to be - or not to be.. etihad???
 

hey guys.. anybody currently workin for etihad? been invited for interview and am kinda wondering. used to fly with qatar airways and that was some nightmare.. horrible working condition and doha is a right sh??hole.. used to live in dubai and loved it. UAE seemed to be far more open and emirates crew really happy. different atmosphere...

THERE IS A WHOLE THREAD ON THIS FORUM ON EY

Hey Tequila,
Another former Qatarino here....Two of my Qatar batch mates are flying for Etihad at the moment and they seem to be enjoying it. Its certainly not like working for Prison Warden Akbar!!!
Best of luck whatever you decide!

thank you for your advice.. But really...nothing can be worse than qatar airways.. WE TAKE YOU PERSONALLY.. hahaha yeah right..

good luck to you too!

Yes, as an ex QR employee, I know several people ex EK and QR at EY and they seem to be having fun, although I know for a fact that one of the ex QR people had a touch of Deja Vu when he was terminated for no reason!

However, it does seem much better than QR where I know a few people that have been "taken personally" by both AAB and SK!;)

HEY 16t, what's with qatar airways? tot it was up and coming isnt it? My friend was thinking of applying with qatar anD gulf. Well, he's been applying online with emirates but have not heard from them...

LoVeLy,
Just do a search on Qatar airways and see what sort of things have been written about them. Also,Just because an airline is "Up And Coming", doesnt mean its a good airline to work for. Germany was an up and coming country under Hitler...But history soon told!!!!

QR cabin crew are all fantastic though. They all work extremely hard, so the label "taking you more personally" is in fact true, from the customers point of view.

What goes on behind the scenes is a different story................

EY loads into the UK still seem to be very light, even after all this time.

That is incorrect.

Our loads into LHR have always been good; full more often than not.

LGW struggled for a while but is now bouncing back with 70% LF for the past 2 weeks.

ok guys.. so i went for interview and i was pretty impressed.. i got a job and im quite excited join them and see whether all that was said was genuine and company really looks after their crew the way they appear to. After workin with QR i do appreciate this aspect a lot. Lets hope for the vest.. who ever applied and is about to be interviewed.., GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

bye everbody

Tequila,

I also worked with QR and found it was a shocker.
They dont come much worse.

I know a few people at EY and the word is its a great place to work.

You will love it there!

Hello Everyone,
Any emirates or etihad crew member here? i need some clarifications..i'm currently working wt MAS.went for etihad's interview..got it n suppossed to report in a month time..
someone told me that the pay is not that great. meal allowances in the form of meal vouchers form the hotel...is that true? they said that you'll bring back around AED 4000...is that all?
can anyone help?.....
happy flying everyone...

fourplay,

u also worked for QR? haha Poor us!

thanks! you cheered me up there.. Im currently flying in europe and it gets too cold and dull for me at times.. Really excited to hit the sand'party'land again!

I hope EY is a great airline to be with at the time.. They had quite impressive assesment day.

take care!

anyone heard abt etihad is paying the meal allowances in a form of meal vouchers from d hotel?

Etihad Airways
 

To all those on pprune. I've been invited to an interview with Etihad in march and i'll like to know what the company is like and what to expect at the interview. I'm currently furloughed from my Airline job as a Cabin Crew of which i worked there for 5 years. You help will be greatl appriciated.

tigerlily ur jokin! hahaha

that would be a first!

nothing like that mentioned on my assessment with etihad.. i think its jst a roamer.. well i hope so! someone help!

nope..not joking!!! someone told me that the crew will bring back AED4-5k only...hotel vouchers as meal allowance!!!it's true...

hi there lily, check out the other QANTAS/ETIHAD forum.. flying 206 says its all bad roamer. SO i guess we should believe him.. if I should believe him as well as what i was told on my assessment day ur salary should get up to 6-7k. So what the hell.. would love to have it confirmed with someone who's flying with etihad.. Im really confused.. Havent resigned from my current job yet and wont till im really sure about the pay. Let me know if u know more

take care

PS/ where did you do the interview with etihad?

hi...i went for the interview in kuala lumpur...tequila,when r u joining them?
i was told about the AED4k salary from a girl who works for EK and her good friend is working for EY,and she's leaving EY to work for EK.
i'm scared too..
when i went for the interview,i was told the same thing too...AED7-8K...do u think it's a trap for us?
i'm currently working with MAS..what abt u?
how now?

I do not mean to offend you 16tequila, but don't you think that the words you used are some what harsh? You think Doha does not meat your living style, fair enough, but you shouldn't name it s***hole just because you didn't like it.

God! I can't believe it! People tarvel around the world and live in different cities and yet they can't be open minded enough (sorry 16tequila nothing personal here :O ). Please gals/guys if you want to state an opinion be fair will you?

Cheers :ok:
