Etihad Cadet Pilot Programme
 

Hi all

Firstly, I apologise if there has already been a post about this. After a quick search I couldn't find one.

Has anyone looked on their website (http://careers.etihadairways.com/ehi...ish/index.aspx) with regards to the scheme? I am just filling out my application now but where it mentions about putting NA in the boxes that don't apply to you (Employment history - that is previous airline positions/ Current Licenses, etc) but doing this doesnt allow you to save this information.

Anyone else had difficulties?

Same problem
 

Ad,

I've had exactly the same problem and got no idea how to sort this out.
Has someone found a way round this?

the email address they give you in need of assistance ([email protected]) does not seem to work either.
and it is difficult to find an alternative email for them.

if all else fails, try and contact them via the 'feedback' button at the bottom left of the page.

hopefulyl that helps...but anymore suggestions, please feel free to share.

Have you tried putting in your last non pilot employment, and just putting 0 hrs in the boxes?

the application is for the Cadet Pilot Programme..and I have not worked for an airline before. it looks like it's a standard application form for all flight crew positions, and extra info is given to 'aid' the cadets who will be applying.
And yes, i have tried entering '0' in the spaces.

I managed to submit it. I had to put in 1 hours flying, some made up dates for starting and finishing in all the mandatory field boxes. I then inputted NA for the airline I had worked for, NA for the shcool etc.

If you put n/a it won't work.

I am hoping they will relaise that this data is false to just get the form to submit. Good point is it may mean they have had few applicants!

Wasnt there another thread on this. My mate applied a few days back and was told - It's for UAE Nationals only. :ugh:

How interesting and exciting that an airline is actually offering a sponsorship. 12 of them as well! Is there for UAE nationals only? Get applying guys/gals

Etihad Cadet Program
 

Hey guys, very true.. if u try applying, it re-directs u, and matters worse, they have said that u should not write u have any flying experience when u have not flown, BUT the system will not allow u.. Lets keep trying again and again, and hope all works well..:D

I have been looking at the scheme as well.

I notice that the expiry date is 31/12/08. Does this mean they will contact applicants only after this date?

Etihad cadet salary
 

I have a question about the cadet scheme, on the Etihad website is says cadets will receive a stipend of aed6000 per month (around £800). Is this whilst you are doing the 18months of training? or is this your salary for the 72 months (6 years) you commit to working for them?

is that cadet program not for new one which have no previous flying expireance in there form they ask about emloyer and a/c type and than mandotry .then how to fill it up .pls guide i am from india and havedone a/c maintenance engineering and is presently in go air as apprentis.

anyone heard back yet from etihad? apart form the automated response! :p

Interesting programme Etihad are undertaking.

I can't find a FAQ page there, am I missing it?

I'm curious about in the 6 years you must work for them after completing training, whether you can be based in London rather than Abu Dhabi? Also, how easy (and how much £££) is it to transfer the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) ATPL to the JAA ATPL?

Why on earth would you want to live in London rather than Abu Dhabi?

The conversion process to JAA from GCAA will be fairly lengthy I suspect!

With a high of 36 in April, imagine how it will be in the summer.

Because I'd rather live in London :ok:

Finally managed to get my application off today.
So it's just a matter of listening out for their reply now.

Hope everyone gets it sorted :)

instead of 0 you have to put in 1 and NA does work. Does anybody know when we get a reply with regard to phase 2?

I'd imagine you would get bored of going to hotel pools and air conditioned shopping centers.

But this looks interesting, I would certainly like to work abroad for a few years before I settled back down in England.

Maybe I will apply, although I have uni for the next 3 years, if I were succesful I doubt they would hold a place for that long, hopefully it'll be open in 3 yrs time, it's either that or OAT:)
