Etihad
Hello Fellow Aviators,
Any information about the hiring process with ETIHAD will be appreciated A330 CAP. Not current in type. Happy Landings!:ok: |
Yeah, i guess they are DEFINITIVELY in bitter need for a few more &qualified (!) A 330/ 340 Skippers, if you read below, how they wrecked their own, brand-new A 340 at the delivery @ Toulose -

I've been wondering about that incident since it happened. It did seem that there was a suspicious lack of information ... and now I see why.
|
re
wow.... that was not a rasist statement ...not at all!
|
Well the article does say ADAT crew, not Etihad and the article seems less than impartial, but a costly example of when procedures are apparently not followed.

This accident seems to come up with regularityYeah, i guess they are DEFINITIVELY in bitter need for a few more &qualified (!) A 330/ 340 Skippers, if you read below, how they wrecked their own, brand-new A 340 at the delivery @ Toulose - extremely embarrasing |
was never a black out.
By the way, are you aware that you are posting in the MIDDLE EAST section? :hmm: your multiple references to the ethnical group of the crew seems "slightly" out of line (on this board or elsewhere), don't you think? Airbusypilot, I am not certain but it seems that Etihad is only interested in current rated applicants at this time. Additonnaly, It was told at the Miami roadshow a couple of weeks ago: no DEC interview before january. good luck |
We were also told at the PHX rode show there will be no more DECs at this time.
|
Hmmm, something is really bad in here. Rotten smell. Seems like a cyber trash all the way from Sweeden! :yuk:
As long as you work for them, then you really like them. I wonder how they still keep up with you! Unless you're one of those suck up's. := |
