i just heard from one of my mates at etihad .. only UAE Nationals are acceptable for the CPP intake .. no more expats ... best of luck to us all :-)

@vaibhav

Review your sources, that's not true.

[united786]

well i was checking the website and there is a cadet pilot programme going on and its only for the UAE nationals.

But i guess they had the same thing last year as well and they still introduced the programme to the rest of the world!

Etihad

Imagine if BA had a sponsorship for British citizens only? The World would be up in arms! I find it incredibly frustrating that I'm ruled out of this incredible opportunity just because I'm British.

And how is the BA sponsorship avaailable to foreginers?!

They don't have one, but he means, if they had one... it would not be restricted to UK citizens. The only thing that could restrict it would be that you need a work permit for the UK/EU, but it doesn't mean you have to be a National.

I see

It comes to the same really. program is open to UAE nationals, not necessarily people from Abu Dhabi...

Anyway i think thats not true. Its just not advertised on the website yet, just says that the UAE program is still open. Its always been there anyway. The international program's been on and off the website so we never know.

[flyhiguy28]

That's what I meant, it simply would be unacceptable in this country for a scheme NOT to be open to anyone who has the right to live and work in the UK, foreign or otherwise!

[TAW89]

Any country would always give preference to its own national people and then later to rest.Its the same case with UAE. Dont blame them for starting the UAE national programme first. This was done when first international cadet program was started too.So I guess pretty soon international programme would start too..fingers crossed


cheers

The Etihad programme will return. From my understand there are 4 destinations planned, but planned being the word here!
Something like this

North America
Europe
Abu Dhabi
East of Abu Dhabi somewhere.

This is for none nationals, its completly different to the UAE programme.
I think patients is the key!

@EYZ

What you maybe true...But as per the mail which we got it said it would start with places first which were canceled due to the economic climate.Lets see wat comes up...

[SV_741_India_Bravo]

[EYZ]

If it doesn't start in Chicago in the first quater of 2010 I would be amazed!

[AzzKeeka]
