Hi Krislam,

Congrats buddy..

Do us all a favour and Defer Uni hahahaha this is a once in a chance lifetime for most of us.....dont waste it I reckon

But most of us posting under this topic are in the same boat as you.

You should try reading your email again. You have been succusful but one more step is to complete the medical forms that were given during your final interview. If you didnt hand any references, certificates, resumes on the day of the assessment, then you need to forward them through to AUH via email. If already then no need to worry. As for $$$ No idea..will be on the contract..I know they got a payrise few weeks back...
Just proceed through with medical.

Once completed, medical forms you will need to forward your documentation back to AUH. Their medical team will have to re-check your medical forms and see if you are missing any tests etc etc. This ma take 2-4 weeks.

Once approved.. A Contract will be forwarded to you....This is where all your questions will be answered buddy.

You have a week to sign the contract and forward back to AUH. The final communication from AUH is your departure date. They will notify you once you send and sign the contracts. Unfortunately I did ask EY about leaving with the group that made it through in Sydney..but we will be put into different batches and each batch commences training on different dates so flying lonesome to AUH

Goodluck

Ps. Good On Ya Birdsofparadise!! Looks like an Aussie Invasion happening...

Hi, just been carrying out some research as off to AUH in nxt 6 months from DXB, from the Tech side, re accomodation. Been looking at buying as DXB is too expensive and found an opp that is 10-15 mins from airport. Not ready till end 08, but seems good value. If you want any info pm. me Cheers

Medicals

Hey everybody, it certainly will be an Aussie invasion. I also got my email today telling me to go ahead with medicals and provide them with two written references. And I know of one other guy who was at the Melbourne interviews who also got his email today.

Well it's time to be a crash test dummy and pin cushion all in one and get those medicals started !!!!! I'm looking forward to getting them all done, not a huge fan of needles

Anyway, congratulations to all that have received their emails and best of luck to all who are attending interviews.

I'm sure we'll keep each other informed on our experiences and I look forward to seeing you all in AUH !!!!! WOOOOHOOOO !!!!!!

Take care
Tanya

Congratulations

hi Guys
I just wanted to say WELL DONE to all you Aussies who have got in.
I have been watching this thread for a few weeks now, i feel like i really know all of you now.... lol
I flew with EY in Feb from Manchester to AUH and then a connecting flight from AUH to Muscat and return, and i must say, they were great.
I was cabin crew for a few years here in the UK, and my dream was always to be a Steward, and i can tell you now that EY is real flying and all the works.
The planes are pure luxury and the crew on all my flights were excellent.
Please let us know how you get on and keep in contact with what life is like, don't just leave me, please keep me informed and like i say, Well done and enjoy this once of a lifetime oppurtunity !!!!!!!
Michael xxxxxxxxxx

hey mike16, why did you quit flying ? is it because your age ?
I mean, I`m 31 and this summer I will start flying
(I got an offer letter from EK).

krislam,
saving money depend on your spending, right ?
and since there`s been salary increment in EY,
now you can get as musch as 3000 AUD / month.
maybe a little bit more, depends on flights.

Aussie Aussie Aussie!

Oi Oi Oi!

Hey congratulations to everybody for making this far!


The down under crew to join the ranks of Etihad will hopefully have 2 new members.

My partner and I both received the green light. I took today off work to start the medical.

Good luck to anyone still awaiting news, I'm sure you'll shine through.

Ciao for now!

Hope to see you all in AUH.

Kind regards,

B.O.P.


NICKVAN

Hey buddy!

Any news on your blood tests?

How long did your med tests take?

Talk soon.

Birdofparadise,

Its taken me a few days to do the medical. I thought I could do it in 2 days but thought wrong.
You need to go back and forth to the doctor and dentist. Also Xray places to get your xrays done. I started on Thu last week and today is my last day where I get my results and final vaccination.

Then email the documents this afternoon

OMG! Guys, i just also recieved my mail and I can do my medicals now...
I'm so glad i already started 2 weeks ago with doing the tests...
Did you guys do a Pulmonary Function Test? My doc wants me to do one in order to give her okay to the "respiratory" section... im not sure if i really need a do that... only got an appointment on the 25th... soooo loong to wait.
Wish i was in australia... seems to go very fast there... my doc needs me to wait 2 weeks inbetween every vaccination she gives me...

And, nickvan... can ya tell me,... as im not from an english speaking country, my docs dont really know what she should put into the findings line next to the examination points... here we have something like "O.B." which means something like any findings or everythings OK. What would an english speaking doctor write in there!?!
However,... hugs, hope to see ya all very soon in auh.... hugs, mat

Congrat Violinplayer21c! its about time huh!

I forwarded my documents yesterday and called them to confirm it was received.

The conversation then turn to "How soon can we get you here Nick?"
They got me on the spot. My medical will be assessed within 2-3 days max. We were already organising my departure date.

HR in AUH said they were bringing people over the next 4 weeks. As training batches are commencing every Sunday for the next 4 Sundays. So he's booked me in for departing 19th May 07!!! Which is the last batch before another batch is organised which will take awhile he said.
As people are still handing in their medicals...and not enough to start a new batch. Ahhhhhhhh its falling into place.

Violinplayer21C. In Australia my doctor put NORMAL for the findings. I think thats what they use here.

They Need Crew Asap

HI all

just got a call from Etihad and he was asking how i was going with my application. i told him when im starting my medicals (next monday) and he pretty much turned straight away and said how available r u to start. im like WOW!! this is sudden. I said when are you wanting to get crew over there, he said asap. he asked me how i felt about 6th or 13th of may??!?!?!?!?!?!!? talk about up and go. but hey its all for a good reason.

anyone here Etihad are looking to invest in smaller aircraft either 737 or A320? they want to get them in by late 2008 for shorter routes and keep the big babies for long haul. good time we're getting in, if tyhey had the smaller planes already in, I rekon all crew would start small and work their way up! Go straight into the long haul!!!
