Please Tell me its a joke.
I don't know how to describe this feeling, i'm so sad, and angry at the same time, i just can't believe it, everything was in that assessment i was invited in Toronto, everything fitted so perfectly ( I was told someday last year that i would be where i've always wanted to be by August of this year,maybe it's something fool but when i was invited to YYZ assessment i was shocked) i'm so angry with those who where invited to the previous assessments such as in LHR and FRA and just din't show up. Hundreds failed to attend to those assessments !! ; now i'm looking for a chance to attend to the next last assessments, because they a have cancelled the one i was planning to attend (YYZ). I don't know if i should write to etihad asking them a chance to ANY of the following assessments, because i know that more than one will not attend !!!! , more than one will decide to leave a sit empty and maybe continue studies, look for another oportunities,decide that maybe its to hard to be selected, and finally won't attend. That's the chair i would be so happy and so delighted to sit in.
Etihad Staff reading my post: Please if you have any available slot in the next assessments please let me know ! [email protected] , i was already invited to YYZ assessment but now if you have postponed i would like to attend to any assessment left this year.
I'm pretty confident i would be an exceptional pilot for Etihad, i just need the opportunity to probe it, but now i don't see that opportunity coming, i'm so sad and dissapointed, my objective for this year was that: Becoming an Etihad Cadet Pilot, i bought books, studied hard , unless it was a long time to go until August, i wasn't just trying to pass, but i was studying to be the best !!
Now i don't know what to do, if either write to etihad and request an assessment in the next months for Grooup 2 or wait untill 2010, though i havn't receive that email about postponing the assessments yet
I just hope i could have a chance to attend to any assessment left in this year

Okees,
As EYZ has said the number of Cadets planned for THIS YEAR has not changed the candidates who would have attended the cancelled assessments in JFK/YYZ etc. were under assessment for next year.
Whilst this is a big blow to some guys the best thing to do is hope that things pick up ASAP and the guys at EY can get back on schedule with the programme
To those who still have assessments planned the very best of luck to you! You just got an even more rare opportunity!

If I were you I would not place too much hope on this type of scheme opening up again any time soon. Sat here in the desert I can tell you even the mighty Ethiad and Emirates are not immune to the ferocity of this slowdown.
Times are tough, plan accordingly.
P.S. Throwing your toys out of the pram as to how unfair the world is won't help. The world (and airlines) owe young wanabees absolutely nothing.

GSB is right - the majority of people attending phase 1 would have been unsuccessful anyway - not because they weren't good just that on this occasion someone was that little bit better - so having a Plan B is a wise move - get on it - work hard, save lots, live like a hermit and get along to your local training approved flying school.

Gustavo_Nieto you make it sound like that they say shoot one of you family. Things happen get over it. Yeah it is a bit said and i do feel sorry for those who have had the email, but you said that haven't had it so what are you worrying about its not the end of the world.
Your complaining about having an interview canceled just proves that you know nothing about airlines. They change things last minute all the time at least you have had plenty of time to know. Can you imagine being a pilot for one of the bust airlines coming in to work not to have a job anymore or being down route and finding out that you can't get back.
If you react like this with the tests being canceled, how are you going to react if you don't get the job or fail the course.
As Grass strip basher said "Throwing your toys out of the pram as to how unfair the world is won't help. The world (and airlines) owe young wannabees absolutely nothing." Work for it and stop moaning that what the rest of us are doing.

Received the "we regret to inform you" mail for FRA (23th).
I'm sorry, but I feel I have to thank Etihad anyway for giving me this opportunity. I wish you guys have a different feedback.

FRA 24th
Just got the "we regret to inform you" reply from Etihad for FRA 24th session.
Fingers crossed it will be available again next year to re-apply.
I wasnt expecting to get through this stage, but mainly used it for the experience! I believe i gained great experience from it and hope to try again next year aswell which i will be in good stead for!
I also think this experience will stand me in good stead for assessment days in other flying schools which is a positive!
All in all i think Etihad has given us a fantastic oppertunity for all of us. And though this is sad news, fingers crossed it will be available next year!
Good luck to all those awaiting their results

Unlucky guys. Hopefully the other assessments will still go underway. Does anyone know what the pass rate for the FRA guys is likely to be? How many are they looking to take to the interviews? I am sure it was a tough choice for them to make!

Just got my rejection. Was expecting it really as the competition must have been so high i think you would have needed about 95% on everything to get through, and i doubt i got anywhere near that on the GK.
In a way it's dissapointing as i don't feel those test had a massive bearing on your potential as a pilot, I also felt there was no 'difficulty curve' in them. But i am also very grateful for the opportunity and it is fantastic that EY are offering this. Fingers crossed it will still be on next year and if so i will certainly be there (hopefully this time at London) to try again, this time a little bit wiser.

Totally agree RJ111. Did you also go to the FRA assessment after trying for London?
I tried for London, but it was "full", and so they asked me to reply for Frankfurt. After doing this i found out only 50% of people have been turning up for the assessments!
This is a fantastic oppertunity, why havnt more people been turning up, or atleast been letting Etihad know they arn't able to make it?
This would allow more people to have a chance of getting a place in an assessment, surely?

Yeah i had to go to FRA, but it was a fun day and i had to use up some holiday before... today in fact anyway. Ultimately i would have rather gone to London as it would have been cheaper though, because of course, i spend all my cash on flying lessons.
But i don't really care if people aren't that enthused about a free, nothing-to-lose scheme because if they can't be bothered to do that then there's no way they're going to be bothered to pass their ATPL = less competition for me at the business end.
