I'm suprised there's no ban between crews who want to leave EY to EK, same ban with Qatar. Is it b/c EY and EK are both U.A.E. airlines which is why they don't have a ban between the two?

[EYtruth]

Well, there was a ban in the beginning, than it was withdrawn. Later on it was put on again, as people were resigning and leaving for EK.
Now, there is no ban ... as far as I know.

CCEY,

the phrase u wrote " if u don't like quit" is worn out, and that kind of thinking is exactly the thing that brought EY in the situation where it is now.
We r trying to fight for the descent work conditions, and we wouldn't got salary increase if we hadn't fought for it.
EY has a huge potential, but certain things must be done in order to reveal that potentisl.

And like I said previosly, let's wait for the salary slip in march and than we can discuss more.

[sec 3]

Tell us how you "fought' for better conditions. The only ones who fought are the ones who left. I guess you call not serving the guests properly " fighting".

[EYtruth]

Maybe .... or it was something else ....

Hi I am from melbourne...excited just received a call from ETIHAD saying Im invited to the interview on 02 APR. Didnt even think my application went through properly as I dont have any pictures.

Anyway...does anyone here work for ETIHAD? What is the pay like? Allowances? Lay overs.. Is AUH as good as DXB?

It sounds like a great new airline and look forward to the experience... just wanting to know if its worth going for pay wise..

Whats the staff travel like

[sebby]

Where is the interview?

[andyman_82]

EY

interview is in melbourne somewhere they said they had emailed me the details yet nothing has come thru...

[A330habib]

good luck

do a search on etihad, you will find lots of information.

As much as i want to say evil things about EY, i wont, cause i will get banned from here!

however the advise i will give you is:

if you have a job at another airline, and things are ok, dont leave for EY

Staff travel is a nightmare to deal with. Anyone coming from UK, AUS, USA, CANADA hate it.

Crew are disorganised, company is very disorganised, and you are treated as a slave

however if you can put up with things @ work, then go for it

many here will agree i am sorry to say

basic pay is about 7000dhs, inclusive of your allowances, however it may change soon. best to see if any current crew know further details...

[sebby]

Oh ok, good luck! There is quite a lot of information about them on here, some good but mostly bad... Nothing wrong with giving it a go though!

[andyman_82]

EY

Is that 7000 Diram a week or fornight or month..

The info in here is all over the shop. I currently work at QF in Sales...

Do you get allowances with EY soemone here wrote u dont. Any EY staff here can you please tell me the fornightly pay and what allowances are like. Do you get staff travel on major interline carriers for example EK, QF, CX, BA, AA ?

Etihad Recruitment

Hi Andyman,

I am in the same boat as you and just received an email inviting me to the interviews in Melbourne on 2nd April.

I really want to get into Emirates but tried once and didn't get through so now I have to wait the six months to try again.

There doesn't seem to be very much good feedback on Etihad.

Can anybody help about the accommodation provided in AUH. I have heard that it not really great (it's the old Gulf Air accommodation), and that is what really bothers me, can anybody help??

Also how does the pay compare to EK, is it the same rates? The EK website is very informative but unfortunately the EY website isn't and doesn't go into very much detail at all, this seems to be the only place you can get any info at all.

Tanya

[tashal_bb]

Same thing

I got an email ask me to attend an assessment day in BNE, but I had ask them to reschedule it to Syd.
When you say 7000AED thats how much AUD? too lazy to find out

Any EY crew out there pls give us some appropriate answer.

As Im working for QF/AO.. as FA... shoud I go? im struggling

[Bla_Bla]

Dear tashal_bb,
in my opinion u would have to be CRAZY to leave AO to work for etihad! i am currently working for MAM as a casual and also have been invited to attend an interview on the 2nd of april. i have confirmed my attendance but am honestly having second thoughts now.......
the hot galley goss i hear is that u guys are gonna move from cairns to melb, to operate as LH FA's. apparently the melb LH base is short ( so i hear ! ). even if that doesnt happen stick to AO .
somebody said in one the threads that the pay is 7000 dirhams ( ALLOWANCES INCLUSIVE ) which WIth todaYS exchange rate works out to be = AUD 2426.00 tax free, not much really !!! .
I know u dont pay for accomodation but u will be away so much that all ur money just seems to disappear in front of ur eyes....

Good luck all ! might see u guys on the 2nd ( maybe ! ).

Hi Guys

I have been reading your posts, and the others for Eithad.
First of all, Well done to get an interview.
Well i use to be Cabin crew in th UK, i really loved it, but left as i had a long term relationship and i was offered a job not to be missed.
I have recently flew with EY from Manchester to Abu Dhabi and then connection flights on to Muscat and return, i must say as a PAX they were fantastic, sooooooo proffessional and a really nice mixture of crew from all nationallities and sexes.
The aircraft are beautiful and so luxurious, after flying with VS and ba quite often as well, there is a big difference and i for one will fly EY again for sure.
This is only a PAX opinion but there is another thread on here only a few weeks ago, and that was quite detailed with crew rates etc.......
If i was 10 years younger, i would be there with you guys, go for it and enjoy the experience..

[Le Luck]

Please HELP

Anyone, please tell how HR process us to go to AbuDhabi? Was it always last minute?
How much AED or USD do we need during the training period?
Should we get the laptop from our countires?
Does most hotels/ apt / services apt have wi-fi (wireless) connection?

Thank you very much in advance.

P.S. How is the meal allowance with EY? Hope everything well.

[CCEY]

EY salary i not 7000 AED anymore .We are now getting more as we have meal allowance .Now the monthly salary should be around 9000...
Now the accomodation here is really nice except for one building ...the rest are real cool .
since we have the pay increase , no one wants to leave EY anymore ...so give it a try

[petronas]

i've been wanting to leave etihad for some time but now, with the salary increase (got about 9000 last month) i will for sure stick around longer. Most of the crew buildings are new or quite new, mine was built a year ago. only problem is more salary means more work. compared to the other airlines in the gulf we've been on a vacation until now
