Hi all,
In a lots of posts you're talking of the cv, but where do you see we can upload a cv??
In the documents list to upload, I can only choose, photograph, pilot licence, medical licence, copy of stamped log book, passeport copy...
Is it in an other category?

Etihad Cadet Program-Facts
Thr EY cadets program is already, there are 3 phases, phase 1, that has been running for some time is for UAE national, phase 2 is for EY Staff, this will be concluded within the next 2 weeks and the 12 staff will start in July.
Phase 3, which is the bit that applies to most of you, starts within the next few weeks,with a course date of November. People will be split into geographical groups and have their initial selection in one of 4 locations. Sucess there will result in you being brought to AUH for round 2.
Anything else on here is just rubbish.

The instructions are clearly written at the bottom of the Job Details section.
I don't mean to have a go at anyone but it's amazing how many people don't read the instructions BEFORE filling in the application form. They want to be an airline pilot which mainly involves listening to or reading and absorbing instructions and yet struggle to comply with this simple task!

This is a waste...Looks like its back to hitting the books.
If you want to get something done right...you've got to do it yourself.
forget Etihad, Emirates is better

Etihad Cadet
I wouldn't call the auto response email a response at all!
I think there's a few emirati nationals on this thread who have applied thought the national cadet scheme. The world-wide cadet scheme is independent of the national scheme.
Emirates DO offer traditional sponsorship, BUT it is only open to UAE nationals. Training is done in Australia.

Eh I think this question has been raised already but not answered...but would be slightly concerned on how easy it is to convert from GCAA to CAA/JAA? No doubt etihad great firm to work for but what if you wished to return to Europe eventually??? Is it possible or will it cost you an arm and a leg?

FlightPath86,
A JAA licence is closely recognised in the middle east as a lot of the countries in this region are trying to standardise their licence process to closely follow the JAA standards due to its quality.
So to convert from a GCAA to JAA wouldn't be all that painful and can be carried out at a reasonable and affordable cost as opposed to converting from an FAA licence.

i did my PPL in the UAE
the heat is nauseating! Piper had to add several pages to our perfomance charts because the temperature we faced were off the scale! dust storms and temperature inversions with strong winds seem to be the norm!
UAE's attitude towards general aviation is also really poor. All the airports including Al-Ain are international airports and priority goes to IFR traffic with controllers often known for bullying light aircraft!
More than that Horizon seems to be a relatively new school for fixed wing aircraft, lack of instructors and examiners are again quite common when training in the Emirates
I just hope this training program is efficient enough to combat bureacracy wthin the civil aviation authority and fkying school politics to make sure that 18 months is a realistic target to train pilots from zero to hero!

EY Cadets
The current EY cadets are in line to finish on time, after 18 months. Yes there are weather issues, however I doubt if you do it at Oxford or CTC, their weather is perfect, for very different reasons.
Initial selections, to choose who comes to which selection event are now taking place, news will follow very soon.
Places on the November course need filling!!

Hey. EYZ how do you know of all this. If you don't mind me asking what is your source of information?
Also, you mentioned in your previous post that selection for the global scheme will be divided in 4 places around the globe. Do you happen to know them?
I did call Etihad last month and the only information they would give out is that shortlisting will begin in May. When I asked for more information they said we can only tell you what is on the website.
So again, quite confused on how the shortlisting is done (with the little requirements) and the huge pool of applicants. But I guess like everyone here, will have to wait and see how events unfold.
Cheers, & best of luck to everyone

we're all in the same boat. it's just they have their advantage coz they know someone inside, but hey, don't generalize the aviation industry. 
and you cannot deny the fact these things really exist (the whom you know, not what you know scheme)
we need experience to hone our skills they may be unskilled when they got in but through exp. they become skilled pilots.
