Etihad - Wannabees & Recruitment III

[10002level]

Flapsforty,

I was taught at school never to start a sentence with the word "But". Consider yourself reprimanded.

Mother is the most beautiful word in the English language, according to a survey of over 40,000 overseas voters and learners of English at our teaching centres. The survey was conducted to coincide with our 70th anniversary celebrations.

We asked over 7,000 learners in 46 countries what they considered to be the most beautiful words in the English language. In addition an online poll was run via our websites in all non-English speaking countries.

The online poll was constructed and the results analysed using Confirmit, the world’s Number one online survey and reporting software www.confirmit.com. Over 35,000 people voted.

According to the survey results, the top eleven most beautiful words in the English language are as follows:

Mother
Passion
Smile
Love
Eternity
Fantastic
Destiny
Freedom
Liberty
Tranquillity
V1

OK, the last one was added by myself, but I guess that there were not many pilots among the 40,000 surveyed.

3 weeks later

Well its been 3 weeks since my final interview and its killing me! This waiting game isnt so fun lol. One week feels like one month.... well anyways I hope I hear some news soon. Hopefuly good news!

By the way does anyone know whats the go with the asthma test for the medicals? I use to suffer from it as a kid but it hasnt botherd me for years now. Im worried that it mite effect me passing the medicals??? If you asthma or have had it does it mean you cant be cabin crew???

Well hope someone can get back to me on that.

All the best to you all out there!

Mr1A

I wouldn't worry yourself too much - I dont suffer with asthma however I do have other medical problems that have been picked up on previous medicals.

Normally - as long as it doesnt affect you now, it won't be a problem. If they detect that something is still not 100% they may just write it into your contract that you are aware of your condition and will get yourself check out on a regular basis to ensure you are fit to fly.

With asthma, I can not see any reason why it would prohibit you from any cabin crew vacancy.

Good luck - I hope you hear back soon! Its horrid having to wait for a result but I'm sure you'll have done fine!!!

Mr 1A: I am in the same boat as you, and I think a lot of people are in the same boat with us as well, LOL! I'm just waiting for the okay to do the medicals, and then hopefully, take off for AUH next month or July.

I agree with DivingDiva about your asthma. I believe that when you do your medicals, they basically want to make sure you're in good health, and that you don't have anything infectious or contagious, like TB, STD's, etc. You dont want to infect the rest of the crew.

See you in AUH!

Hi! I recently saw an Etihad uniform that was a light grey skirt, jacket and hat (minus the white scarf) with red gloves and a red and white scarf tied around the neck. Does anyone know who wears this? I was thinking maybe it was the cabin manager?

[NordicJetSet]

Yeah, it's the cabin manager. Etihad has two different service concepts, on the "inspired service" flights CM wears that uniform and there's also F&B Manager onboard those flights.

Starting Dates

Hi, this is my first post on this web site, looking for some information about the hiring process at Etihad. I recieved an e-mail and phone call a few days ago telling me that I was hired and was wondering what the time frame was like for the future ahead.

I knew someone who was just hired my Emirates and she was told she had 12 months to work out when she could move over. And did so after 6 months.

I don't know what the time frame is for Etihad do they try and get you there asap? once your hired.

I am concerned because I have various commitements coming up like leases that need to be renewed courses that I am enrolled to study in that if I need to move over in the next month will be fine other wise the next window will be 6months!

MY BIG QUESTION IS : will Etihad wait that long? And will they think that I am just not interested if I even ask if they are flexible with that type of starting date.

I know everything doesn't work out perfectly all the time and I do SOOO want the job but its a huge move and there is a MILLION things that people have to organise hopefully someone can answer my questions. THANKS IN ADVANCE

[Mr 1A!]

Im In! Wow!

Hey all.... I just got my call yesterday to say welcome!! IM STILL IN SHOCK! wow my dream is coming true after waiting for sooo long. Iv tried with all different airlines for the last 2 years and now its finaly happening...

My start date may change but it will be either 06JUL or 13JUL.

And to everyone out there trying, dont give up!!! I tried three times with Etihad alone and didnt get in until now.

Well still feels like a dream....sooo excited!

What's Going On With The Assessment Days????

Hi everyone, I checked the Etihad assessment days schedule the other day, and they put new dates for the interviews in the US, for New York they put: June 14, but now I just checked the website and they changed the dates again... , now they just changed it to June 20 and they don't even specify the place... , it just says US june 20 ... does anyone know what's going on???... , I still haven't received an email from them..

I'm starting to get really anxious about all this... I mean, at least I would like to know the final and real date for the Assessment day here in New York.. , does anyone know if they send you the invitation 2 or 1 week before the assessment day?.

Has anyone got the invitation already?? , if anyone of you know the real date for the NY assessment day, I'll be Very, Very Thankful if you could Please tell me, all this waiting is horrible... I Really need to know.. , you can send me a private message if you want, I'll be looking forward for your answers.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE

[jqlass]

Im in!

OH my gosh... I went to the same open day as Mr1A and got "that call" the other day... ONly 3 weeks after the assessment day - they dont muck around thats for sure!! Im so excited but very nervous as well!! My start date is the 13th of July.... anyone else starting then??

[brisbane_australia]

rockerplz Just calm down

Hi, now I have only ever attended one recruitment day about a month ago in Australia. They don't list the place its been held at on the net so randoms can't turn up they will let you know all the required info in your invitation email. If you don't recieve one then your not invited. There was people there on the day that recieved invitations two days before and a month before so it varies. The date has obviosly changed to the latest announced date, most likely due to logistical reasons trying to get them around to everywhere is prob difficult to organise.

My advice to you is if you do get an invite then relax before going I know this is such an exciting opp and might mean the world to you but I can tell you one thing for sure the girls that were the most nervous on the day were the first to go. When you think about it if they are going to trust you in a metal tube with their company name and potentially dollars that could be sued away because of your actions you need to be able to deal with some hairy situations. If they see you can't even deal with an iterview then your stuffed. hope that helped

[Jihane86]

YOu should call them ans ask them about your application! give them your reference number and tell them that you are able to attend the assessment day in New York! the assessment day is very very easy and as long as you have what they are looking for you will be fine! Just stay cool and relaxed and give them a call! They are very very friendly!

Of course it is an axciting opportunity an dtime is running! SO give them a call and get your invitation! At my assessment day they sent all those who were not invited back to home so don`t waste your time to ask for the venue if you wont`t get invited! May be the next time! Good luck anyway!

I`m starting on July 6th!

[Mr Seatback 2]

Once you've done the interviews, and receive an email that your application goes through all the processes, how long does it take on average for them to give you the call?

A few of my friends have been called within 7 days...and others that are still waiting?

I know it's not an exact science...but is there a worst case scenario?

[chicken or fish 2]

I've missed your posts!

I've missed your posts Mr Seatback 2....
Sorry.....I don't have the answer to your question....BUT.... do you have any "hot airline" goss you could post on the other threads?

Thanks

[Mr 1A!]

Hey there,

I just got confirmed that my start date will now be the 13JULY... Im soo excited but going MAD with the medicals ....and the cost of them! but it will be worth it I know... only thing is il have no money to start with haha.

So who else is starting on the 13th July???

Oh and mr seatback 2.... I feel for you!!! wish they would hurry up and tell you your starting on the 13th as well!!! Be great if we all in the same batch.
