I hope our management realise that we will not be paying for the parking at the airport.
|
I have been told that this ADAC Airport Parking email was sent to all UAE-based staff but it doesn't concern flght crews in terms of payment.
EY will pay whatever it takes, but flight crews will be entitled of free parking spaces at the airport. 1/ Information to be confirmed 2/ IF this information is confirmed, the email sender is really stupid to spread erroneous information like that. It only creates anger and frustration... IF not, this is completely NOT acceptable; EY would make a dramatic mistake by implementing this to flight crews. To be continued... |
Went to the airport, paid the 900aed went to HR and got it back b4 I left.
Just get someone to use your card whilst you are out of the country, solves the 9 day issue. |

Break the Law and Enjoy Living in Abu Dhabi
It may sound like a cliche after all what have been posted here. Etihad Airways needs to do something about the current housing situation...
Allwances are far from realistic and have nothing to do with what's happening in the market. Sometimes I can't help but wonder, is the housing departments really talking about the same Abu Dhabi that I live in?? Someone up there needs to stop acknowledging and apologizing about the price increase... to step down and do something for apology alone is of no help to us. With the smallest single bedroom apartments costing 6-didt figures in annual lease, technically, if you are a senior officer or even in junior management, you can't afford a place to live in. You are indirectly compelled to break the UAE laws and sub-lease along with lodgers just make ends meet and save just a bit of money. Mind you, sharing accomodation is banned by the UAE laws and is considered a felony to wich one could be jailed and heavily fined. Therefore, I fully hold Etihad Airways HR and housing department responsible for this "felony" I was forced to commit. Seriously, my heart goes out for those with families and kids to send to schools. It must be tough out there. Moving to ADAC in a few weeks after serving EY for 4 years.... Will miss EY but I just got sick & tired of being forced to break the law. Mind you, many are leaving for the same reasons. :uhoh::confused: |
Gents can we put the handbags away please, your behaving like juveniles!!
Please get back onto the subject, or i will delete every post that isn't on topic. EGGW |
fair enough EGGW - handbag stowed. :}
|
And I, chastised.:uhoh: Handbag retracted.
|
Any Ideas why interviews for upgrade were cancelled this month?
|
They are hiring DEC, maybe.
|
I am currently in Abu Dhabi renting accomodation with my partner, I therefore dont need the cabin crew accomodation, would I be entitled to a housing allowance?
|
Maybe one of the reasons is the big ROAD SHOW in USA coming now in August and i think they wish to recruit a lot of DEC's:ugh:
|
tHe guys doing their upgrade are taking like 3 months .
and they are still surviving on basic pay . pay should be at least an average of your last 6 months . would make the transition alot smoother . |
There are pilots abound. Shortage is a myth. Just look what's happening with the American, European carriers and others in the real competitive world?
Just like EK did so far, EY, and others needing it, will go anywhere and everywhere to make the numbers work without having to change their present pay scale. And they will only change pay packages if those numbers become short of the targets. It is obvious that the "bean counters" will do just that everywhere in the world; pay on demand. |
Hiring Americans is a short sighted policy....very few will be long term...first sign of trouble or an upturn in US aviation and they will be gone.....sorry guys its true!:}
|
Hiring Americans is a short sighted policy....very few will be long term...first sign of trouble or an upturn in US aviation and they will be gone |
The problem is there are only a few competent managers in EK and I dont think they do recruiting!:}
I do however agree that hiring furloughed US pilots is not the answer, it might help short term to fill seats but they need to start planning a little more long term. Train guys like EK and stop looking for the easy option everytime! Hogan needs to realise that saving a few pence today is not a longterm recruitment plan...give the recruitment people the green light to put something more substantial in place....stop thinking about your bonus for once!:rolleyes: |
Hey guys , please put some pictures online for us to see this beautifull accomodation? LOL
And what really means SMBZC? No jokes pls. |
Chandler Bing, stop moaning. You had all the warning in the world about EY and it's problems...... especially accommodation, but you decided you knew better and chose to ignore. Now you are moaning like a stuck pig. You made your bed, now sleep in it.
It means smbzc means sheikh mohd bin zayed city |
Why don't you anti-American folks here name a nationality that hasnt moved on? Or bitch on Pprune for that matter...dont think the bitchers and moaners here are yanks are they??
|
No they dont stay around long enough!:}
|
hey could you pls put a link for google map position of that Etihad accomodation or pictures?
This is the link for the newest Qatar airways Accomodation,if any pilot have the curiosity to know Ain Khalid Gate Compound. Villas for Captains(4 Bedrooms), 3 bedrooms Apts for married F/Os and 2 Bedrooms Apts for Single F/Os. ain khalid gate compound,doha,qatar - Google Maps Tks, KF |
Crew Fraternizing? Can we or not? It seemed as though at QR, the postings mostly stated it was not allowed. Sure would be a lonely existance if it were frowned upon. |
Not an issue, except if you live in the Al Jazeera building:}
|
Can someone please explain the Al Jazerra building........ Is it a dump or just a party place for all the singles??
|
My friends u r speaking for the most useless person in EY......
Mr S.R. do not expect more than that.....in the good way......... |
A picture is worth a thousand words. I did a recce the other day to see what this place looked like and snapped a few photo's. If someone can explain how tp ost them on here I will gladly put them up.
Pretty shocking, and I was trying to view the SMBZC complex with an open mind. |
Put the images on a webpage, lots of web options for that and then include the link in a post. Don't use flickr as its banned in the UAE.
EGGW |
Lets see if this works.
my latest images of Etihads housing for all new joiners and existing pilots who wish to move. These are average shots of the complex and mussafah. I did not try and find the worst views, just pics from within and around 5 minutes of SZBMC. Etihadghostrider - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting I hope this works. |
What is the present situation? anybody moved in already? how many buildings are ready or occupied?
What guys do you plan to do? Hope Ey will get rid of all this clowns at housing dept.. not to mentioned SR :oh: |
The 2 men, do not look to happy that you have taken their picture. Nice looking couple!
|
Hey guys do you know how it looks inside?Is there any Club house with pool,gym and a field for team sports, Kids park? From outside not that bad. OK the area is crap, like in Qatar Airways around Ain Khalid Gate the newest Compound for flight deck crew but in Abu Dhabi at least they have a project for the whole area and it will look nicer in the coming years after the development.
|
I cannot figure out in Google where this buildings are. Could anyone show it please? I was in AUH few weeks ago, but obviously I wasn't looking for MBZC.
I believe the area will change its present looks within 5 to 10 years as it happened in Dubai, Sharjah, Doha, Manama, Muscat where the waste land was replaced by nice residencial areas. Unles you buy your own apartment/house, do not expect anything of high standards. Read this stuff published in AMEInfo last March. I do not know where Z6/1, ME8, ME9, Z9, and Z29 sectors of Mohammed Bin Zayed City are, and this is why it would be nice to know it in Google from someone familiar with it. The Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council, the agency responsible for the Urban Planning of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi , and the expert authority behind the visionary Plan Abu Dhabi 2030 Urban Structure Framework Plan, announced an enhancement of the design regulations covering commercial towers in Mohammed Bin Zayed City (MBZ City). The enhancement, which increases the flexibility of the design guidelines within the MBZ development, affects the tower developments in the Z6/1, ME8, ME9, Z9, and Z29 sectors of Mohammed Bin Zayed City, located on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi Island. H.E. Falah Al Ahbabi, General Manager of the Urban Planning Council stated that the revisions to the design guidelines will allow a more beneficial mix of apartments, without sacrificing the quality of living and provision of services intended and reflected in the master-plans. According to the approved master-plans, every tower to be built in MBZ City has a defined maximum allowed built-up area. The design regulations will now outline the maximum allowable number of units per building type to plot owners. With these two parameters, plot owners can decide on the apartment mix to be used. H.E. Falah Al Ahbabi, General Manager of the Urban Planning Council, said 'We reviewed objectively the need for changes in the interpretation of the design guidelines, aiming to ensure that plot owners could maximize their investment as well as respond to market demands. The decision to implement this policy is also a safeguard to ensure unbiased treatment for every plot owner. 'All other regulations will remain as issued and as per the approved master-plans. This new regulations, in combination with the design guidelines already published, will ensure that targeted quality of living as well as the envisioned spirit of the development are maintained.' Al Ahbabi further stated that the ideal mix across the development would likely be, by area, 25 per cent one-bedroom apartments, 60 per cent two-bedroom apartments, 10 per cent three-bedroom apartments and 5 per cent four-bedroom apartments. However, he said the final choice of apartment mix would be made by plot owners, as long as these remained within the maximum number of units and built-up area. |
Although I haven't checked I doubt the building will be on Google Maps as it's new and they don't update the maps that frequently. You'll probably get a good idea of the area though.
The "couple" in the pictures posted (linked) above is indicative of the local inhabitants over the weekend. |
EY346Driver, the location is good enough even without showing the buildings. Google, under Satellite (with the Show Labels ticked), gives a pretty good indication where these buildings are now located. Google isn't too bad. The new AUH runway is already showing.
Tks anyway. |
housing
I think that housing in EY is a matter of luck!! remember when some of us joined, there were no company provided accommodation, then they started with some city buildings, then they were not enough. Then came the villas in Khalifa City B, nobody wanted them, now they aren't enough. Delma took like 6 months to be full, etc., etc, and now is Mussafah of SMBZC (as some ones call it), tomorrow????? nobody knows.... I really believe that someone must plan the growth of the company with all it's consequences, it is irresponsible to plan to buy 100 airplanes and dream of a huge airline without planning on housing, schooling, PARKING!!!!, benefits, etc., etc., so please Mr. JH and board of directors for the first time in your lives don't be greedy and selfish, and and do what you've learned in the university (the management process is PLANING, organizing, executing, directing and controlling) we really look forward to have at least one good memory of your management. So please fix something tangible, not stupid things like dress code, travel down-gradings, ethics code, OTP (when in the 99.9% it's not crew's fault), etc.
