Chef's as Managers?
I looked at the requirements for In-flight F+B managers and chefs can apply. Do you actually have former chefs as in-flight managers?
Cabin crew experience is a plus (not a must it seems!!!)
It's something that really disturbs me about Ethiad.
I attended hotel management school and have a hotel and service background and really can't see a chef manage cabin crew and look after crew and pax on long-haul.
The chefs I met were good behind the stove, but it sure is better they just cook! Jelling around to "manage" and "organize", really not the kind of diplomat and psychologist a good cabin purser should be.
Does management have a bully-U-in-the-mold approach or motivational and intercultural awareness approach?

Pay Change
Also forgot to mention that as soon as NEXT MONTH (oct) Etihad are due to change the way in which they pay there crew. They are thinking of scrapping the 250Dhrm per day duty pay & paying us per HOUR. Sort of like Emirates.
This has both good & bad aspects. I think for most of us this could mean a pay DECREASE.
What do you think???

EZsmile, F&B Managers are not in charge of the crew. They take care of the pax in First Class. Chain of command is still the same, as I know it. They have an additional position, no equipment to be responsible of. But they have to be able to answer safety and aviation health related questions.

Flight04, being one of the crew that suffered the worst of the 320 flights, with lots of turnarounds, minimum rest, and sh...y lay-overs, I think this idea comes too late. Our salaries were miserable compared to people that had only lay-overs, and they were newcomers. And that would've balanced a little the salary.
And I think it means a salary decrease. It will be better to do turn-arounds than lay-overs.
Anyway, we'll have to live and see!

F & B
I'm currently flying in Oz and am just about to pack my bags to take up an F&B Mgr position with Etihad.
Do know how are the crew transitioning with this new role in place?
I understand it's mostly a quality control / public relations position.
Any 'inside' info would be appreciated.

Pay change
Anyone have any more word on whether this pay structure change is being explored?
How do the other crew feel about the idea of a per hour pay? Any idea of how much per hour it will be??? EK is around the 50dhs mark for GR2 Economy crew. How about layover allowances? Any change there?
