Jenster - I assume that it was you who started the "Etihad medical chages" thread.
A couple of people have replied in there, so I suggest having a look. Yes, you do have to pay for it

Hi
Thanks for the reply and good luck wishes. I only sent my pictures and CV off to an agency in Manchester 2 weeks ago and they sent them to Etihad to be vetted. Yes the medical costs are abit worrying and you are right I should go and find out for myself. So did you apply direct or through an agency?

Hey Jenster... I applied direct through Etihad's website. There's no agencies over here in NI that work in conjunction with the airlines so all there is to do is apply online & hope for the best. Good luck for Thursday, let me know how you do!!

Sometimes helps if you put an English address on the application, they reply to you by e-mail so it doesn't matter that it may not be your address but at least you would get invited to an A.D and N.I to somewhere in England is only a hop. I've done it and it worked for me and I lived in Spain!! Try and find out which agencies EY are using at the moment if your application is currently under review because unfortunately you can't change any details on it now!! Best of Luck

Just read my post and it sounds a bit more confusing than it should!!! When I actually went for my interviews my C.V did state my address as in Spain it's just that as the Assessment Days were primarily in the U.K I would have waited forever to get an invite if I left my address as Spain and I was more than happy to travel, the difference in this information was never noticed or questioned, they really don't care about that, you pay all your own x's anyway!! As for the medicals my experience of friends who got theirs done in the U.K is that they were expensive, I would recommend that you steer clear of these "private aviation medicals" as they work out much more expensive than just getting yourself organised, it really depends on your relationship with your own G.P! It varies greatly and my own experience will be of no relevance because mine were carried out in Spain.....it was a nightmare!! Once again...good luck!

I have a problem. I applied to Ethiad, Emirates and Gulf air about a month ago and haven't gotten a response. I reside in Grenada in the Caribbean and these airlines don't conduct interviews in the caribbean. I was wondering if any of these airlines conduct interviews by telephone.

Telephone interviews
As far as I am aware they do not conduct interviews over the telephone. they are really strict on appearance, it would be impossible for them. In fact I am sure that no airline would do it other than an initial telephone interview like Qantas. Your best hope would be to go to an open day somewhere that is closest to you, for instance in the States or South America and if it is an assessment day and not an open day then you must apply but put an address for that country otherwise your name won't come up when they are searching their database for applicants for that region.

I've never heard of it I'm afraid. It's a problem, when I did it I had to pay my return flights, transport on the ground, accommodation plus of course spending money and loss of earnings in my job! However, I now have the job I wanted so it was worth it. You just have to get organised to be there at the right time and in the meantime get a job in customer service of some description. What about more local airlines? Best of Luck

Donisha - I don't think you'd ever get an airline who would be spending their own money to get to to an interview. Firstly, they wouldn't waste their money when they don't need to, and also, the way they see it, heaps of people are after interviews, and if you're lucky enough to get one, you need to be able to get there, otherwise the next person in line will be invited to the interview!
It's just been announced that Melbourne's 'Telstra Dome' (huge sports stadium) will be renamed the 'Etihad Stadium' as of March next year to coincide with Etihad starting flights to Melbourne, yay!!
I'm excited, but on the news, they were asking people on the street if they knew who "Etihad" was, and not one person did! Oh well, it means positive things for me!
Really hope I get an invite to the Melbourne assessment day next month!
