Etihad 777
Happy New Year !!
The EY website states that the Airline will acqure 5 777's.
When will the new airplanes arrive? Does anybody know the schedule ?
Are they hiring 767 pilots anytime soon?
Tks

Etihad B777-300ER's
Hi samuelcam,
It is indeed correct. Etihad Airways are receiving 5 B777-300ER's in 2006. All 5 are in various stages of construction.
The first, which is A6-ETA is sitting at Boeing awaiting the seat-manufacturers to deliver the seating.
I believe that it will arrive mid-Feb 2006. And the other 4 within a month or so of that...
They were originally scheduled for delivery around November 2005, but Boeing went on strike, and now the seat-manufacturer has problems...
If you visit airliners.net, you will find a picture of the first B777-300ER there...
Etihad will have a fantastic IFE system, will live satellite TV feed to each and every seat...
Cheers

Re: Etihad 777
I bet they would love to take GF 767 pilots, but as far as I know, if you expat, you are bound by n o c, and word has it that EY won't pinch GF pilots. Agreement by the powers that be, I believe. Sucks, doesn't it?

Hi Samuelcam,
EY will receive 5 777's between January & March 2006.
If you are looking for 777 position, it looks like you are late.
Are they recruiting for 767 anytime soon?.. Got no idea !
Did you see the EK website though ? There might be some issues involved
but it is worth considering . FYI EY have only 1 767/
Good luck

Re: Etihad 777
Is it correct that the 777 deliveries have slipped right a bit ( due Boeing industrial problems last year), and that the associated 777 recruiting has slowed down aswell ?

Re: Etihad 777
Indeed!!
This is a very quiet place.
The EY guys are silent, it seems.
They do not like " foreigners ", it looks like.
Say something !
Does your employer keep you in the dark about what is happening in your pit ?
I thank all others who replied to my post
