Very sad to see more and more selection processes becoming HR driven and less about the pilots, the real guy's we fly with. No doubt this will mean more brushing up on spelling and grammer in order to fly some nice airliners... where did I put my 4th form English books!

Well HR involved in recruitment can be a good thing up to a certain limit of course...Just to avoid the "extreme"..
As Boeing man said pilot doesn't only mean being able to fly a aircraft...
(unfortunatly in some part of the world still it is the only requirement...!):\

Hi there,
well I think we all would agree hat MODERATION is the key, like anything else in this world. I'm also against an extensive assessment like Austrian where one travels for a month or so between Zurich and Vienna and at the end of the day nobody knows any more who is who? However I think the presence of HR people might be an advantage providing the selection board with different views. I do agree their opinion should be advisory. I'd prefer to see a selection board comprising of pilots Capt and F/o, HR and psychologist. Never the less we all know it people do change with the time passing by caused by many factors in life therefore there's a need to monitor the progress or regress of the attitude in professional matter. Sooner or later I think a psychologist will be a part of the annual medical.
Cheers.

Surely you jest
 

Isnt it a little too late to be introducing the Psycho tests for new applicants NOW ? What about all the crew who had slipped in through the cracks previously , some who are now lodged in management/training ? {During the days of the "friend get friend" entry requirement :rolleyes: } Shouldnt THEY be subjected to these tests too ? Most of these guys were the first to leave their airlines and rushed to join EY only because of their dodgy records or personality issues , failed entry tests to other airlines etc . I propose all crew present and future be made to take an independent Psycho audit . Otherwise this effort will be kinda like coating a lump of turd with caramel icing just so it will look and smell better. :eek:

My sentiments exactly Camelseyes!

THAT IS NOT TRUE MY FRIEND!!

THEY DO NOT LEAVE THEIR AIRLINES BECAUSE OF ATTITUDE PROBLEMS,NEITHER POOR PERFORMANCE, NOR FAILURES TO GET INTO OTHER AIRLINES.INFACT I FIND THEM TO BE AMONGST THE BEST TRAINED AND EXPERIENCED PILOTS IN THE REGION.

PART OF IT IS CAREER PROGRESS .THEIR CAREER MOVEMENT WAS AT A STANDSTILL AND STAGNANT BACKTHEN AND WILL STILL BE IF THEY HADN'T MOVED!

PLEASE DO NOT SIMPLY THROW ANY FALSE ACCUSATIONS OUT OF ENVY AND JEALOUSY ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU YOURSELF CAN'T MAKE THE GRADE!

CHEERS.

I would also like to know about above program too, as i have been offered an interview in the systems area. Not sure if the above only applicable to flight crew?:confused:

crazy_pilot, hi there. As far as it the technical part concerns I'd suggest just to read the prepare for CX or EK or QR interview. Books like Handling the big jets or Ace the technical questions would do it too. Its not really difficult one just has to remember all those strange dry ATP topics.:ok:
Cheers.

thanks popay for ur response, while u did your best to help it actually confused me even further,
my questiion was that new EY selection program which includes PSYchotecnics, PSYgroup tests etc applicable to cabin crew only OR it's applicable to all jobs, including IT for which i will be inerviewed

Not sure if any member here have had interview with EY for IT specific jobs or non cabin crew jobs, cos that way i can be certin whether i will be going through PSYchotecnics, PSYgroup tests.


Not sure where i can get this, and more importantly applicable to IT jobs?

I guess i can buy the book over the net but that would be applicable to back office job, i.e IT?

Would be ideal to hear from a memebr here who has gone through the inetrveiew process for IT jobs :ok:
Cheers

Etihad Employment
 

Just read through the website.Vacancies for First Officers A330,A340 and 777 and DECs as well.Apparently there is a new improved package offered...

The housing allowance has increased slightly, still not enough to cover your cost for apartments or villas. There is the company provided accommodation for Apartments only and they are really not up to my personal standard. The personal insurance was changed to a different company with a small increase to benefits. There is some rumors that the basic pay will increase but that has yet to be seen. Personally I think they need to keep working at it to fill the upcoming vacancies.

Amberman you are correct on everything except medical. It has gone up from a maximum of AED250,000 per family member per year to AED2,500,000. Much better with the intricacies remaining pretty much the same including woefully inadequate dental and optical coverage.

EY or EK? Depends on whether you are a Capt, FO, with family or not, love Dubai with all its excitement (and traffic), love Abu Dhabi and its slower pace.
An optimist that EY will improve housing soon or not a believer.
Enjoy being in the big machinery of EK or in the fledgling EY that you can help grow. ie; seniority 1700 or 370.
It's a very personal thing and I know folks at both carriers who KNOW they made the right choice. I KNOW I DID!

For how long?

FRACTIONAL....There are no guarantees...Hopefully for as long as I want to be here.

Bredrin,
I am not quite sure where you are coming from, so I take you prefer EY, and chosen to be there and like it? it that true?

I was in the Q right behind ETD tonight out of JFK(340). any other opyomistic points about the airline?

Lots or rumors about improvements to package...but when we see it..we'll believe it
