That is great info and great news as well.
Thanks!
So, since all the info on the employment forum is out of date, let me ask you one more thing. When i started working for Emirates i didnt need to fill in an application since there was an open day that anyone could just go to, here in Madrid. This time I've completed the EY online application. Do i still have to wait until they conduct assessments in my city? How does that go.
Thank you for your time.

Well any kind of customer service experience is valued : )
Having worked for EK is not necessarily an automatic entrance ticket for EY..
Some prefer people who have never worked for an airline before, so they can "mould" them better to their own standards
Just apply when the time is right and use your experience on the interview, that should be enough : D

Food and Beverage Manager Etihad
hi everyone,
am new here and I used the "search" to look for some info on the interview for F & B managers in Etihad, but didnt really find anything.
could someone tell me where I can find more info on the interview, or maybe someone who went for the interview recently can help...
what kind of tests do we have to do? is it specifically wine knowledge or french cuisine or... ?
I am considering to apply, but am not sure if I have enough background;
many thanks for any input

Japan AD
From my own judgement, I think the reason why they're hosting an AD in Japan is because they need more Japanese cabin crew. This is because they're starting new routes to Tokyo by 2010, therefore they need some Japanese speaking cabin crews ready. I remember one of the recruiters from the AD in Melbourne which I attended way back in March mentioned of some routes expansion...
Anyway, congratulations to those who have made it and start their training soon! pray hard and hope for the best that the airline industry will pick up soon and have more recruitment days in months to come!
God bless

want to fly
You mentioned tokyo will be a new route. Where did you hear this and do you or does anyone happen to know about what other new routes are planned for 2010 ?
Im also wondering if some existing EY crew could elaborate on the promotional prospects for cabin crew. What exactly are the ranks you can move up along, and how long does it take for each step up? Does previous experience tend to mean you can apply for promotion sooner? I've been flying for a few years now and im determined to work right up into recruitment, training and management eventually so I would love to know more specifically about the career path in Etihad. Im really looking for detail on this subject if anyone can offer me that please?
Thanks a mill.

rachel lovelysmile just answered your question ahaha.

Guy becareful if you are travelling from your hometown to connect with an Etihad Flight. On the first Flight you MAY need to pay the excess charges on that Airline. As EY just books the ticket and usually makes no note in the system.
Keep the receipt as you will get reimbursed on arrival into AUH.

No Nickyvan,
in our information it is written that you don't have to pay extra baggage in case you have a direct fly with Etihad, for example, Milan-Abu Dhabi.
While it is written that if you have to take a connection with another airline, in that case you have to pay the extra baggage. Etihad will not reimburse you. That is what I read. So, if you have a direct flight with Etihad no problem for the 60Kg, if it is not the case, pay attention and do not exceed so much!!!
Bye!

KEFERN82,
They must have changed it. As new joiners back in the day were able to get reimbusment with the excess charges. Oh well sorry to those who have to pay. Kg rates arent cheap nowdays.

It always depends on the airline. Im from Spain and when i joined EK (different company, i know, but example still applies), i had to fly MAD-FRA-DXB. The Madrid Frankfurt leg was on Lufthansa and although i had excess baggage, i told them the story (cause there is some kind of camaraderie here in Spain among airline industry workers). Listen, i've been recruited to live in another country blablabla, and i have to take all my life with me. "EMIRATES?? HOW LUCKY!, Ok, no problem with your excess baggage. Have a good flight", was the answer. I took, one guitar, one bass guitar, one desktop computer, 2 monitors, and obviously all my clothes 
. Couldn't live without any of those.

yes of course!!! But you can't rely on Spaniards kindness!!! In Spain they are so friendly and "out of the rules", and maybe was a wonderful day that day for the check-in girl or boy...
I mean, if you are in Swiss or Germany (it's just an example) maybe they are a bit stricter and they follow stricly the rules on baggage limit!
So, if you are lucky that is what happened to you, if not, well, the rules are different if you fly with another (Nickvan was right, sorry, they will reimburse you the receipt):
here the rules:
Q 4. Does the 60 Kgs rule apply even if I am flying with a different carrier?
A. No. In this situation we need for you to please pay for the excess baggage for the non Etihad sector. Please retain the original receipt and apply for reimbursement once you arrive in Abu Dhabi.

Open day?!
Rachel,
what is exactly an open day?! What can we expect?! Do you have any information about it?!
I thought Etihad holds usually Assessment Days! This event is not even advertised on cabincrew.com!
I know that there used to be Open days (mostly in 2006-7) in Bahrain, Abu etc. and roadshows in the past. I'm a bit confused: I thought that there are a lot of people in the holding pool. Is it just registration or there will be assessment on the same day or during the week?!
Are they really looking for experienced Cabin Managers?! Does it mean that they hire Direct Entry Pursers?! I haven't seen the requirements anywhere...
If you have any useful information, please, let us know.
Thank you in advance!

Hi Mari,
It looks to me that since they are coming to Ireland to recruit technical personnel its probably just economical to recruit crew as well i guess. Of course there is a holding pool but they will surely need more crew next year and maybe they plan to add more to the pool so that new people are ready to be taken on as soon as the need arises.
I have been to an 'OPEN DAY' for Emirates before and it was basically the same as an Etihad assessment, the only difference being that at the Open day, very unsuitable, uninvited people turn up and they are screened and sent away and then assessment began, wheres as an 'Assessment centre' usually would only have invited people who are already pre-screened. Maybe if cabin crew register at this open day in dublin and Etihad like them, they might be put on a list for a future assessment, or they might get an assessment a day or two later or maybe even the same day...who knows. Its worth a shot anyway for anybody who is dying to get the foot in the door because it may be quite a while before they come back recruiting again.
