Sorry if this has been answered already, I have only read through a few pages but does Etihad only hire F/O's with current type ratings as their website describes as a requirement?

Think of joining DEC A330
Hi Guys,
Would appreciate if anyone can tell me some guidance about EY and living in AUH.
I'm thinking of joining direct entry A330 Captain position. Have all the requirements and with the current doom and gloom and forecast of higher taxes in the UK, it maybe time to move on.
First of all, are the contracts permanent and what is the normal retirement age in EY? Doesn't give details about these on their recruitment page on the website. Are all crews MMF on A320/A330 or A340?
Please feel free to mail me direct and I will reply ASAP. Ideally would like to have a chat with a EY British A330/A340 pilot about all the terms and conditions, interview, tech exams and simulator. Any info welcome.
Thanks in advance.

The funny email received
My god this is basic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reason for Issue :
OM-A text revised for chapter 8.1.2.1.1(a) paragraph two.
Instruction:
Before commencing an approach to land at the destination aerodrome or
any alternate aerodrome the commander must satisfy himself that he is
able to land and bring the aircraft to a complete stop within 60% of the
Landing Distance Available (LDA).
To determine if the above requirement is achievable, pilots should use the
table provided in the QRH then divide the resultant figure by a factor of
0.6. This value must be less than the Landing Distance Available (LDA).
Airbus : QRH chart 4.03 Landing Distance without autobrake
Boeing : QRH Chapter PI Section 11, Normal Configuration Landing
Distance (with max manual braking)
Follow Up Plan :
OM-A Chapter 8.1.2.1.1 will be amended with the same text.

Indeed..., but problem was that some genius(es) decided to add a misleading customized note to the CAR.OPS text in the previous OM-A version:
So if you wanted to play the very dummy pilot with the old OM-A version, you could have thought that you had to multiply your Autoland Landing Distance w/ AUTOBRK by 1.67...needless to say that it would have prevented you to arrive at some of our destinations...
Correction was required.

Ok Short it should be corrected ,but if a pilot need to look at the OM-A to know that,that's scary my friend.
And the problem with the FOB was that he was like teaching us how to do it.That was really funny.
for a moment i thought that i was in the ATPL school again,lol

Etihad FO application
Hi all...
Base on some of the thread that I have read, the situation over in Etihad is really that bad huh? Housing allowance is not enough for housing, rest days are limited, roster sucks etc etc etc. Then should I even bother to apply if that is the case?
And a few other question. Currently with about 1400 hours on A320 and a total of 3500 hrs, how long will I need before being given the chance for command upgrade? Is there even a chance?
Thanks.
