It is evident that most of you "new" guys to this thread haven't read any of the posts ahead of your own.
Here is what those of us who were here from the beginning already know...
1)There is a source from Etihad that posts information regarding the test dates and locations.
2)Europe already had their assessments on the 28th (Frankfurt) 29th+30th(London)
3)North America will be tested next (both US and Canada)
SO far all the dates that have been posted in this thread were in fact actual testing dates.
I feel better knowing that none of you "new" guys have read the previous posts in the thread because alot of information regarding the test was disclosed and I think I as well as others in the US and canada who have been on this thread since march 2008 have an advantage.

More Over
Adding to DenizD,
4) Etihad almost never contacted anybody in Asia / Middle East even in Abu Dhabi...only very very few ppl holders (most of them non GCAA issued) as far as I have seen in the posts from Mid May & don't know if they called them back.
5) The cadet Pilot program will start sometime LATE this year (not as planned).
Does anybody know when would Etihad start assessing UAE expats?, I had to postpone, cancel & shorten most of my summer vacation activities...believing that they might contact us first (expats)...I don't blame them, they are working hard enough in the summer (large amounts of flights daily from AUH).
Congrats for those who made it through the first stage in Europe, So Sorry for those who couldn't make it through & Best of Luck to those in North America, SYD & JNB.
Can anybody take a look on this flight Academy's training program & give me his opinion about joining it...

Ok, its sort out the facts time again!!
The Etihad Cadet programme starts next week for expats, its been running for sometime for UAE nationals. The November date for expats has not moved.
Those who have applied from North or South America and all area's around this should have had an e-mail this week asking them to confirm their interest, if you didn't get one, I would e-mail [email protected] quickly!
As I understand the selection is still at the end of the month, as for the UAE and the middle east, from my contacts that is going to happen Oct/Nov time it seems.

Hey EYZ my twin brother ZaaZoo received an invitation for the 25th assessments in New York but I did not get one. I sent an email to [email protected]. But I am wondering, could it be that I did not receive an invitation because we are brothers and our information is identical?

Hey everyone. I have been reading through nearly all the 50-page forum here.
I am from Europe, and still did not apply for this scheme yet. However I read that the assesment for Europeans took place already. Does this mean, if I apply now, it's useless? Even though the expiry date is 31/12/08?
Thanks

Then you would have already known that the US and Canada were already being tested together, right?

I think bad things will happen to you if you lie to Etihad.....and by the way if you do have a comm and live in cali, your better of than most of us here. You can still get a decent job out in cali flying , whether it's mail or monitoring traffic.

Do you guys really think a CPL is something you can hide? As soon as they begin with ur paperwork they will find ur CPL. First, the UAE is ICAO, and second, Horizon flight academy is on it's way to become JAR approved. From the moment they start associating ur passport with ur license number they will see that you already have one.. and they might not like it.

Hey ZaaZoo, that 700 dollar hamburger is suppose to be real good! Hopefully it turns out good for me. And, it's just like you said yourself bud, "the things I do for aviation!" 
Hopefully it'll be all worthwhile in the end!
