well said miga..! and david if u really want to know about any aptitude test.. its easy if you google it.. just type what you are looking for and you can just click on to the web site containing it.. and theres no point on asking others about it couse it will be very unfair for those who have done the assesment earlier..

[flybug345]

My bad.

I will put some effort in it.
Thanks for welcome.

No more assessments going on

Hey all, I am really saddened by this event. Did anyone else recieve this email as well?

Dear Candidate,

Due to the current economic climate Etihad Airways will be unable to conduct further cadet pilot assessments this year. We are therefore postponing the planned selections in New York, Toronto and Singapore until further notice.

We very much hope to resume the process in 2010, and will email each of you again towards the end of 2009 should this be the case to confirm your interest.

We are very sorry that the current climate has forced us into this position; however we at Etihad Airways remain optimistic about the future and look forward to hopefully resuming the assessment process in 2010.

That is very bad news. So does that mean Sydney will be the last assessment for this year in June?

I have yet to receive any email about that particular assessment being cancelled, but you say 'Etihad Airways will be unable to conduct further cadet pilot assessments this year'.

Guess I'll get an email soon enough if that is the case. Sick of this economic

Hi,

Bad news indeed, from my information JNB, SYD and AUH will still go ahead as they are very soon.
Lets hope for better things next year.

The Intake number

Hi,

So as far as I can understand...Etihad has reduced the number of cadets they want to take this year...so if it was 25 cadets before...how many cadets will be taken then???

@ EYZ...when you said "as they are very soon", do you mean that Etihad is willing to advance/bring forward some of the assessment dates?...

[MajesticMav]

Wow! This is horrible news. But I am sure I heard that they only wanted 12 candidates. I'm not too sure now. I hope this why they as taking this long releasing the Frankfurt results.

Postponed

Hi all, indeed its a very sad news. I'm line up for the assessment this coming September in Singapore, though I have not receive the email. Looks like they are cutting out those assessment from August to October.

Well, hopefully things may get better and we shall wait for their next assessment and whether will be get recalled is another issue.

Heads up everyone..

April fool´s joke???

to be honest .....it sounds like a bad 1st-April joke,i mean there is sth wrong, e.g: Dear Candidate(i have NOT seen this expression in the 2 last E-mails...it was Dear applicant .... )and on the other hand ,it is not a matter of money,why??? just check this out according to wikipedia)

The airline has not made a profit since its inception, but expects to by 2010. Growth has never fallen below 40% a year. In its first 4 years, it doubled in size every 6 months, and has every year since. In the financial year 2008, Etihad carried 4.6 million passengers and 330,000 tonnes of cargo. International Air Transport Association (IATA) statistics indicate that in 2007 Etihad ranked among the top-ten airlines in the world in terms of growth since its inception in 2003.

so what do you think A340x?????

postponed

i did not recieve any email from them regarding postponing ny assesment, i sent them email regarding this and they sent me reply saying they will inform and give details one month before assesment. i am confused

[EYZ]

The number of cadet places remains the same. I believe those that were to be looked at later this year were lined up for next years courses, as the current climate is unstable to plan for next year already is difficult I guess.
The courses for this year will be made from the 5 selections planned, as was always the plan, no changes, I am told.

Postponing the planned selections in New York, Toronto and Singapore

Hi all,

Bad news. Here is the email I got from them.

Less Competetion

Thanks EYZ for the info...I know that its a hard job to get some insider info from the sources!!!

Taking out 3 Cities will lead to less competition between the others...so, London/Frankfurt for Group 1...then, AUH/JNB/SYD (Group 2), say they are planning to take at least 12 for each group...so 24 is the Minimum No. of Cadets!!!

Now thats a goodluck for Group 2 Guys...hope you get much more lucky in the coming few months & goodluck for FRA guys...I think tomorrow is the day of results...

This email was "sent" suspiciously close to April's fools day. Although I've been waiting for such an email to be sent given the current economic crisis, I have a feeling it is some sort of joke. The same number cadets, but will only be chosen from 5 cities? I mean, assessments at 2 cities have been completed, why continue 3 more and then deciding that Toronto, New York and Singapore will be axed from the list? Look.. if Abu Dhabi is really affected by the crisis, they would not continue with the program altogether. Or minimize it. Having the same number of cadets that were originally planned, but taken from 3 fewer cities is somewhat suspicious. If that really is the case, and the people who completed assessments in London and Frankfurt, and the other 3 cities will indeed be enrolled in the cadet program, I find it extremely unfair. So all in all, as much as I was somewhat expecting this to happen, the timing and information given to us, or lack of information is pretty suspicious.

Please let it be an Aprils fools joke.

I am afraid it's not an April fools joke. Seems to be the real deal. It blows, but nonetheless it is true. Kind of unfair to the YYZ/JFK guys, but hopefully, the best you can hope for is they make sure they do the assessment in YYZ/JFK next year before they do the assessment in FRA/LHR.

Having said that, it sucks but whatcha-gonna-do

Any results from FRA?
