You'll be lucky to get anything within 6 months of start. You'll be living in a hotel. So leave the family behind till you get your place.
With kids in tow you'll eventually get a villa. Rent is HUUUUGE.
I dont work there but have researched this airline like hell but found its not worth it for me at this time. With some improvements it could be.

Well lets see...at current exchange rate 115000 AED is equal to $31313.86 USD.
Just from this you can see that rent is already expensive if they are willing to hand over up to 115000AED you could probably do better with a 1 bedroom apt in Manhattan. It seems though as if renting is a hassle and its better to purchase...most reasonable 1 bedroom apartments or as they say "villas" go for around 110K AED starting but im sure you can find cheaper

An Apartment is just that, an Apartment, or some call it a flat. (the British influence) A Villa is either a stand alone house or part of a townhouse complex. Usually 3 or 4 together. You will not get a decent "Villa" for less that 200,000 DHS. The current housing allowance is 120,000 DHS.

Does Etihad and other airlines in the region for that matter frown upon a failed checkride? Tt happened to me years ago but don't know how throurough they go into your background. Not so much of a problem in the states but hearing as though interviews are really selective I'm wondering if it's even worth applying?

Housing allowance is a joke! A bad one!
115K for an F/O and 120K for a Captain.
Barely get you a hovel in a bad area of town. Rents have gone up, in some cases over 50% !
Don't even think about asking about the education allowance....
