Is there currently an embargo for EY crew switching to EK, just like they have one with QR? If not, are they planning to do that b/c I've heard that masses of EY crew are switching over to EK.

Fly_Guy100,
I wouldnt believe everything you hear. Were recruiting like cats and dogs at the moment and thats the first ive heard of huge masses going across to EK. Things are looking brighter here, salary etc etc in other fields.
The minority Crew who bag the airline and are unhappy to be here...they just dont leave..they have nothing for them back in their home country. Here they receive Free accomadation, great lifestyle, see the World, tax free..
Bozzy,
Again dont believe everything you hear
You'll be sweet if you want to try out for CC. Got nothing to lose. We have more guys being recruited then ever before. Good for the Girls.. 
Amelia_84,
The Sands Hotel is nice. You'll only be based there for a little while. Theres a few new Buildings being built.. so maybe you guys will be reclocated to it when it is finished. If so..Lucky you! Fresh and new...
Kash,
In about 2 yrs.. We have an Etihad Village being built for EY Crew only. We will all relocate there once completed, Pools, Gym, Beach etc etc at Al Raha ...So should be good.
Training attire is Business. You will get your uniforms on the 4th week of training. Just heard Training/Exams are quite harder now and the bar has been raised. So more
intense. So good Luck to all!

amelia - epstein
Hi guys
Iv worked out my flight times for tomorrow and i think it works out that i will be arriving at sands hotel at 1am in the morning then getting picked up at 7am. That can,t be right!. I,m not sure i will even sleep tonight considering that i will have to leave at 5am to go to airport. I will be a walking zombie. Lol. Just wondering if anyone knows about room sharing or whether you will have your own room at the hotel?.
Epstein and Amelia - what time are you arriving at the hotel?. If i don,t see you when i arrive then i guess i will see you bright and early on sunday morning. Lol

Hey Chilli,
We are on the 2.35 flight from Sydney and im assuming that is what flight you are on and also all the others from Australia. I could be wrong though.
I imagined that we will all be picked up together at the airport. THats what I thought would happen anyway.
I Know we are going to be really tired but I guess we will have to start to get use to that now hehe.
Sunday sounds l like a pretty cruisy day anyway. We will all be in the same boat. Do they sell Red Bull over there?? haha

The exact same thing happened to me hun I told you on the phone speak to Ryan see if you can take Sunday off I was so exhausted on my first day!
Guys you will love it
Everything is cheap!
and if your lucky enough to get trained in Pearl zone you automatically get a payrise if you wanna go to EK then prepare to spend at least 6 months before getting trained in business!

Thanks for the reply.So is the village suppose to be in Madinat Khalifa? I heard such rumours.
How is the swap system working in EY? Is it hard to exchange flights? How long is the layover in LHR and JFK?
I heard a lot of crew gets a lot of LHR, how is the allowance for this destination.Thanks.

Etihad Assesment Melbourne 25July Mercure Hotel
Hi everyone,
Well I went to the assesment centre on 25July07 in Mel and made it to the final interview man that was a long day. Just wondering if there is anybody else from the final interview stage in this forum. This is the longest wait ever.

Pearl Zone
I had have heard from Ken the training manager that they will continue to train pearl in new batches for another month I am batch 166 I graduate next week, and we are doing pearl training this week!
Maybe I am wrong sorry If I got peoples hopes up
The layovers in JFK and LHR are 24 hours basically if we fly there daily its 24 hours
Geneva, Casablanca etc are all 3 and 5 days as well as Dublin....
Money is good guys I'll be walking away with at least 1000gbp.
But it is so cheap here that you dont need all that I have a mortgage back home I still need to pay and I will still be having a great time here,
Dont stress about the money for the first 2 months training its not great but in the same breath its plenty to go on.....

New here
Just spent two hours reading all posts. Did go to the Open day in Toronto in March, but did not submit an application online. I'm not going to ask any questions as most were answered by reading the posts. The security checks take long, I understand, but when exactly do you notify your company. Do they give you two weeks to give your company notice? I wasn't very clear with this issue. They are scheduled to come to Canada, not sure which cities Aug 1-4, so i was hoping to get at least this cleared out. I'm 38, no past airline flying experience but hoping to give it a shot.

Pilot Misbehavior
Hello Everyone. Have any of you had trouble with forward or aggressive behavior from the pilots? I need some tips on how to get away from them...especially those drunk door knockers.

hey everyone.. 
Just attended the assessment day in Iceland last friday. It went pretty nicely. The lady was very nice and made it easier. I got through to the final interview and now its just the waiting....
How is life in Abu Dhabi for those of you that are already there?
And to those of you that have been there for a while.. How big are the chances that your roster will contain ONLY turn-arounds or ONLY layover-flights? It would be nice to have a little variety of flights
