Iata stuff
Hi to everybody..
In the airline business it is a limitation for a crew member to hold type rating for maximum of 4 types of aircraft.This is a logical case with etihad because they operate B777,A330,A340,A320,B767...so in these case they had to give one out to replace it with a new one.
I'm not very sure about this info,but i heard somebody saying that they are going to give out the B767.
Anybody has any info on new batch joining around 10th of February,any news,intels...
Best regards

I think the info you are referring to is for the cockpit crew not the cabin crew.
I currently work for Emirates and we have many ex EY employees ,, what i know is they are not limited to long or short haul ... their monthly roster includes a mixture of long, medium and short haul flights and they get type rated on different aircrafts . exactly the same as EK

Dear Sonic,
There is no such thing in ey ! i have just joined ey on the 25th of jan and we were three batches starting at the same time, we were all about 60 so there is no excess of crew, ... they need crew and they built a huge training center for that only, ... the training center is amazing, ...they are nice to us, the only issue that is annoying is the accomodation, BUt they are working on it (i am currently staying at the hotel), they are trying their best to accomodate every single crew, otherwise everything is good so far ... good luck for all of you and i hope that you will be able to make in here as soon as possible, ... by the way new batches are coming in february ... see you all
ciao

Hi EYner..
So, it is really true that they are just holding the applications because of the "training & accomodation" issues and not because they are already excess of CC. do you think they are going to proceed the applications for those who are on hold by February or still nothing confirmed???
HI SOnic83.. When was your assessment day? It's nice that your contact in EY told you at least an estimated date when to expect from them..
I sent them an email yesterday regarding my status and replied to me immediately.. they advised that at the moment they are unable to process my application due to "operational requirements" and they are currently contemplating on when to restart the process..
I also heard that some current Cabin Crews are on training for 1 month (I dont know when it started). & that's another factor why they cannot accomodate newcomers for now... (do you have any idea about this EYNER...)
Like you Sonic 83.. t ok for me to be on hold.. but I want to know if Im 100% IN or NOT.. (regardless of the medical clearance).. Im so excited!!!
Goodluck to all of us!!!!

!!news!! !!news!! !!news!!
I thought that what I have heard about etihad having more cabin crew staff than needed was just a rumor but seems its true.
I read this some where else " Hi, as it ias all the time said in assessemnt days of Middle Eastern Carriers that we should expect the unexpected I also could have this experience!
I received a nice call from Etihad telling me and apologizing themselves that they have recruited too much new crew than needed and that I was rejected!!!!!!!!
That means that I can apply again, as soon as they have available vacancies on their website!! I am a little bit upset but this is life! You can never have it as you want! Now I can stay with my family and my mother will send me to London to study medcine!!!!!!!I always wanted to do this as well!! Girls and Guys expect the unexpected!!!!!
Cheers
"
By the way he already did his medicals !

cabin crew delays
I am new to the site and am curious as everyone else is about everything you "hear" on this site. Patience is the best way forward at the moment! The airline is going through a massive growth period at the moment.
I know this as I have been accepted as On-Board F&B Manager. My interview was on the 6th December, 07 in Sydney. The first batch of training was on the 27th Jan, 08. They have had to shuffle a few start dates, and mine is currently 2nd March. They have 3 more scheduled start dates which appear to be the first Sunday of each month through till May. (Sunday is the first day of the week in the UAE).
Due to this role being a world first in the aviation industry and teething problems associated with new ventures, perhaps this is why Etihad Admin/HR have slowed down the intake - until everyone can take a deep breath.
It seems as though accomodation is the biggest hurdle, basically to deal with such a massive intake. However, what has been described about the airline sounds fantastic.
Be patient and good luck!

hi
Hi guys, I already sent my online application a few days ago, now my question is: do I have to wait now until march or april to hear any news from the company? ( in case they get interested in me, and send me an invitation for an assestment day) or you think Maybe I could hear something from them before that?.
By the way, does any one know by any chance if theyŽll continue the recruitment worldwide in march or april? , does any one know about the alleged future open day or assestment day in NY?, IŽll be looking forward for any answer.
THANK YOU

Wait for at LEAST late March, or April.
Just keep a check on this thread, I am sure someone will holler - with unparalleled enthusiasm & multiple exclamation marks - once the assesment days commence again. Or just check the EY website itself.

OK, before you get your hopes up people,
Please check out the pilot forums regarding Etihad. The place is in a shambles. There is no accommodation. There will be none for quite some time. HR is in a mess. They have not a clue how many crew they need. They will fire you on the spot for any reason. The CEO has endorsed in his latest news letter for Airport handling to report crew, crew to report pilots, pilots to report on anyone.
As for the F&B managers it is not the first in the industry. BA had it first about a decade ago. Ansett had it years back. The bafoon (CEO) who ran GulfAir into the ground took the idea from Ansett. Gulf Air now penniless and flying around ancient machinery due to no money in the bank is left with what is called Sky Chefs. The person who is +60 years old brought into run the program at GF by the bafoon (CEO) currently at Etihad is now in jail in Bahrain. This is his long time colleague and friend he brought from Oz. He has been under house arrest for the past 10 months. The Sky Chefs are still flying around at GF and probably the most abused position from the other crew onboard. They do a great job but are resented by the lower paid crew.
Etihad will put you in a hotel room at base for min 3 months. Remember this is the middle east. the novelty wears thin within months.
We are all trying to get out some of us are bonded and have to do our time before we are allowed to leave. This is not a vacation. Ask the hard questions and get it all in writing. They will say what you want to hear but will not put it in writing. test this theory.
Good Luck

Anyone received a phone call from EY HR? I got one this morning offering joining dates Feb 10th or March 2nd! I chose March 2nd. They called me at 6.50am my local time, so of course I was sleeping and was bit confused. The lady who called me seemed very busy, so she really didn't give me any other information. I'm just wondering if everything is now really confirmed. I'd have resign from my current job tomorrow, and I'm really nervous about it!
Those of you who have just joined EY, did you only receive the phone call or how were things handled?

They are constructing a new building for Cabin Crew Accomodation. So dont worry.. Other cabin crews were living in hotels for now because the building is not yet finished.. Here in Abu Dhabi, it is very hard to find a flat, because of many expatriates coming.. & not all flats are nice & good.
That's also one of the reasons why the applications for cabin crew were put on hold.
Also, I heard that HR dept's office will be moved to their new office building.. I dont know if it's finished already...
Good luck to us.. I hope they'll call us within few days.. at least advise us to do our medicals, and later arrange our joining date.. (if were lucky!)
