Pilots Club
 

Hi guys,

Was just reading another thread about the Emirates Pilots Club and was wondering if Etihad had something similar. If so how does it work.

Assy

we have just nothing about this kind of this social club discount because in EY we are So different :},
you will have to pay a huge fee for playing :eek: golf however EY is the main sponsor for the Abu dhabi golf event on the european tour.
and for the moment we fly to much for any hobbies
safe flights

The Emirates Pilots Club was developed by pilots for pilots. It has now grown to such a great level that everyone is reaping the rewards. Has anyone ever bothered to try and create the same in Abu Dhabi?

A couple of Senior F/O's just being denied upgrade as captains.

Just starting.....

If you have a chance, go to EK asap..........

Just say no to Etihad...........

Interview
 

Can anyone who has recently been through interview process please pm me. cheers..

Hmmmmmm alghazal

Does denied mean the same as failed the selection? , lets try and keep this somewhere near the truth!

But he is the one with the least experience.....

The guys were not ready for command (despite what they thought!)....take the failure on the chin and try working harder next time..

The background of the guys running Ops has naff all to do with this topic...they were failed by experienced trainers....why does every EY thread go round in circles and end up slaggin off the same people!:ugh:

Lets hope standards are kept and other cock sure/sub standard candidates fall the same way.

All the same as far as I am concerned.

Locals with no culture and expats with long teeth!

The rests....well there aren't any

Well, you're entitled to your opinions as well as others are.

But you've got a valid point, experience is no mandatory passport for good management. It's just like flight instruction. You have it or not. A skilled experienced pilot can be an awful instructor as well as a low performance management gig.
On another hand, why not hire somebody who has the experince in the field, who is used to deal with expats needs, as well as flag carrier needs.

Oh, sorry, you have to give him money... so we can't afford it, better make our own mistakes first, play it cheap, and pretend we are a major.

Etihad record passenger growth continues06-08-2007Abu Dhabi: Etihad Airways carried more than 1.9 million passengers in the first six months of 2007, compared to 900,000 for the same period in 2006, an increase of 111 per cent.

The airline experienced average seat factors of 65 per cent for the January to June period. The year-on-year seat factor increase of 20 per cent is a result of Etihad’s continued expansion of its global flight network and the addition of five new aircraft to its fleet.

Etihad’s revenue per available seat kilometre, where airlines measure their commercial efficiency, soared by 31 per cent.

James Hogan, Etihad Airways’ chief executive, said: “The growth achieved in the first half of 2007 demonstrates the impact Etihad is having within the highly competitive airline industry and to carry a million more passengers this year, compared with the same period in 2006, is a phenomenal achievement.

“It is also important to acknowledge the support and close cooperation Etihad enjoys with Abu Dhabi Airport Services, Gulf Aircraft Maintenance Company (GAMCO) and the Department of Transport which has helped Etihad to achieve this impressive growth.”

Many of Etihad’s routes have achieved record passenger numbers in economy class. This includes aircraft which were 87 per cent full on the Toronto service, 92 per cent full on the Manila service and 74 per cent full on the Damascus service.

Etihad’s business class has also seen impressive figures in the first six months of 2007 with seat factor on its London Heathrow flight achieving an average of 76 per cent and Bangkok achieving 72 per cent.

Following its launch in March, Etihad’s Sydney service has performed exceptionally well achieving a 68 per cent seat factor in economy, 85 per cent in business and 78 per cent in first class. More than 40,000 passengers have flown on the Abu Dhabi-Sydney sector.

Etihad’s flights to Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi in Kerala have posted figures of more than 75 per cent seat factor since they started at the end of May.

New destinations from Abu Dhabi to Milan, Brisbane, Singapore and Kathmandu will join Etihad’s expanding flight network in the next few months.

Aw come on recent interviewee's, I know it's a desert out there but throw me a bone, give me some feed back. PM's please! :8

What has local propaganda has to do with this thread...? We all have gulf news..... of course not on board.......

Usual stuff, of course not mentioning that these flights leave with exhausted flight and cabin crews, at the edge of safety..... but who cares.....?

iam presently a GF crew and recently passed the EY application. Do you think its worth it to move to EY? I have heard a lot of bad feedbacks that EY is disorganized (housing, hr etc) but GF is also disorganized with different matters. I want to go where the grass is greener...and that's EY. I would like to ask whats the average you get for the first 6months I would like to know if its more than 700bd...pls reply thank you :)

recruitment process Etihad Airways
 

HI guys !

Have now applied for Etihad Airways for a ground management position..Do they take long to get back to you once application has expired ?
Also do they conduct interviews and tests in Abu Dhabi ?
Any useful information ?
cheers !

Hi icekremelover,

The decision will be entirely up to you. Im just gonna give you some food for thought. EY has not even attained it's 4th anniversary yet. GF just turned 57. EK and QR has complainers and so do all the carriers in the world. Making a judgement on EY now is naive and short sighted. Depends how long you have in you. If you're an experienced guy and what instant stability look at EK. If you're young and can afford a bit of sacrifice then EY would be the place. Again entirely up to you mate.....
