Manila in wait

Hi there peeps, especially to y'all in Manila who's in vain waiting. Just wanna share this: I rang EY moment ago for follow-up. The one ive spoken with told me that i have to wait for another 2 weeks for the security approval ( i dunno if this goes as well to all MNL applicants) However she advised me to go forward with my medical examination and send it ONCE and only once i receive a confirmation call from them that i pass the approval.

So guys what do you think? what does this mean? Im kinda confuse. should i go with my med. exam? Some body PLEASE HELP! Any advise will be welcomed and appreciated.

Any one alse in MNL who called EY? What did they say?

start ur medicals tina

hey tina
I belive u already approved from EY side.
They waiting for ur security approval from AUH gov, they need to make sure u all clear.
Things take time in middeast govs so might take some time but once u clear EY will call u to start medicals.
Anyway, u might wanna start now so once they call u will have things rdy for em and u can send it right away.

Manila waitting no more

Hey Guys,


Just got the call from Etihad HR 30 mins ago. It looks like Im cleared to go ahead with the medicals. Im so happy and relieved. Ill be able to sleep soundly once more. They also called 2 other people with good news from the April 22 assesment.

To the other people waitting. Dont lose hope, at this point if it's been more than 2 weeks, I have a feeling its good news. Heres my theory(Just a theory ok).
People who got regret letters got theirs on the 1st week which means upper mangement decided on it immediately, if you get management approval then your papers go to security which takes some time to process. If security clears you after some time then thats when you get the call-I think.

Guys I hope to see all of you in AUH. Good luck to all the Aussies and Kiwis out there.

EY Office

Weeflygirl
The office hours of EY HR Department at 7.30am til 3.30pm Sunday through to Thursday (Friday and Saturday being the weekend).

If it has been two weeks just give them a quick call, it will put your mind at ease.

Try not to stress.

cheers!!!

hey mike 16

cheers for the comments. It would be safe to say that the majority of the new aussie crew have never flown on Etihad as they are only reaching our skies over here now, but knowing we will be working for the dogs b*****ks sounds pretty good to me!!!

no doubt we will all try our best to keep those kickass standards!!

Hi Ozzie
Well you go for it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, Seriously i was so impressed with them BIG TIME, the plane was beautiful, the crew were great, except for the domestic flights - Abu dhabi to muscat and back , the food is excellent and the IFE was Fab.
If i was 10 years younger i would be joining you without a doubt, but there would be a problem for me living there..... Gay ???????
does not exists out there, well i bet it does, but it just is illegal, so i would be bored..... lol
Like i say, i wish you all the best in the new adventure you are about to begin, and keep us up to date with how things are going .....

Manila Medical Exams.

Hey People from Manila,


Just in case you guys are still confused about where to go for medicals heres a suggestion.


Health Maintenance, INC
Tower Ground, Makati Cinema Sqaure Tower
Pasong Tamo, Makati City
Tel 812 88 06


For your dental X-rays and dental work- the building next to makati cinema sqaure, you will find the clinic of DR RICARDO VAZQUEZ. Its the building beside the KFC and Mcdonalds (not mile long ).

Its so near each other, you can all do it on one place. good luck


TT

Grrr no news

Hi guys still no news, tried calling the hr dept. no answer.

One of the girls got through they said the recruitment team are very busy today.We've to call tomorrow.

I noticed on the website they are on the last day of recruting for this month. Maybe that means they'll have more time to call all the people waiting!

Good luck

Hang in There

To everyone waiting for that phone call to continue with your medical, hang in there.

Stay positive and rather than call maybe email them and explain the situation.

Stay positive and remember NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS !!!!

I know this doesn't help though when you're just waiting for a YES !!! which i'm sure will happen and you'll be flying before you know it.

HANG IN THERE !!!

Hey Everyone!

Well im getting anxious myself! Im suppose to be leaving in 24 hours tomorrow 17th May & still havent heard back anything..Our group who is travelling together have been advised by Ryan he'll get back to us ASAP! Still trying to confirm flights...
How hard can it be?! We were all advised 17th May. But now HR are saying they plan for Saturday but nothing cofirmed yet....
They better not ring me up tomorrow and advise to go to the airport in the afternoon
