Etihad english test
 

Hi Every one,
I have got a question. Does any body know where Etihad has taken that English test from. Any book or site you know off.

Have a great day:mad:

Interview Feb 2007
 

Hi Guys,
Can anybody tell me what the group exercise is all about?
Thanks

How many pilots EY is interviewing per week. How long from the time you apply to the time getting invited.

Etihad jobs
 

A Quetion for the pilots of Etihad:rolleyes: , Is Etihad a good place to be? I have a job in the US with an income of 75,000 USD with full bennies! Plz advise...
Thanks;)

Does anyone know if Etihad has ever hired an F/O with less than their 2,500 total hours requirement? Thx.

i have an interviwe on mid feb and they asked me to send some documents which i did but i did not get any confirmation if they have received it ??
is it me only ????

I had a phone call from Etihad 3 weeks ago about attending a selection in middle of March and was told to expect a confirmation email but nothing received yet.
Is this normal or are they a little unorganised in recruitment?????

Jetkopite:)

How come so many people get on here and ask for info before reading any previous posts??????

Is it just laziness?

I am a little surprised that people keen on such a major career/life change, dont want to research for themselves...

hmm yeah just asking for future references im getting my command by the

end of the year!!! "keeping my fingers crossed!!!"

Hi lost at fl345!

So you will be soon a captain! That's wonderful. But may i know how long you waited for that? And in which fleet? I am keen on applying with EY and if there is anybody out there who is willing to help, i would truly appreciate it if you could provide some useful info's about EY that would help to encourage me further.

For a A330 FO, how much in dirhams do you get as take home pay (basic salary + duty pay) in one month?

How long to wait for command upgrade?

How's the living conditions in AUH? Is the housing allowance enough to cover for a decent house for a family of four?

How about schools? Are there any good int'l schools you can recommend?

Does EY give incentive pay, bonuses, etc. etc. on top of your salary?

Which destinations do the A330 fleet operate? A340? B777?

Do you have good layovers?

And the most important question: Are you happy working for EY?

EY jocks, please try to give me a straightforward reply to my queries as this would be a very vital factor in making my decision.

Thank you and safe flight to all!

I am not working at EY, but I go to AUH often and think it is a great place to be, even to raise a family. As for EY's routes, check out their destinations section in their website. They fly all over the place.

Good luck to you!

Thank you guys! The package is in their website alright, but I wanted to know if there was something more to it. A first hand info of those currently inside could be more accurate I suppose. Nevertheless, thanks for all your inputs. Ciao!

Coach Potatoe did you know all of this before you joined Etihad? If you did then why did you join them and why complain now?

the carousel
 

Round and round we go , where this story will go nobody knows..........:}

Cmon guys? Honestly, do your homework. Don't believe everything you read here.

You can always PM people, maybe that will help.

Hi Easy,
I do not complain, this is only facts.

thanks semper fii was really thinking to write to etihad and inform them im not coming anymore .....i dont know anyone in etihad so my only resource of information is this forum.

etihad
 

Hi guys

Does anyone have any new info with regards to the new pilot selection at etihad??? ie technical questions,english test ,phsycometric tests,group ex and sim etc

Thanks

What about staff travel and leave?
And any ideas on timeframes for command upgrades?
Overall, it looks better than some of the options I've seen.

Etihad
 

Hi 2 all of u out there.I just noticed that Etihad does not require a type rating any more.But 2 be honest i ve seen 2 many negative comments in the forum concerning housing roster stability etc etc.Also does any1 has any clue if a provident fund does exist over there.Any info would be very much appreciated.Whats the etihad policy on upgrades?Pms are welcome as well.

PS i am a single 30 year old with 4500 and a 7 years experience in B737.So its time for me to fly something bigger.:ugh:

New! Subsistence Allowances
 

Hot off the press. Effective 01 Feb 2007, Etihad is paying subsistence allowances for layovers. This is the first announcement of further enhancements to the renumeration package. :ok:

They'll just take it off your 700 Dhs you now make every day you work:uhoh:

Long overdue. One small step in the right direction. Housing MUST BE next. With these 2 issues solved, heads and minds will turn inwards to help it become a very good company to work for.

Maybe some additional help???
 

Hi everybody;)

I have my interview with Etihad and rest of the assessment process scheduled from February 20 - 22; I checked all the threads (I did my homework:confused:) but didn't find any explicit information regarding technical quiz, English test, psyhometric test, group exercises... personal interview itself??.. questions asked???.. any information from anybody who had interview with EY recently??.. I used the booklet "Preparing for Emirates Interview: The Pilot's Guide".. can I rely on it or there is something else??.. any suggestion??.. adivise???

Thank you for help:) .. I would really appreciate..

Happy landing to all of you...

Etihad
 

Hello all Etihad experienced people.
This thread is entitled Etihad employment- all you need to know.
Well, I've had a good look round but can't find much on the substance of the Etihad recruitment process. Several other guys have appealed in a similar vein. Does this info exist. Can anyone assist. Any help appreciated.
Thanks

New Slary package does little
 

For a new joiner it may seem that there has been improvement but to those here many are not happy.

Inflation (now over 20 percent)and housing (going up 30 percent) are going up every day while your take home pay does not . Also with the durham somehow tied directly to the dollar those of us from Eurpoe are taking further cut as dollar sinks. EY has no currency protection as EK does.

If you should look closely at EK, I know some of us are going to. This management doesn't treat employees as anything other than a slave. While it is run by Europeans, they are not the ones who approve contracts.

I see very little future here, especially for new joiners as you will be at bottom on "senority list" with only a few more aircraft to be delivery.

Better still ...If you dont like it then leave!:}

Hey Guys, I've been over this thread from the start to end, and would appreciate if anyone could give some meaningful info on what to expect at the interview.

I know about the salay, just need a outlook on what goes on over the 3 days ??

Sample questions would also help, thanks.
