EY cadet pilot recruitment
Hey,
Just got my email inviting me for an interview for the cadet pilot program, and I was wondering if anyone has completed the 1st stage and if they have any insight, information or help?
I have never been in the sims or anything, could that adversely affect my performance in the test?

Hi phab5ive.
Congratulations on getting a chance at the interview. You might want to also check out the pprune forum thread etihad-world-wide-cadet-scheme to see if anyone else got an invite.
I am not an insider here so can't specifically say what goes on with the cadet scheme but speaking generally they would be looking for cadets with 'the right stuff '. That would be personality, motivation, aptitude, education standards, CRM type skills, multi-cultural tolerances, communications skills and hand-eye type coordination skills in line with aircraft manipulation. After all they would be making a large investment in training the cadet.
Basically I would expect the interview process would follow the general pilot assessment interviews such as an English test, Technical test (maths, science and general knowledge), Psychological testing, Group exercise, personal interviews and extensive medical.
If they did have a sim session I would expect it would be general co-ordination exercises (look-do and follow verbal instructions). Treat this as fun as after all they can't expect a new cadet to have advanced flying skills to handle V1 cuts and 1E Raw Data ILS!!
Overall be yourself and be professional. Come prepared. Read up about Etihad general info, the places they fly and some UAE general info.
Have fun and good luck.

Etihad pilot recruitment info(Merged Threads)
Hello all,
I have been trying to find fresh info about etihad, especially about scheduling.
1)how many days off/month do narrow body and wide body pilots get?
2) is the 320/319 schedule made up of only turns or are there any lay overs?
3) What are competitive times to get interview?
4) is total time the only factor that determines on which a/c a new hired ends up? ( i think above 2500TT is for A340)
5) I suppose there is a big variety of nationalities in the flight deck and the cabin,am i right?
thanks

1) About 10...
2) Round trips and layovers (4 for the time being)
3) càd???
4) Ratings and company needs at the time of joining, if you have an A320 TR, you will probably join on that fleet
5) 120 nationalities in EY so...you are right!

thanks for the answers.
1)
10 days seems very low. Is it that something due to understaffing or was it always intented for the pilots to have only 10 days off?
2) question 3 was: what does one need to have in their logbook, as far as flight times to be hired nowadays? published minimums or a bit more (or maybe a bit less?)?
thanks

I think you will find 10 days is pretty normal as guaranteed days off per month....in practice you may get more but not much more!
I would be suprised if they accept less than minimums, there are more and more qualified guys appearing on the market..unfortunately it will become an employers market!

thanks for answering
do the 320 schedules average less days off?
I fly a 320 in the US and average about 15-16 days off a month with 75-85 hours of block time. a lot of lines only have turns with no lay overs. only lines with 24 hours lay overs after 6 hour flights average 13 days off.
is there something I am missing?
can somebody elaborate a little? maybe somebody could PM a typical schedule for 320 and widebody.
thanks a bunch.
just trying to get as much info before I jump ship.
also interested about tattoo question

Roster Request
Hi, we're also doing the "do we, don't we" dance at the moment, then if we do, which one?!?! If someone could PM a roster through for either the B777 or the A320, I'd really appreciate it. I know it's not a bed of roses but people still keep coming, so something has to be OK....
I think it's about being prepared that you won't be living in a bed of roses.....
Cheers
