failed my blood pressure and had to keep retaking it a number of times till i passed. The company doctors are very friendly but strict. Be aware though that the lifestyle in AUH is nothing like that in Dubai so anyone expecting that will be dissapointed!!

The vaccinations here in Abu Dhabi are all for free, so don't worry about that. And no, they won't care if you don't have them all prior to joining.
I was told that the contract would be two years at my interview, and we got a bonus last year coz the airline did so good. They're also building accomadation like CRAZY so don't worry abt getting dismissed. Won't happen unless you do something UTTERLY stupid (like leaving the country twice when you're supposed to be working without even telling them, and mind you all i said TWICE).
Good Luck everyone =).

Anyone know how many people usually get invited for an assessment day or does that differ from country to country??!
also, the number of applicants that go through to final interview...does that vary depending on how many people are suitable or is there a limit??

The recruiters make it a point to let applicants know at assessment days that there is no minimum or maximum number of people they want to have left at the end of the day.. that they would take everyone if everyone happened to be suitable for the job.
Whether the turnout is 5 or 500, each person is considered on his/her own individual merit.
That said, from what I've read and experienced, usually there are about 4-10 applicants who make it through all the rounds. In mine last year there were 9 left.

Me (I'm not officially cabin crew yet, but I'm in).
My eyesight is insanely bad, I'm -5 in both eyes (or even more), but it doesn't matter in the slightest. As long as your myopia is correctable with contact lenses then no issues.

question
Hi to everyone, today I tried to enter to the Etihad careers website, ( cause someone said they already put the exact dates for the new assesment days) but I couldn't ... something was wrong with the website... has anyone seen what exact date they put for the assesment day here in NY?.
One last thing: in my online application I put that I live in south america, (in Bolivia)( in the "location" or "country" part) but right now, I'm in New York, I think I will stay here for some months, do you think that I could still get the invitation via email (for the assesment day that will take place here in NY) even though I put : Bolivia, in the "location" part of the application?, I would really appreciatte your answers.
THANK YOU

I think you have to contact them to let them know.. I experienced the same thing having to go outside my home country for an assessment and I had to contact them so they could pass on my application to the recruiters in that particular country!
Just curious, is anyone in here who went to the assessment day in either johannesburg or in singapore???

@ rockerplz - you need to keep all your contact and other info updated on the online application form, especially where you are currently residing, along with your contact number and email. Otherwise.. how are they meant to contact you, or send you the right invite?
@ dazednconfused - I know a guy who went to the Singapore interview here.. he said out of the 36(38? can't remember) people who showed up, 9 made it through. No idea about Johannesburg though.
