advice would be needed
Hello everyone,
I am interested in working for EY or EK as a first officer. So, I've spent a lot of time on taking a look to this thread in detail. Now I need your advice from your experience in UAE. Please refer to below then If somebody gives me any advice, it will be really appreciated.
My status
-1500TT, 1200 on A320, 60hrs fight time a month, 12 dayoffs, lots of layover patterns, ATP, working for one of the star alliance members, married, kids, 6500 USD a month including per diem, redeye, etc.. 1500 USD in tax, B777 or B747 rating will be earned 2 years later.
Reasons for leaving
-Power distance between capt. and FO is really big. Even though it's getting better very slowly, still big. It often made FOs hesitate to advice to capt. even in go-around circumstance. Take over? no way!!
-To pass a medical check, we must maintain body condition similar as astronauts. It's true.
-Our salary is exactly same for 5 years. Despite of an increase every 5 years It might be similar as present pay. Inflation has soared every year. Nowadays bunch of brand new workers of big firms earn more than me.
-In my country, Education system is so weird, unreasonable in comparison with tuition, unefficient. Indeed I hope my kids would be under a good education in an international school.
-Relationship with CC. In my company, PIC means Purser In Command. it's not true officially. In exaggeration little bit, most of male purser and some of female purser think so and do as what they think. I really want to send sincere greetings to my colleague instead of silence and no eye contacting.
-Discrimination between pilots from civilaviation and pilots from the airforce. Later ones absolutely have most of right under company's preference such as upgrade, promotion to chief, executive... that means there is no reasonable rules like a seniority.
-Perhaps, I have to devote myselt to this company about 10 years more to become a skipper. I've already been here for 3 years. Around 17 years would be necessary to be in the cockpit of wide body. It's too long time. I don't want to stay at almost same salary for 12 years
Question
-I have two choices, applying to EY as a FO of A320 now or After getting B777 type rating, then 1 year later(totally 3 years later form now), trying to become a FO of EY or EK. Do you think which one is better for eliminating my complaint toward my current situation?
Sincerely I appreciate for you to spend on reading this and shring your ideas in advance. PM would be reallly welcome also.

Enthusiast.. don't take it too personally... but at 1500tt, you are lucky to have a job anywhere... I would read through these forums before you come fishing here for advice on the fastest route to a widebody command and a dreamy eyed awe-struck cabin crew.
You were hired with what.. 200 hours? I put in nearly 3 years as a flight instructor before flying small cargo/charter.. then a low paying regional job and then up the ladder.
I don't presume to know more than anybody else, just that your woes for the sweet life are a little unfounded for someone who is still paying dues... good luck to you though

RemoveB4Fght,
Give the young fella a break. If he got himself in the right seat of A320 with 300 hrs and by-passed the crap a lot of us had to go through, good luck to him.
As far as “the sweet life” goes, in aviation these days you must be kidding.
But if there is anyone out there “living the dream” I surely would like to know where that is.
Etihad has just removed the DEC applications from their site and added Non-Rated 777 FO.

SSEVP, what does it have to do with pilots 
?
We can discuss the fact that a performance pay is going to replace any possible cost of living rise...but we are talking core staff here not FC/CC.

Easy
You have a licence, a type rating and a valid medical then you qualify
No offence, but you can have the biggest EGo and CRM issue, the lowest tech level, the worst english, but EY needs you, and training dept is so up to speed and proficiency that they can have the best of you in minutes..... Bloody french canadians, don't have a clue, but knows how to pretend and how to build his own roster and screw other real pilots requests....
Welcome and enjoy
Don't worry, EY needs you

A320 recruitment
Hi all,
I just received an email from EY telling me that I'm shorlisted for the A320 recruitment.
I'm surprised cause I'm invited for one assessment day (from 8 AM to 4 PM) in Etihad Academy.
Did they change their recruitment process? I saw on their website that the recruitment lasts 3 days...
I will really apreciate any help from you guys who allready know EY recruitment process.
Many thanks.

BAK, thank you for your interest.
Look around at least !!!!
I just pity us all having to fly for such low progile outfit. Ey ain't the only one but it's the world leading airline when it comes to treat people like c
p.
I'm just saying that EY has to lower its standards . Doesn't it ring a bell when QR is attracting more pilots , despite its outrageous reputation ??
Well it should....
Speaking about your childish comments, well, no....no comment, it says it all about you
