Just got the No Thanks email, am devastated. I thought the tests went really well. Would like feedback from them but cant see it happening!! If there is an age factor then applying again in 6 months isn't going to help. Congratulations for those who got through and good luck in the next stage!!

Hey guys. I also got the "maybe" e-mail - am over the moon without a full "yes"!! Condolences to those guys who didn't get through, especially Adam who I had a chat with at the first round. Sounds like a lot of you are half way to being pro pilots anyways. Good luck in the future!

Deltacat13, when i lived in Dubai, i interviewed myself with a former Flight Training Europe instructor (jerez), and funnily enough, he worked at Horizon at that time, the flightschool EY will send the cadets to. I was considering Jerez's flightschool until i realised that its actually twice as expensive than any other flightschool anywhere else. And one wonders why, after all, all u get there is a fATPL and 200 hours. For that same money i will do it all in my flightschool for about 40K less and including the MCC (and more flighttime).

Any US/CAN candidates get an email regarding the Aug 25th assessment? I applied back when they first opened the applications and been 'Under Review' for some time. I'd like to purchase my ticket to JFK as soon as possible if I am invited.

As I understand the US/Canada was also suppose to go out today, but didn't it should come out Sunday.
The results have nothing to do with anything other than the 6 tests i'm told. If you have the "maybe" mail you passed all the tests or failed one by one, age etc never came into it, you did not come for selection if you did not meet the requirements.
I understand the programme will run and run, practice a little and re-apply.

Yes Deltacat13, Jerez's is just a regular flightschool and you pay for it 100% out of ur pocket. The main difference is that its just too expensive and that the price includes accomodation on site. So, for a spanish guy like me, its not worth it paying that price provided i already have my house... see my point? This flightschool is intended for foreigners like you, who need a place to live while they study. It is a very good flightschool, but everyone knows that after training, the flightschool u went to is almost transparent to the companies, as the only thing they will value is jet flight time.

Anyone got an update for applicants who have had a blank status for awhile? I applied back in the first week of June and ever since my status changed from applied to blank I have not received an update.

Emails "Maybe...Maybe not"
Anybody else recieving 2 emails, 1 saying "no" and 1 saying "maybe". Totally confusing, it has knocked my confidence to how accurate Etihad have been with the whole thing to be honest......

Hi everyone,
Got the thanks but no thanks email as well wonder if it was my c.v or the fact I don§t have a PPl yet, as I felt the exams went ok, disappointed but get the chance to reapply in 6 months should have PPl by then.
Good luck to everyone going to Abu Dhabi.

i ask cos i got an email from some polish guy, no idea who it is, and it says 'No Subject' in the subject column. i am pretty sure its just junk, but seeming as most people have received emails, you never know.
Have you actually opened your email to see what it says?

Thats exactly what I said to my friend who also went on one of the assessments down in LHR. The email was very unproffessional. What happened to the days where when you went to an interview/assessment, you sat down, and got more of a grasp for the potential employee through conversation. You can judge a person alot more through 10/15mins of a proper structured interview with set questions and verbal communication with maybe a few tests, rather than sticking them infront of several tests and then just get rid of them barely being able to put a face to a name. I appreciate its a mass recruitment scheme, with thousands of potential candidates, but Etihad could have well missed out on potentially brilliant applicants through running tests which reflect nothing about the industry and the job. Now they are flying people out to Abu Dhabi and may find some applicants just cant grasp the co-ordination.
An assessment/interview is just as much the potentail employee assessing/interviewing the company, as it is the employer interviewing/assessing the potential employee.
I have been left very dissappointed with the whole thing.
I dont want to seem like a sore loser, but I am just very dissappointed with how the whole thing has been done.

Washly, you sort of have to understand too though that interviewing 7000 applicants for 15 mins won't tell them much about the person. The fact is you have to have the aptitude! Not only does Etihad carry out the aptitude testing, but many employers these days, the first thing they do is aptitude testing. That includes business like jobs, clerical, pilot and the list goes on and on (most airlines, and all air force candidates have to get through aptitude testing)... And, it is the most effective, and efficient way for them to select 'the cream of the crop'...
Anyways, I know it must be disappointing for those that didn't make it through, but remember that the struggle never stops. And also, remember that no one can take away the most important thing from you; which is your passion for flying! So keep flying, and building those hours!

sirnaish we're in the same boat, also could not make in that day. I have send 3 mails to Etihad and not a single answer, just now came this rejection mail. I answered on that too, of course. I go to goddamn next European/UK assesment day no matter what.
