Career progression when joining A320
From what I can really get here (and what people who worked in one of the big 3 keep repeating) I have an impression that EY is a company where you will make decent money, live in modern but calm and very family friendly city and in a relaxed manner go to work. Sounds like paradise ! However I am actually curious what is the career path when you join now on A320. There is a considered aircraft order and big needs for the pilots- but what everybody is afraid of is to be stuck on narrow body for the rest of the life. Any thought or real life examples?

I dont know exact figures but its best you apply and ask as they do change apparently. But there is a bond and you’re even bonded again if you change fleet…so it is good to keep it in mind. Sorry can’t be much more help
it seems like you want to apply..what is holding you back? Good time now

So because I said something you didn't want to hear you reply with sarcasm?
You have made 20 posts in 22 days of being on prune. Why don't you try reading some threads first instead of making posts every day?

Etihad application
Hi. Got a question for you all. I applied about 10 days ago. Meet all the requirements. Application came back as rejected pretty much the next day. Can’t find an email or number to get in touch with them. [email protected] and .ae don’t answer. Already tried those. Has this happened to anyone? Any thoughts?

I got my assessment in the beginning of may and i joined Etihad in august , so after assessment, you just wait 3-4 months to join which is acceptable
About the salary and the package , yes EK is better but the costs of living in dubai is way more higher , EY is giving 160k housing allowance per year
You can find 1 or 2 bedrooms apartments in good locations such as al raha beach or reem island with price of 80-90-100k
If you want bigger apartments or villa , then you should go 150-170-200k
Abu Dhabi is a lot more comfortable and not chaotic like Dubai , especially for family
As a widebody FO , i fly almost 70 hours a month with roughly 10-12 sectors , all layovers at least 24 hours
I make 30-31k , plus housing allowance 13k , it can be saved from housing allowance, depends on the apartment you wish to live
Training is busy but not difficult if you do what you need to do , they want you to finish as quick as possible , so be ready for 5 days a row sim sessions
People here have complaints ofcourse, but i am sure in EK is same , pilots do complain
So overall i am in Etihad for like 6 months and i feel good , no regret at all
If anybody has more specific questions , i may try to help
And No i did not fail EK assessments!!!
