Hello there Squirly, that is good news indeed :]
Would be great to have you there on the 11th as well, Ianaav.!
One question tho, regarding the accomodation. Is it hotel for weeks of training or the apartment.?
Like some say, it varies, but if anyone here actually knows which one theyll throw us in, do post up, by all means :]
Cheers *Where is the beer icon.?

dazednconfused, you don't need to write your references on your CV.
They will ask you for two references from current or previous employers later and they will get in touch with them.

Training
Anybody here know how's the Abintio training about..? 7 wks training, read in the forum that there are tests going on.. There are people whom were sent back too..? Are there any feedbacks or any reasons behind..? I am quite concerned more about the training instead.

Thanks..But if they contact my references is that after they offer me the job? cos I dont want them to contact my current employer in case I dont get the job!!! Haven't even told them that I am going to this assessment as there is no need to if I dont get it..

I worked for Etihad last year and I can honestly say I was miserable.
Accomodation, Damp Dingy, Old fashioned apartments I stayed In Al Fardan which was awful I tried getting a move but housing didnt want to know.
Salary You need to save for the first few months as the salary is 3500dhs. Which is fine for training not when you start flying the first month I had to take pot noodles on layovers because I couldnt afford to eat out.
It gets better if you can get by the first few months.
Management. Awful. They dont have a clue about what they are doing but all you need to do is read on the pilots forum for what they think of hogan etc.
Pilots, crew etc all great real team spirit most of the time. I had some great flights and layovers are brilliant 24 hours in SYD at the Four Seasons etc.
The main issues is once you are in your in and no one seems to care if you dont have enough food. Or if you are living in an apartment that the AC has broke and it 35degrees in your apartment.
Training was brilliant and at a guess one of the best in the world.

Training is 7 weeks. There are many exams and if you don't pass one, you'll get another chance. If you still don't pass, you'll have to repeat that part of the training. And if you still are not able to pass, you are sent home. But if that happens, then you are really not the right person to work as cabin crew. Training is not that difficult, if you have right qualities, you'll pass with no problems.
And about the accommodation. I think it's just about luck, some people in the same batch will get hotel and some apartment. Of course they try put as many as possible directly to apartments. And you may have to stay at the hotel also after the training.

B4 you think of EY that they might contact your references just go for the assessment day and check what will come out for you! YOu never know! Go with low expectations as it wont make you sick if they wont be proceeding with you! YOu never know! I wish you good luck and as soon as you pass the first stage, you should be fine if you possess the qualities they are looking for in you!

Processing of Application
Jihane86.. I am in the same situation as you before.. They did asked me for company references through email and its really a positive sign.. They replied me again and said they will continue to process my application with the medical clearance and approvals..
You have got to wait for about a week to hear from them again..

Further to Kate's question above re the one (1) minute talk... given that a single minute is not long AT ALL... what are they looking for? posture, poise, slow speech, eye contact, confidence, lack of "ums" and "arghs"?

About the one minute topic, they give you a topic (you can not choose !) , you have one minute to get ready and one minute to talk.
They want to see if you are confident to talk in front of people!

Here are some examples of the topics they're going to give..
What is your favorite subject in school & why?
Describe your dream house.
What is your favorite gadget & why?
Describe your dream vacation?
Except for being a cabin crew, what career you want to choose?
gOOD LUCK!

Hi there, i went for the interview on the 14 of april 2008 in Singapore and after a week got an e-mail saying that they are processing my clearances and stuff. and to wait for their call or mail to do my medicals.
is this normal and from previous posts am i right to say it takes roughly a week or so before they get back to me?
Regards.
