I applied on July 13th, but have not received an invitation yet. Status is still "Applied".
I guess there will be more interviews as the closing date is 31/12/2008 and they state that interviews will be carried out throughout 2008.

Yes but if you don't attend on the date you can't come back for a 2nd assessment.
How many pilots do Etihad want?
It seems that it would be alot of people who is attending on the assessment days. I wonder if it's worth spending 700 dollars or more to FRA with hotel for the assessment..

From the stuff I hear EY are looking for quite a lot of cadet pilots for next year.
Only you can choose if spending money to get a free ATPL and job with a national carrier who just ordered another 100 aircraft is worth it.
As you said they do seem to be inviting quite a few, but now I think about it, I guess they would so that they only get the best ones, only inviting 10 people would make it quicker though!!

Split a room at Park Inn Heathrow 29-30July?
Hey everyone!
I was invited to Frankfurt on the 28th initially but I humbly replied "if at all possible i'd like to attend in London on the 30th". It took a few days but they responded with a new invitation to London. "the switch" is not impossible. (hintedy-hint-hint Colla)
I have a 9am assessment so flying in on the 30th is not an option. Anyone like to split a double room with me (M/25) tuesday-wednesday ? if so pm and we'll arrange something.

Good Day to all!
I have a place at LHR at 9.00am on the 30th and will be staying in the Park Inn on the evening of the 29th. It would be great if a meeting and a few (soft)drinks could be arranged that evening as we could probably learn a lot from each other. Also, if anybody from the 29th Assesments is still about that would be excellent.
Good luck to everybody. With the airline expanding at this crazy rate I think our chances are increasing, and to fly the 787 or A380 would just be amazing.
Also I have just joined the Facebook group, great idea! Thanks for that.

Thanks for the information. Fellow svenske kamerat. hint hint
I think I'm going to wait a few days and if they don't reply I just send another one ; )
But the site says that they need just "12 vacancies"
Or did I miss something?

From what I gather there are 12 places for the intake in Nov/Dec of this year, but with the constantly expanding fleet Etihad will doublessly be recruiting more pilots after this time. It would be stupid to go through all this again when they could find all of the best candidates first time around.

Well I've been revising loads but whilst looking over Trig and Circles etc I was a bit unsure as to whether it will even be included in the exam..if we are not allowed a calculator are we expected to know Sin, Cos, Tan and Pi off by heart, and then expected to multiply it during calculations? Now I am even more worried than I was before I started revising!

I don't think so! A-level maths is basically all trig and you don't need to do things like that.
Like we were told, the questions are fairly simple...
Problem is, I am used to doing lots of past papers for exams, this time there are none

Cool, thanks. I am assuming then that the tests will be similar to that of Foundation GCSE, because you really need a calculator for Higher...
Oh well, just hotting up on all the subjects I can. What formulas are people learning, s=d/t, a=f/m, m=w/g.....any more?

From prior examinations of this nature I would guess you need to be to Foundation GCSE standard but have the ability to do it all very quickly as time will be the main problem for most people. Not only are they testing your maths skills but also your ability to work under pressure. Be sure to revise long multiplication and division, percentages and conversions so that you can do them very fast.
I have just bought the OAT Maths and Physics softwares which are to the level that airlines look for. I will let you know what they are like later today...I have literally just signed for them.
