The guy who sends the e-mails has a thousand things to do, you may well not hear from him again, you have been invited, you have either agreed or declined, just be there on the day mentioned. There are no other dates for the UK and Europe, the other places are for the guys from those parts of the world.
If you read this thread you will see whats involved, as one of the UAE expats who has been for selection detailed the testing.

EYZ, as much as you're urging people to not get too crazy with expectations, following the instructions on the e-mail would suggest that we turn up to Heathrow (Airport? One of the surrounding hotels, conference centres?) half an hour before an unknown time 
. I'm pretty sure that won't be the last contact before the assessments.

It's part of the test, haha... as u get to the airport u have to search for hidden clues that take you on a journey around London working your way up to the final stage... a signed contract.
Good luck everyone.

Well obviously it wouldn't be the last contact before the assessment. You will be contacted and informed of the time and place. I'm pretty sure Etihad does not intend on playing hide & seek after inviting you to the interview. 
You have been selected, now all you have to do is wait.
I know it's hard, but we all need to just relax. And the time will come.
Good luck to all

I called HR and they said that the 12 selected candidates will be partaking in an aviation medicine experiment that involves positive g-forces and the separation of penises from bodies! it doesn't sound fun so I suggest all of you not to show up to the assessment dates and locations just so you won't have to experience such an ordeal.
I deserve this more than all of you
's. I'm half black, and I'm pretty sure you guys don't know how hard it is to grow up knowing that no matter how hard you try you still don't belong!
And can the kid's please go back to school!
Oh and to make things crystal clear, I would eat a baby to fly an airbus
, even that big airbus that carries the smaller airbuses in it's forehead!
Just thought I'd make this interesting

If it is anything similar to the UAE day, I would work on 8am and 1pm as the two starting times, depending on which one they put you on.
I would imagine those trsvelling will be on the later one!

Yeah thats one thing... on the email they asked us to reply if the answer to certain questions was yes. One of those questions was "are u available on the 28th?". Well, and i say, it depends on the time! I answered yes, but if the interview is at 8am, well, they would have also had to ask about availability on the 27th, right?

IT's correct...this is the problem...They had to write also the time of the assesment..thus everyone can do the travel check and then answer yes or no for that day....
However,we wait the e-mail and we continue to prepar for the day...
(If anyone have answers,write here as soon as possible....thanks)

If i had to take a guess, i'd say that they'll use a hotel in the airport itself. That would make sense. Anyone knows what hotel Etihad uses for their FRA and LHR layover?

Is it true that 1000 of us have been shortlisted?? I dont think so. I went to an emirates interview for cabin crew once and there were about 200 people for day one, and it was HECTIC! They had to cut some heads on the first day basing themselves on the way you handed in your resume (2 second impression of you)... and then wait for a callback. After which, about 70 people turned up, for 10 vacancies.
That'd makes more sense.
Considering that 80% of applicants know pprune, and 50% of them are active posters (and not all of them have been shortlisted), i would say we won't find more than 100 people in each assesment. That makes 200 people total... Am i talking nonesense?

Etihad use the Airport Sheraton in FRA and the Park Inn in LHR. There is a very good chance these will be the location's of the testing.
Yes 1000 have been shortlisted, not 1000 for LHR, but worldwide, some may roll over into next year.
I would assume that if you have been asked to attend on the 28th, you should plan an overnight before, a little rest might be a good thing before all those tests!!
