Rahul.
I assume you are with Jet. Why would you want to leave Jet?
I am curious as I am trying to get back to India, currently flying the 320 in the US.

PM me if you dont want to post.

Thanks

Hi gals & boys...

will keep it short and sweet. i have an interview coming up here in a few weeks with etihad. does any one have a gouge or other info that might be helpful for a successful outcome?
Besides myself here at my current airline i know of at least another 10 fellow pilots that are coming over for an interview here shortly. would be nice if we were fully prepared for it since things are going down in a handbasket over here. we are all a320 pilots.

any insight and assistance would be greatly welcomed by us all.

thanks

Anyone who has recently interviewed recieved a class date? If so in what month? Interviewing in November and I have read through the various posts. Any new/recent gouge would be apreciated.

Thx.

Thanks..

FYI Guys , all I have to say is 6 US pilot out of 6 US pilot got send home
and they were not all bad not at all , I will spare you the detail of the sim ride “ for captain “ but it is nothing like you have ever done in the States at least , it is not about flying it s about how much of a beating you can take so remember no United , not Us Airways not jet Blue etc etc …. it doable but think more like Chuck Yeager than smiling jack sorry I had to put it in perspective LOL, the guy seating side way behind you is not name Baba ( that would be really nice ) draw you conclusions… Oh just in case you wonder I did not get send Home , just trying to pass the info that’s all , Take care .

Why so cryptic?? Can you shed some more light on the process??

With out saying it you obviously believe the company has something against American pilots.

Without pretending that Etihad is faultless. I have a simple question for you.

If it was true that they have something against American pilots, a) why would they spend money on roadshows in the US looking for pilots, b) why would they invite them to AUH for interview and use up valuable manpower (sim instructors) and sim time not to mention money for hotels etc if they had no intention on allowing them thru.

Just FYI we do have American pilots not sure of the number, so I will not even try and guess.

AUH

sec 3

It's pretty simple. It is a GCAA requirement to be able to fly a raw data ILS on your first company skill test, so that's why you must do one on the recruitment sim check. As for the comment that American pilots are somehow prejudiced against,it's simply a crock of ****. Did Yeager fly an Airbus?

Slowflight2008

WOW easy switch to decaffe LOL , just telling what happen that’s all, you crack me up some time , Hey have a great day

NG_Kaptain

Agree with sec3. If you can, get some sim time and practice raw data until you get proficient. If you have a job now but are looking at furlough soon you should practice hand flying, with no automation only using the bird. EY wants to hire you but you must pass the assessment.

It should be rather obvious by now; Americans can not fly airplanes, they can only build them and their components i.e. engines, avionics, brakes....and so on. Aviation in America (the "birthplace of aviation") is slowly coming to an end because of the inferior piloting skills of Americans!

frieghtdog

Rock on , since you hate American pilots so much, why did you choose your location as USA, it does not make since

Rock on, although I'm European and not especially fond of Americans, I find it wrong of you to generilize. There are good operators and bad ones everywhere.

Hi All

I read these posts and at times laugh at them and at others times shake my head in total agreement with them so I have now decided to write something about them giving my point of view.

FYI I am currently flying for EY and within the last 8 months have jumped through all the hoops required to get where I am today, take my advice however you like but this is what I have learnt or seen.

Firstly, no matter where you are coming from in the world be prepared for a shock, the exception maybe if you are coming from another middle east region.

EY is expanding rapidly and use this 'excuse' to explain a lot of their short fallings, from my point of viw I put it down to poor planning and poor communication. One thing you will learn here very quickly is how poor the communication is. Personally I think it is a combination of the wrong people for the job but mainly it is due to the cultural differences between the people working within the company. As you know EY is a relatively new airline and because of it's growth rate alot of pilots have been employed from all over the world, the problem with this is that everyone flew the same aircraft but for different airlines therefore everyone has there way of doing something. It maybe better or it maybe not but unless it is EY SOP's it ain't right, therefore a day at work can be at times frustrating to say the least. The communication problem is not just within Flt Ops either this is through out the entire airline.....

If you are coming to EY for an interview or to start, to ensure your life is a little easier please take note of the following :

For the Interview, know you will have to fly the sim raw data, ( NO AUTOPILOT, NO FLT DIRECTORS, NO AUTO THRUST ) WITH ONE ENGINE INOP FOR AN ILS APPROACH. This is a GCAA requirement. EY doesn't hate US pilots, I think SOME US pilots may have to realise that the world doesn't revolve around them that's all. I personally have nothing against them..........

Ensure you get an eye scan when you turn up for the first time, ( not the interview but when you start ). If your family are to follow ensure they do to regardless of where you are from.

Ensure you have your drivers licence and passport issued from the same country, if you don't it becomes a huge headache and a lot of wasting time and money to get a licence.

Be prepared to do alot of work for yourself, the company don't wrap you in cotton wool and hand everything to ya.

Personally I'm enjoying my time here, at the moment it's down to about 1 day in every 7 where I think what the f*&k have I done where as the month I arrived it was 6 out of 7. It will take you around 6 to 12 months to settle here from what I have heard and I so far would have to agree.

Best of luck to all and I hope to see you in the flt deck soon
