If the delivery schedule of new a/c stays as planned I cant see why they would need any DEC on the bigger a/c, maybe the 320?
A lot of the F/Os are more than qualified for upgrade, more DEC would not be a popular decision!

Quick question...

I am filling in the on line form the A320 F/O, but I also have enough hours for the B777 F/O? Will the EY recruitment system spot that it is the same person and that they are qualified for both positions or will applying twice create problems?

Hi all
just another quick question. I saw the closing date for applications B777 are 31/12. I have 2000 hrs on 73NG and about 2200 total. Would it be a waste of time to send off the application untill I have the 2500 hrs total?

Thanks

Nightfire

Yes, unfortunately. Applicants with less than 2500 hours are not shortlisted, and they make no exceptions, not even small ones.

However, if you are currently flying somewhere else, and you know for sure that you will fly the missing 300 hours within this winter season, then I suggest you submit your application anyway.

You won't make 31-12 anyway, far too late for that. And there will be no more screenings until well into the next year. With so (relatively) few hours as you have, you will be asked to bring all your logbooks, and show the records of all the flying you've done. Before joining, you will also have to bring a letter of release from your old company.
Make sure your logbook has no mistakes, that it is signed and stamped, because the authorities will check it before issuing you a licence.



Mister Geezer: No problem submitting two applications, but no advantage for you either. They are all being processed by the same person. If you get an invitation, the company will tell you which fleet you are coming on in case you're qualified for two different ones.

Could someone please give me a rough idea of total income / month for FO 320 / long haul? Basic + Flight duty allowance + Meal allowance.

Thanks.

Basic Salary is approx 25,000dhs for a new joined F/O
Allowances for flying is 40dhs per hour equated to 65-75hrs for a 330 FO.
Plus Allowance for the layover equates to about 2000dhs per month,
Total earning anywhere between 28,000 to 31,000 for a new joined 330 FO not working overtime.

Two "new" A340s delivered by end of December. Can the current staffing handle these, or will it be upgrades or new hires?

CanadaRocks

Can you believe under the new salary structure for cabin crew that the first officer is the lowest paid crew member per hour. The cabin managers flying allowance is 54Dhs/hr, Captain 50Dhs/hr, FA 44Dhs/hr and the cheap FO gets 40Dhs/hr. In effect January 1st, 2009.

Please tell me this is not true someone!

N12EPR - Thanks for the pay information.

You have PM.

CanadaRocks, cabin crew would be more than happy to take your basic salary with no flying allowance at all.

frankbama, new hires priority as always starting April onwards. Very few upgrades only second half 2009 if they ever commence. Do not expect logic to prevail. This month new hires A320 rated guys were given direct A330.

1)are you saying there won t be any new hire classes before April?
2)can somebody write the average monthly layover allowance for A320. (it was written above 2000 dhs/ month for a330)



Thank you

frankbama

John60, My thoughts as well. (post 918)
I know they have guy's in a pool waiting for a class. They were told the first part of next year.(April/May) I guess they will fill the slots. DEC's will continue for the first half of the year due to the ones in the company pool. I agree there is no logic and you sure can't guess the reasons.

frankbama

Saviboy, There is a class that starts Jan 5th, so I would say there are classed going on. Look on the company web sight it lists the pay scales and per diem.

Canadrocks,
The following is the pay details listed on the Etihad website. Hourly flight pay works out to be only a fraction of the total pay structure, so comparing pilot hourly pay to Flight Attendant hourly pay is doesn't tell the whole story. In addition to hourly pay F/O's are paid $6925 per month salary. That is significantly more than Flight Attendant pay.

Frankbama, thanks for info,

I had read the web site payscale earlier and I know the hourly layover allowance according to area. i was wondering, how much does the meal/layover allowance equate to at the end of the month for an average A320 roster.

thanks

No mention about Medical!!! Do you have worldwide coverage?

jimchi

Hello all. Currently, I'm a B-747-100, -200 Capt, flown glass cockpits (+3,000hrs), and has over 7,000 hrs total.

For those who have a good idea of what Etihad sees as a qualified candidate for the B-777 FO position, what are my chances of getting an interview?

Any input would be appreciated.

Stay Capt on 747

Yes EY has worldwide medical coverage, but if you are sick for more than 6 weeks, you will only make half your salary, and it gets worse if you are sick longer.
