And not in this particular order
Jolly Jumper!
WB (LTU)
HW (LTU)
GR (LTU)
SaS (GF)
AiY (GF)
FG (EK)
YaH (Al Tayer)
JG (Duni)
SA (Famine)
SR (Goa)
HA (OZ)
SR (Red spot)
That should clear some hay from the stack.

The truth about Etihad
Until such time that Robert rids himself of the useless imbeciles who have so far managed the company, Etihad will remain the useless outfit it is now.
With no coordination, wondering aimlessly, with criminals at every corner of the building.
Al Salmi and Borchert's conflict of interest has prvoven a few things:
1-This is not Gulf Air (And thank God for that)
2-Al Salmi never was and never will be a CEO
3-Borchert neither
4-Aqeel will dance to any music
5-Al Salmi? Aqeel turns a blind eye
Now if the company wants credibility within and out it needs to rid itself of these shady characters who simply trun everyone else off. All the staff is discusted that these individuals are working with them, from work practice to ethics they simply revulse everyone.
Of course they were chosen by Al Salmi and Aqeel who only had in mind to recreate The Gulf Air atmosphere of Bahrain with all its corruption and despotism, justifying their actions in the name of the Chairman....
Lets see how long they last!

@mascarpone about GR I cann tell you that he was in FTI and VA but not in LTU.
About WB I can tell you that guys at LTU are very happy that he left.
He made up a new Union in LTU and with all his knowledge about the situation of the pilots he later supportet the Swissair Managment when they cut the salaries by about 15-20%, WB received a very good bonus for this, a few hunderdtousends.
The union wanted to sue him, so he let them know that he has cancer and that the doctors give him about 6 month to live, so the union dropped the case.....but as you can see, he is still alive, happy and flying.

This is what I read about etihad on skytrax.... No comments
"We flew LGW to Abu Dhabi return. Flight out was only 1/3 full and seat room no issue. The crew were in such a rush we hardly had chance to eat the meals. Food disappointing for an Emirates equivalent and drinks were given out as if on rations - and I only wanted diet coke, so overall would not rate this airline compared to Emirates and Qatar Flight back was so cold and the crew were not interested. Food was poor. Water was provided for each seat but who wants warm water especially leaving UAE at 40 degrees temperature? "
And:
NO RANKING
Combined Quality of Product / Staff service in airport and onboard environments
First Class (Diamond Zone) U
Business Class (Pearl Zone) U
Economy Class (Coral Zone) U

Gendec ..... you might be interested to know the thread mentioned has been removed from the cabin crew web site.
Obviously EY does not want the truth to get in the way of reality in their quest to bring Laham shaham to the slaughter.

The remaking of a Gulf Air disaster
The previous two posts are clear indications that Etihad is no different from the Gulf Air of Sheikh Ahmed many years ago.
Staff complying to whims of the chairman and accepting the humiliation and servility so prominent in Gulf Air during his tenure.
Everyone knows what the results of that were, and the accidents that ensued are only a small indication compared to the damage caused to Gulf Air in the process.
If this is the new airline of the 21st century, then I am Beethoven and what I write is poetry.
What will become of this airline is simply another slaughter house for the unknowing like Gulf Air was in the late 90's under the same management.
God Help you all.

Fourplay has removed every post in regard to recruitment for Etihad, it seems he has gone back on his enthusiasm!
Truly priceless, to lie about one of the worst oufits I have seen when it comes to ethics and where staff are considered property of the whims of the chairman and senior management.
Feodalism in its prime.

Talking about changes -
Just saw the following...
Etihad to fly to Toronto this October
28/07/2005
Abu Dhabi: After spreading its wings over the Middle East, Asia and Europe, Etihad Airways now plans to fly to its first destination in North America. Starting October 2005, the National Airline of the UAE will commence operations to Toronto via Brussels with three direct flights every week.
“We are looking forward to our first trans-Atlantic flight to North America within just two years of operations. Our flight to Canada will be a launch pad for our services to the US in the summer of 2006,” says Ian Ferguson Brown, Etihad’s Head of Communications. “This new operation reflects our commitment to place guest needs at the core of our strategic development, especially with regard to destination selection. Currently, there are no direct flights from the UAE to Canada, so this new route will provide our guests with greater flexibility when travelling to Europe and North America.”
The new route to Toronto via Brussels is expected to significantly enhance the link between the UAE, Europe and Canada, providing even more opportunities for business and tourism. Bilateral trade between Canada and the UAE is expected to double this year. The Canadian Business Council in Abu Dhabi was launched in March 2005, paving the way for even more Canadian companies to continue investing and expanding operations in the UAE, especially in the energy, environment, infrastructure and health sectors.
The launch of this new destination supports one of Etihad’s key goals of offering the people of Abu Dhabi and the UAE access to as many of the world’s capitals as possible and ensuring Abu Dhabi’s role as a hub between East and West, North and South. Etihad expects to add New York as a destination in 2006.
To the US in 2006??? How will they fare with the FAA red tape???
Cheers!

Well anything is better than YKZ which in my opinion would have made an ideal connection from AAN, the Middle East's capital of round abouts. 2 of them in font of the airport alone!
