good luck for you in your final interview:p also for midadi and for all who wait for the success:ok: see you in dubai:D

@ midoy10

Don't you mean '..Abu Dhabi..' :oh:

Thanks Midoy, i've already made it to the final :} But i need some luck, that's for sure :p
Btw did u get my email with the cv?

Hi all,

yes thank you! But unfortunately I have not been invited for any assessments of Etihad:-(

Still hoping but as they have taken their asessment schedulae from their website I dont think that they will give me a chance:sad::sad::sad::bored::bored::bored:

This is life and I am not upset because of it!!! I keep on trying but anyhow good luck to those who are waiting!!!!!!!

Hi Boys and Girls:-)

I would like to encourage all of you who are put on hold! I got to know about one girl from germany who had her assessment day in Berlin (germany) in december. She told me that she received the "aaplication on hold" email from Etihad!

Now, here it comes:

She told me that the recruitment officer of Etihad Airways told her during Final Interview that all traning resources are full and they put all applications who are accepted by "Big Boss in Abu Dhabi" on hold! This girl asked her later again to make sure and so it is!!!!!!! All who are on hold have just to wait for the next stage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wish you all the best and just be patient!!! I am pretty sure that Etihad will also be better than Emirates in the near future! They wont be bigger than Emirates but more professional than them!! this is what an ex-cabincrew of Emirates told me!!!!!!!!!!!!

Warm regards!!!!!!!!!!!!

:p:p:p:p:p

Midadi.... :ok:

That's great to hear.. a few of us were still wondering if those on hold actually means that the upper management has approved.

So I suppose now we only need wait for the email giving us the go-ahead for the medicals..? :}

Hi Ashlea,

uhh I see that you are from Singapore! Wow, I really would like to see this beautiful city! But may be next year!!!

Well it seems so! I think that you are all approved! Why should they spend their time with people they dont want to hire! Its logical, isnt it??? But you said that some of you already got the rejection letter and the others were put on hold!

Anyhow, merry X-Mas and ahappy new year with every success!!!!!!!!!!!!:p:p:p:ok::ok::ok::ok:

Hey there ,,

I would like to wish you all a merry christmas and a wonderful newyear.

**Midadi, I like to read your posts , it gives me hope.. and as you said its logical since they already sent out rejection letters , so those kept on hold are as good as in .

The training system is full due to 160 resigning in Nov and 350 resigning in Dec. Not all newbees either.....

Be careful and come with your eyes open, expect blatent lies from the crew controllers and nasty memos about if you don't work you'll get the sack.

Still fun crew to be with most times....

All the best for the festive season! :ok:

@ CT7

If you don't mind me asking... How do you know such specific information? :ooh:

Do you imagine that as so many staff are resigning around this time, that those currently 'on hold' might expect to hear back from the recruitment management in January?

Hi there,

yes may be there are some who are resigning and I am 100% sure that these people are those who are as kids you know! You are not in Abu Dhabi to have a luxury life! It`s a beautiful city of course and in my opinion Etihad is really nice! You have that kind of resigning people at any company! Some don`t agree to the islamic way of life although it is mentioned during Open Days etc. etc. etc. some cannot handle their life without their families! It all depends! If you want to do this job go for it!! You will never find a job you are 100% sastisfied with! There are the positive and the negative things!
Ok I got to know about one Tunisian boy at an Emirates Open day who was employed at Etihad and he was not satisfied because in the past they did not give any laover allowances and thats the reason why he wanted to get out! I emailed with him last week and he told me that he is staying at Etihad and enjoying it really that much!
What I wanna say is that anybody should try and do the best of it! If it is that what you are looking for go for it and if not get out! Nobody will stop you! But please stop talking about this and that becuase of this kind of people sooo many wannabees might get the wrong thinking about the job and the company!!!!!!

Cheers

It's common knowledge. And seeing the amount of C/Crew in HR with signing out papers .... no room to move.

Hopefully someone will get the idea that something has to be done. More staff will help the situ but more are leaving than can be trained.
Also it is Christmas and the end of the year so that usually has something to do with it.

Simple adherance to rostering rules would do a lot along with more kinder tone in C/Crew memos from above, oh and someone above actually addressing these issues....

Still a good place to work if you can put up with min rest for a few more months...

People don't take what they read on these forums to be the almighty truth (unless they're very naive I suppose) - they only read the opinions of others to try and gauge for themselves what the job is. Both 'negative' and 'positive' comments have a place here.

As for the c/c memos.. if they are as severe as you say, then there must be a reason for it. It sounds like they are just trying to get a message across to the staff, which is fair enough you know. Cabin Crew are supposed to be able to make it to every shift in the year, and take only a bare minimum number of sick days.. :}

Personally I find this country very giving toward others. Sure there are some things that you dont do, but when in Rome....

Lots of things you cant do in for example Saudi....

CT7 is right in many ways for telling it like it is. Every company has its ups and downs and as a new recruit, it is always best to know that it is not all hunky dorey. There are both good and bad times to be had.

;)

I am curious that with so many leaving Etihad in a continual flow that they haven't considered off shore bases such as Sydney and say London maybe. Can they do this or choose not to. This would take the pressure off AUH housing problems & other issues! No aussies would leave if based in Sydney etc.

Could you imagine the trouble that would cause....??
Nah, there is something in UAE CAA regs about crew operating UAE Reg aircraft being based in the UAE. They looked at that option a while ago with flight deck.
Plus it requires more crew.

Hi everybody,

do you think 32 is too old to join Etihad as CC?

Do they have an upper age limit for new entrants?

I know a guy who passed their interview for Etihad and they were 31.. I say just go for both the airlines. If you're what they're looking for they'll take you. :)

New York Open Day?
 

Hi, how r you?, I read somewhere that Etihad is going to do an open day in New York, but I don´t know exactly when... , does anyone know if this is true?, and when will the open day would take place?, if anyone knows something about this I ´d be Really if you could please answer. I´ll be looking forward for your answers.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

rockerplz
 

Just keep checking

http://careers.etihadairways.com/ehi...aspx?NEWS_ID=2

website for updates.. I assume their assesment schedule will continue early Jan.

Hi..
My name is Timea...I have passed an assesment int.on 21.10.07 in Prague..Then I´ve received an email telling me that I need to wait for my visa..3 weeks ago I received a phone call from Etihad that I´ve got a visa and they asked me to start asap..I sad them that I can start in January..We agreed on 13.01.2008..I ´ve sent them 3-4 emails about some info..no answer till yet...So I don´t know what to do...:rolleyes:

Timea
 

You need to call them directly instead... its easy for emails to get overlooked I think, especially at the end of the year. I have the number of someone from the recruitment management at Etihad if you don't have the number already..

thanx for your help..but why are they not replying on emails??

They're insanely busy :}

If you really want to continue to try emailing them instead of calling, then make it easier for them by quoting your application number in the subject line, keeping your request short and sweet, etc.

Though I'd suggest that you try waiting for a little while (a week maybe) instead since you've already sent 3-4 emails.. they might get a little tiffed off with a 5th one ;)

Hi there,

well it was mentioned on other posts that soo many are currently resigning from Etihad! I got to know bout a rellay nice girl from Slovakia at the moment employed as Cabin Crew with Etihad! Certainly I asked her about the people who are resigning, especially the reasons!

This is what she told me:

Some only ned money to finish their university in their home country and they come to work for some months only!

Some want to get married and to have kids! The biological clock is just tick-tacking when you are 25 years old

Some, especially Europeans and Australians just cant get along with the arabic culture! They came to have fun and finishes beeing resigned!

Some dont care, they came to take a new opportunity to see the world and than go back to "daddy made heaven"

She told me that Etihad is a really nice compoany and that you have a great life with the crew!!!!!

Happy new year and catch you later!!!!
:ok::ok::ok::ok:

Thank you Ashlea, I already checked their website and there´re no dates for January yet, there´s nothing about New York yet, but I really hope they´ll go there soon, is it true that you can only go to an Etihad Recruitment day by invitation?, (after you applied online) , is that true?, I´ll be looking forward for your answers. Thank You.

Hi there in Bolivia!

Etihad Airways conducts assessment days only by invitations!! In your case just send in your online application form and contact them by phone that you are willing to travel if they are looking for cabin crew in the U.S

Sometimes they also have Open days where you don`t need an invitation but it is only either in Beirut (Lebanon) or in Australia!

As Ashlea said before keep on checking their cabin crew assessment shedule! I think that they are full at the moment as there is no new schedule on their career website!
But just keep on!!!!!

Keep my fingers crossed for you and good luck!:ok:

Happy New Year!
 

Happy New Year! Any news anyone on hold??? Can anyone please tell me the e-mail of the HR Department?
All the girls who passed with me got a refusal or an on hold letter, except me. Perhaps they lost me:uhoh:

ianaav
 

Sent you a private message with their email . Hope you hear something good soon.

is it possible to send me for example an email adress of that girl from Slovakia??Thanx

I Dont Think So
 

for the age no under 18yrs old but for those of 32 yrs i think is the suitable age to start as a cabin crew ,my brother start last year as a cabin crew for emirates 33 yrs old
so good luck my friend:D

Thanks .goldenboy! I hope we can all meet there!

hi

hello
 

I also applied through ASCG. Got the email saying that I had progressed on to the next stage and had to call them. I called and havent heard back since. That was a month ago. I even wrote an email asking them about it as they said i would hear back within 1-2 weeks. Strange!!
