Hi..
In rgds to ur concern about EY hiring guys - a friend of mine has spoken to a recruiter from Etihad who in fact told him that they were not hiring guys at the moment, however, she expected they might be hiring guys again in 6-8 months! This might have changed but this is what she told him a little less than 2 months ago!
As for Emirates, I have read (on pprune) that management has asked reruiters to cut down in regards to hiring guys, however, if u are an exceptional candidate u will go right through!

Etihad interview
Nckbella,
I was there for Etihad interview in KUL on Saturday and I successfully went thru all d stages.
Hopefully they will give us a good news as soon as possible. I just cant wait to receive the news regardless it is good or bad.
HoHum,
I felt so sick after reading all the negative comments on Etihad. Finally, I heard something different from you and I wish you can just comment more on it.
Quoted from Nckbella:
2)Salary
-how much is the average salary can u get per month and how much do u managed to save?
-during layovers, is the money given in the country's currency or in Dhs.
-Does any1 know the latest salary scale?
HoHum, do you mind to answer the questions as I cant see any respond on the post. Thank you.
Cheers.

salary
average salary is 7500 dhs per month, that includes allowances. You receive no allowances on overnights, just the daily 250dhs which goes into your monthly pay.
hope that helps

Salary:
For a new crew first 6 months your basic is 2500 AED. Each duty day is 210 AED. Per month u have 20-22 duty days. No allowances, and as A330habib said, u spent your own money on layovers.
So, after doing BRY-YYZ u end up broke
After six months your basic salary is raised to 3020 AED. Duty day stays the same.

Yep she is .... 
Recently they had some reorganization, everything is pretty much the same, some new people introduced, but the ones who were on certain positions still remain, only the position name has been changed. Now it sounds more sci-fi,

I have been quiet for a long time now. Yes, there have been changes and titles renamed but some of the people who shouldn’t be here are still here but I must say that one of the new people introduced is doing a great job. There is a new guy in management who is there big time for the crew. I hear long crew background and management experience. Seems very positive, not bad looking either and crew has seen results by him already. One of my friends had an issue which has been pending for a long time and he fixed it for her in 20 minutes. He is also visible in briefing and talks to us all the time like one of us. I must say he has done a lot of good in a short time and just hope the “bad apples” in management do not make him go as we need people like him. On the downside, still no allowances and the salaries have not changed but I hear there is hope for the new year. With all that said, Wishing everyone Happy & Safe Holidays and my wish for the new year is that things at Etihad change and we don’t end up losing more people. Still staying positive and hopeful…for now !

S.african Interviews
Hi all,
i cant believe there has been a forum for ETIHAD! it's almost comfirting to know there are people around the world who are experienceing the same things.I struggeled for mnths with their website trying to up-load my cv. i finally was able to do this then the website got updated and all my info was deleted. i had to re-do everything. i applied for c.c, south africa is one of the countries they will be coming to. iam so excited i hope i get invited to an interview.
Does anyone know when the recruitment dates are in South Africa?
During the past yr i got invited to a GULF AIR interview i got turned away bcoz i have a tatoo on my ankle,could this be a problem?
im also only 154cm (1.54m or 5.0ft), i know EK's legal requirment is to have at arm length of 212cm on tip-toes. i'm 212cm on tip-toes with shoes could this be another hinderance? believe me i have tried to stretch my little self making use of pilates and yoga do u think this helps if improving by 1cm then i suppose so.
well until someone replies to my post to all who read this have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a WONDERFUL 2007.
chat soon

The best thing u can do is to call EY recruitment and ask them for the dates in South Africa.
Speaking about your tatoo, I think it's not such a big issue as long as u can cover it. For example: I know two crew who have tatoos, one on the hand ankle, another on the neck. The first one puts watch over the tatoo, and the second one puts small bandage

cessnalee don't tell people you have a tattoo if you put concealer on it and wear thick tights noone will see it.
But to be honest I think you are too short. They do measure your height and weight at the interview.

Hi sweets, I applied for a position at EY last year and yesterday ( after I've forgotten I applied I might add) someone called me and invited me for assessments at the Hilton in Jhb on the 26th of January. I was excited till I started reading some of the posts, doesn't seem like EY is such a great place to work for hey. I'm however a bit torn because my sisters friend works for EY and she loves it there, like any job I suppose that there are people who love it and those who hate it.
I'm extremely nervous about going for the assessment. I went for an interview with EK last year and after making it through selection after selection I didn't get the job after I had my final interview, it was kinda disappointing. Oh and i applied to SAA too and my interview there scarred me for life, it was awful. At EK it rather felt like I was auditioning to be a model, they check everything, hair, nails, make up. For my final interview we were told to take photos of ourselves, one of the ladies that interviewed us even told us how to pose if we had "chicken legs" hehhehehe I tell you that interview wasn't good for my self esteem!!
To everyone going for the assessment in JHB on the 26th good luck and if you don't make it, don't give up!!

Charmed1,
EY assesment is more relaxed experience than EK's. I've been few times on EK assesment days, and I felt awful ....
Final decision is up to u only. All the posts that r written here r very much true. I guess u have to try, maybe u'll like it. Usually u need 6-12 months to realize if u r staying or resigning.
In general, it's not bad here but there r things which can be a big turn offs once u arrive here.
Good luck!

So EYtruth just so I don't have the wrong end of the stick...you're a member of the Etihad cabin crew right?
What is it like travelling though, you get to see all of these amazing countries that you only get to see on tv, what's that like, or does whatever is happing at EY overshadow the fun and excitement??
I can't help but feel a bit excited though, Johannesburg is well Johannesburg and I've felt for a while now like i need a change of scenary...
What happens though if you resign within say 6-8 months???
Gosh I'm so nervous, I can't wait though to see what the future holds in store for me...
Thank you for your well wishes EYtruth and all the best for you in your career and future endeavours
