Good to hear that, after all your colleagues dont deserve the extra load.
I asked you that because it's not surprise to hear that some people do a runner simply because they hate so much the company and just don't care about their colleagues either and I think that it's very unprofessional.
I wish you all the best in your new life and hope that you are happier there.

Liking EY
Hey Guys, how you all doing? Just a quick note to let you all know that i've been over in abu dhabi for just under a month now.. & i'm really liking it!
Thing have run quite smooth with the odd hickup ofcourse. Abu dhabi itself is not the most happening place on earth but i dont mind. Still a nice city & it's very cheap too. I have a big group of friends here (some from back home too) & we hangout alot. Training has been very full on! But again i love the challenge & am looking forward to getting back into the air again.
Some of the crew i have met have been stuck up lil mole's yet other's have just been so lovely! The wage while training is not very good at all, around $400 a week AUS. I came over with alot of saved money from home & all of my bills taken care of.. Around your 3rd pay month money will improve alot.
I came over with no expectaions & it really helped. Good luck with anyone attending interview's.
Cheers.. Matt

Im currently CC for a UK airline and have been acepted for an interview at EY. Was wondering if there are any crew from the Uk who work for EY, if so how does it compare to airlines in the UK ie money, rosters, days off.
I work for a good airline BA, but im board of life in the UK and its just so expensive to live now with commuting, rent and everything on top.
I know that EY give you a free furnished apartment and transport to and from work.

EY uniform
Hi everyone,
I am due to join EY end of November.
I was wondering: if we start training, how long does it take before we get the uniform (one week or what) ?? just to know how many sets of business attire I have to bring : )
does the company provide us also with stockings?
thx

Cabin Manager/Purser at Etihad
Hello everybody,
I´ve been invited for an interview as Cabin Manager with EY. Can anyone tell me what the interview is like? What is it like to work as a Purser with EY (good and bad experiences...) Any other information? Thanks!

Hey Guys, some of the CM's are very full on sometimes. Remember your going to be dealing with people like this in every job.
Most of them tho are great people. Get to know them outside of breifing & you'd befriend them in a sec. FYI I'm not a cm..

Hatingey you made up your mind that you didn't like Etihad very early on. I can see that from your previous posts.
Yes the first few months are a bit ****ty. Your full salary takes a while to come through and it can take a while to get into an apartment.
But to say that all of the CMs in Etihad are arses just makes you look silly. You were on line for all of 2 months so you would have met a very small percentage of the 250 cabin managers. Yes as in any company some of them are arseholes. But for the most part they are fine.

As per Eddie's post..
If you dont like it..then leave. No one is stopping you. I have a friend who did the runner back to the UK. Shes happy she back home.
This job is not for everyone. You really need tough skin to push through and handle the job.
Sorry to say this. But many of our new crew, this is their first ever job or in the early 20's. Some been away from home for the first time. Coming here be prepared to be treated like an adult. No sympathy or anything like that here. Just do your job and youll be sweet.

Couldn't agree more, many people come to this part of the world and expect to be treated just like at home but they are not mentally prepared for the job and the place, the job is a job and it's not that different than any other airline but what is a completely different story is the base, ( AUH, DOH, DXB, etc ), and when they recruit children this is what you get.
All companies have rules and regulations and as long as you follow them and do your job correctly then you'll have a great time and noone will be picking on you.
Guys, GROW UP !!!! if you want to be treated like adults, this is a job and not a kinder garden summer camp !!!!

SYD is daily so 24 hours but apparently they will increase the frequency next year which means there will be 24 and 48 hour trips.
BNE is a really nice trip you do AUH- SIN - BNE - SIN -AUH with at least 48 hours in each. It will eventually be daily though
I have heard rumours we will open MEL next year too and I very much doubt it would be a daily flight to start with.

Hi guys
I'm currently a long haul FA out of Australia and am thinking of giving EY or Qatar a try. Have read a few things and was wondering if any of your guys working there could tell me about the realities of the job. Do you guys get long slips in Europe and New York or is it mainly short slips and lots of flying within the the middle east? Also, what's the yearly base salary and are the allowances good?
Thanks for yoru help guys!

Hey Nick!
Yeah I am the crew who done a runner back to the uk lol It wasnt for me but I do have to say some CMS are very hard going but god only knows what pressure they are under from there management.
Crew lifestyle is not for some people myself being one but I am glad I tried and made some great friends some where even cms lol!
If you do this job make sure you can work hard wont get homesick and let things roll off your back I couldnt but doesnt mean I have failed I would have failed if I didnt have the guts to do it.
Safe Flight always guys!
