Etihad Canadian recruitment
Hey gang,
Noticed some questions about the Canadian recruitment sessions...I got an email this AM from them asking me to attend a session. I had the choice of Toronto (May 5 & 6) or Vancouver (May 8) Thought it was funny since I didn't even have a complete application (missing my pics) Will be heading to the Vancouver date- so if anyone has any words of wisdom, bring it on...

salary
hello everyone. i just stumble upon this forum... and i think i might hit the jackpot. coz i do have a few questions im unsure about
first off, regarding the salary. im grade DF, and when converted to $AU I am getting paid more at my current job (which is part time) than being a cabin crew. I do realise you get flying allowances and most of the things (accomodation etc) are paid for but the basic salary still seem so little. just wondering if anyone is having the same confusion? coz i thought cabin crews get paid pretty well. or is AED 2500 per month (during probation) is considered a good pay over there? im really curious about the pay, otherwise i would jump right into it.
and also, i read the the earlier posts, so its around 80-90 flying hours per month?
and the contract that we will sign when arrive in Abu Dhabi, are we able to get a copy of that before arriving there? since this is big life changing move, i would like to be certian of what im signing and getting into. but i will email ryan for a copy, hopefully he will email me back soon, coz i will be resigning from my job tomorrow
sorry if im typing so much, i just want to make sure. but ryan seem so nice on the phone
thankyou everyone!!

Congrats & Welcome Sandy306..
Your question about the salary was on everyones lips when they received the contract.
I believe the AED2500 is only during probation then it goes up to the next bracket AED3000 something like that? Keep in mind your duty pay + layover allowances. Add all that....maybe your looking at approx AUD $900-$1000 a week?
Ofcourse you'll be getting more at home then when in AUH. But there is absolutely nothing to pay while there...Everything is taken care of. So what you get in your hand is your disposable income. Thats how I take it....Rent free, utility bills all taken care of...so your pay is yours to keep & save.
On the other hand back home..its the total opposite.

Medical
Hey trolllytop and tina. I fell the same way guys. Been waiting for the call and anticipating for it but it seems that it would really take a while before they call us. There are 27 peeps on the first assessment and 32 on the 2nd. Would it really be possible that we're all hired? WHew! Its killing me. 
My friend asked me to ask this question...i just hope someone can help us if ever we really make it...she wants to know if any one of us would know where we can get cheap vaccinations for our medical. She's been asking around and the cheapest she can find is Php9k! Doesnt include the dental and other medical exams. Heard from other people that it would cost us around 20k for the whole exam! whew! Help anyone?
Goodluck to all of us!

Q's for the INterview
Watch the video for they might ask something about it. Like how do you feel about the rules of UAE. Some personal questions regarding ur CV's might be asked too. Here in the PI we were asked to choose from the things in the floor. Flower, empty glass, cellphone and news paper. Then the interviewer will ask why did you pick that stuff.
They might ask:
Describe ur ideal or dream house.
...vacation.
Describe ur most memorable vacation.
What's your favorite sports of hobby?
(that's for the 1 minuter)
Final Interview:
What character do you think should a cabin crew possess?
What character do you thnk you possess to be a cabin crew?
What would you do if a passenger (or in EY we treat them as guests, right Peeps?
) vomitted on you?
How would you feel or what what would you do if a housemate cooks smelly food?
Good luck pink...where are you from BTW?

Nickvan,
thx for the reply. made me feel better to find that im not the only person confused by the base salary. hey you on the same training day as me, 20th May. so they havent sent you flight details yet? like tickets and stuff?
and one more question before you get sick of me, do we gotta go get our visas and stuff? i havent dont it yet, prolly 2mrw since i finish work early 2mrw.
Its a hard decision for me, as my current job is ok and is getting better. so its a tough decision since i dun wanna regret it later. coz with EY, i havent sign the contract yet (ryan said i can sign when i get there) and from reading the posts (how EY is known to change their contracts overnight), i dun want to arrive in abu dhabi and realise i dun like the contract. then what am i gunna do?? any suggestions? coz with the current pay, i can live with that, but if they reduce it.. then i rather stay where i am.

for the ppl going for the inteview, just make sure in group activities you participate and be sincere. coz by the end of the interview day we got the chance to talk to one of the lady that were part of the interviewer panel. she was saying there was on chick that was rolling her eyes and stuff when Kim (the etihad lady) was doing the presentation and slides, but when it was time for the one-on-one interview, the girl was acting all happy and friendly... so basically it was all an act. and the lady was saying she was observing ppl, the way they react to the presentation when they think noone is looking at them.. so yea.. but im sure none of you guys will be rolling ur eyes anyways 
but yea.. dun stress too much over it. make it a relaxing and enjoyful day

I applied last april in Intercon manila. Walk in only. Had my online application ready weeks before the assessment day but they didnt contact me so I decided to walk in. Dont worry too much. From what i hear from the EY people they'll be back in Manila once or twice a month for continues hiring of CCs. I just did my CV's like the regular CV's you see. I just updated my 8 year old CV's with my work experiece and some personal stuffs about me. heheh.
I hope i know a way on how to get you in. I'm still waiting for my call or email for the result of the final interview so I'm not really really in yet. But hopeful. i suppose, just a piece of advice, you just have to be yourself when you get there. forget all the negativities and just enjoy the assessment. First you'd feel you're in Pleasantville but the people from EY would surely make you feel comfortable after a while. Good luck to you. Hope we all make it there.

Kash:
You go for EK, treated better, better buildings, better pay, (better allowences, flight pay and basic), and everything is very organized(at least when you get down there)
EY is a great airline, but it really depends on if u wanna live i AUH or DBX, wana work for the impressive EK group or want to be with a small newly started airline, which is definetily exciting as well!
EY will be such much better, but it will take a couple of years before trainingfacilities and buildings are all the same standard.
I had the same choice as you have now, EY or EK and I chose EK.
Have some friends that are doing training w EY now, and they are all....You take EK!!!! But they love AUH.
I personally love Dubai, been flying down there with my airline all the time, know many in EK, and I am confident w my decision. Although EY has a fantastic product and the crew is really great at service
Good luck with whatever you choose!!!!

what video did you watch and where can i find it? is it for those who passed only? how many male applicants were accepted? do you know? i know female applicants have no limit per recruitment period but for males it's a percentage count of the females.
