Go for it =).
As a FB u'll get more salary than a cm, only layovers (maybe turnarounds will come soon...), and most of them are in Europe. No Dhaka for fb (which explains the higher salary, cm's must do all sorts of flights). Fb are working in first class ONLY, as a normal cc with more responsibility. They have to have more knowledge and then they have 2 do some paperwork, not sure abt what.. Guess abt the food in some way =P.
Not sure abt accom, as they're mainly in hotel right now. Theres a huge shortage of apts here, so expect 2 be in a hotel for at least 6 months. And then 2 be moved out 2 the etihad village next 2 the airport. Mabe not so nice right now, but give it a year and thats where the new abu dhabi is beeing built.

Small repeat
Hi all,
If any current EY crew can verify these things for me i would be appreciative- I'm looking at returning to the UAE and think Etihad might be the way forward.
I'm quite concerned at the salaries, at face value it's less than EK (3000dhs base versus 3650) and the set pay of 288 a day? What if you are on a 14hour JFK? Say you had a 'rest' day the day before- is that classed as a duty day and hence payable? What bout when you are down route? you are in BNE for the night- do you get your 288 as you land there that morning PLUS 384 food allowance? or just one or the other? And for those that say they never make less than 9000, is that as a junior economy crew member? And how many hours/ flights is that?
I'm pleased to hear accomodation sounds the same.
When you say trained on 320, is that short haul? If I joined eithad and wasn't trained on 320 could I at all avoid turn arounds and BOM!?
I was also pleased to hear bout friends being able to travel. That sounds great!
Any info from current crew is appreciated!

Here's some info. The base pay is 3300 after 6 months (or from the start if you have previous experience). You get the set pay for every duty day, even if you're on sby and don't get called for a flight. And basically you get that for every day of your trip + allowance. For the rest days you don't get it. The 9000 is quite true for junior crew.
At the moment all the new crew are trained on 320 and the plan is to train everyone else also because there's lots of new 320's coming. Lots of turnarounds are operated with 330's and 340's so you wouldn't be able to avoid them anyway

Hey Nikisia
971 2 505-8000 is the switchboard.
As far as Im aware. There has been a decline with the recruitment drive in Asia/SE Asia the past few months. Instead at the training academy I only saw new commers from Eastern Europeans/Europe & Australia . As we already have a high number of Asian nationalities within the Cabin crew area. This is just to balance numbers.
This is what a friend of mine who is in recruitment informed me.
Goodluck.

EY on9 application
i have submitted my on9 application to EY one year ago, but since then even thou i updated my on9 application once in a while there isn't anymore acknowledge email, is tis wat happen??
I tried to withdraw tat one and recreate a new application, but the system could sense tat I have used those personal particular before ???
Just wonder if EY really review every single updated application cos most of the interviews are by invitation only??? any chance to walk in???

Still undecided
Hi all, thanks for the info regarding the EY Vs EK pay. I'm still a little uncertain as to whether I'd be getting a better deal with EY, I like the idea of longer layovers, and the schedule leads me to believe that in most destinations I'd probably be looking at 48hours down route? Can anyone tell me if thats common? Also with regards to the layover allowances, can you tell me again- if I landed at say 2am on a morning, down route, would I recieve both the daily pay and the allowance?
Do you get discount at the hotel as crew?
So many other questions!
I never made it to Abu Dhabi from Dubai- is there anyone out there than can compare the two?

Is it to late??
hi everyone!!
so nice to read sll your stories and journies through being selected. i read that etihad has decreased their amount of vacancies???i applied online and i know they coming here in september, but now with so little vacancies open, do you reckon that their is practically no chance of them contacting me???especially without any previous cabin crew experience??
any case all the best to those getting ready to depart!!!
kind regards,
lee

No, go for it!! I have no cabin crew experience and I got through. If they are coming to your city they must want more people from your area. Apply online and see if you get invited. What have you got to lose?!

Hobart RockStarr; I'm working for EY since 10 months now. In the first 6 months I usually got around 7500-8800. Now, after completing the first 6 months its min 9000 max 11000, it all depends on luck with the flights. Almost all the layovers are 24 hours, sin-bne, jnb, casablanca (can never remember the code for that one), kul, bru, yyz can be longer.
If u do a normal layover, it will go over 3 days on your roster. You will then be payed 250*3+24*layover allowance for that region.
Ive jsut been rated for A320, so can't say anything abt it yet, but theyve changed the schedule so there's loads of layovers now. One seems really nice 4 hours to india, 24 hour layover, 4 hours back to AUH, 3 h to syria and 24 hour layover and then back.
At some hotels u get discounts, some don't. Its funny how ordering roomservice in Manchester can be cheaper than in Thailand due to the 50% discount vs 0%.
Dubai and Abu Dhabi are different worlds! We have maybe 3 or 4 clubs here, if u could really call it that as all girls are Etihad and all guys are understimulated arabs (plus the few male crew). Theres not as much traffic, a lot more locals, less nice cars (but somehow I've spotted 4 ferraris, one ashton martin, 2 rolls royce and one bentley in 3 days now??). We got Picasso at Emirates Palace, and new museums after a couple of years... It's all down to what u like, if its all about partying go for Dubai. If u like a more relaxed and down to earth lifestyle go for AD.
