As mentioned at the assessments, Etihad like to take cadets ab initio because they can then be trained up the way Etihad WANTS them to be trained and they will also be more likely to take to the Etihad culture.

Malirm,

Are you going to DAE? they have some rather shiney looking equipment if so - best of luck to you it looks great! Glad to see people are not disheartened and continue to follow the dream?

Hi EYXW,

Yes indeed, I'll be going to DAE Flight Academy...I might then end up in a Business jet or a commercial airliner...just what I wanted, hopefully I'll get into Etihad as an experienced Pilot with at least 1500 Turbine time with international destinations...BTW, I'll fly international routes while training to Mumbai, Athens, Beirut...etc.

I just have to pay 97500 USD!!! , thanks to my parents

Sweet! Good to see some other aussies I can chat to in the upcoming months about the assessment in June; Stefmyster, Wiblywoblywonder.
I guess Sierra youll be at the Sydney assessments too?

Vt asm - About the vision requirements, I'd assume its pretty much like all airlines. Vision can be corrected with use of glasses, contacts, etc. Airlines are usually more concerned with colour vision in pilots. Someone correct me if im wrong, but I have heard in medicals where colour vision is tested, you are allowed, one or two 'wrong answers'.

hi malirm,
good to hear you are back, yes indeed DAE what a facility.
recently went up to RAK for a visit man that brand new shiny 737NG sim for a MCC part of the course is impressive, instructors were very friendly and professional, they still havent decided which jet type will be used for the last phase of the course but no doubt they will figure it out. 97 grand is a hefty price to pay mate, for CPL with 50 hours on jet?
Hay definitely cheaper than going to oxford.

About DAEFA

Hi guys, I would really like to speak about DAE Flight Academy, but some people wouldn't really like us to go off the subject (Etihad Cadet Pilot), so, you can just send me an email (not PMs) & I'll be more than happy to answer all your questions...you can visit www.daeflightacademy.com, where you'll find alots of info...BTW, I think I sounded a kinda advertiser or so!!!

For the time being, I am going through the Flight Training Agreement that I have to sign at the end of next week...thus commence flight training on the 22nd of March.

If anybody of you guys are available here in AD or anywhere across the UAE, I'll be more than happy to meet up , good luck for all the candidates.

Thanks for the thumbs up LE7e7 & EYXW...hey, mina-minou...email me with the Qs ASAP

only to UAE nationals??

I would love to join the expanding airline of Etihad someday! Reading up on their cadet program near the end of 2008, it seemed as if they were LOOKING for international applicants by going to Frankfurt, London, etc. but according to their website:
ETIHAD Airways | Emaraati Cadet Training
they are only accepting UAE nationals.

please tell me I'm looking at the wrong program here..
I'm going to be finishing up my degree at Purdue then apply in a couple of years here, but that would be no fun if they restrict applicants to UAE NATIONALS! --what happened to the mix??

Hi

Hi, anyone going to Johannesburg assessment, pilot_pro are you still here?

[EYXW]

Hey welcome to PPRuNe - piece of advice before the mods have you - text speak is not allowed and if you read over the two massive threads on the EY assessment you will find the info that is available and will also hear that people are specifically requested not to post any info they have on the scheme screening here. Best of Luck.

[malirm]

Hi EYXW...check this Alpha Aviation Academy (UAE) , just got a call from them...they have one of the best programs too, but I already paid to DAE FA...what do you say. They mentioned Air Arabia to interview you after graduation!!!

[aceman18]
