What do you mean with new video interview?
Is it like for the Emirates assessment that we need to do the HireVue video interview for English? or you mean an HR kind of interview? seems to be pretty similar to the EK. Haven’t done anything yet, just curious and trying to get some intel |

About the salary and the package , yes EK is better but the costs of living in dubai is way more higher , EY is giving 160k housing allowance per year You can find 1 or 2 bedrooms apartments in good locations such as al raha beach or reem island with price of 80-90-100k If you want bigger apartments or villa , then you should go 150-170-200k Abu Dhabi is a lot more comfortable and not chaotic like Dubai , especially for family As a widebody FO , i fly almost 70 hours a month with roughly 10-12 sectors , all layovers at least 24 hours I make 30-31k , plus housing allowance 13k , it can be saved from housing allowance, depends on the apartment you wish to live Training is busy but not difficult if you do what you need to do , they want you to finish as quick as possible , so be ready for 5 days a row sim sessions People here have complaints ofcourse, but i am sure in EK is same , pilots do complain So overall i am in Etihad for like 6 months and i feel good , no regret at all If anybody has more specific questions , i may try to help And No i did not fail EK assessments!!! |
First Officers
What do Etihad look for in First officers? Do they like them from certain airlines more than others?

Minimum 6-10 years. P.S They used to make you sign a waiver with your application that you won't demand an upgrade or fleet change. |

I think Etihad is on the right track with all these plans!
I am sure theres no firm information as to why he went to Riyadh Air other than the obvious but I am sure that Tony left Etihad due to the physical damage he suffered to his ribs, through uncontrollable laughing when they told him they were going to grow to need 70 more aircraft ..... |
until what age of children is education allowance provided?

With regards to Etihad’s growth you need to consider its done in a planned staging and the growth is there as they coupled this with a new airport that supports this capacity. Together with the Capital’s growth and development. Emirates and Qatar’s airport currently are at maximum capacity hence why EK moving away in the next few years. Otherwise they would also be growing. This has allowed Etihad to capitalise but also a big chunk of those aircraft are 320/321s which allow a more sustainable growth suitable for their loads. I think its not coincidence they have registered record profits since covid and growth every year. Of course theres always a risk of another world event to bring everything down but what brought them down previously was the poor management ideas and investments in other failing airlines really. |
from what I know as a couple only one gets the housing allowance

If a couple works for EY do both of them get a housing or is it just one. Asking since the allowance is now paid as cash and not company provided accommodation. Also housing is a big chunk of total pay.

Wrong, the housing allowance is given to all pilots regardless.

ETIHAD Assestment
Hi everyone, I’ve heard that the recent pilot selection processes at Etihad have been absolutely brutal, with only a very small percentage of candidates passing. Apparently, the general knowledge test has become insanely difficult.
Does anyone know which question bank they’re using now? It seems like they’ve changed everything. Thanks a lot |
Etihad assessment
For all wondering about the EY assessment - from what I know - it starts with the sim assessment followed by a written test . Sim assessment can be pretty intense with one failure after the other . But nothing one hasn’t faced during a regular sim assessment.
Then the same day you will have to take a written test with multiple choice questions. ATPL type for Boeing and technical combined with ATPL knowledge questions for Airbus pilots. Some of my friends who attended found the questions very tricky. If you clear the first day then you go into the second day where there are more assessments followed by interview and group discussion. Whoever clears the second day is called for medical. Medical tests are very thorough . Hope this helps to get an idea of what to expect 🙂 |
Anyone with any info on the currebt pay package for FOs. The website just has the total package on offer.

Yes, I've heard the same its become very difficult in recent years

Hired and unsuccessful
Anybody knows someone who successfully passed the whole assessment in Etihad, and after being waiting for more than 1 month, he was notified unsucessful and not accepted?
|
They tell you everything during and after the assessment. Even if you pass the assessments it doesn’t mean you’re hired until they send you a contract. They also emphasize not to resign your current job until then. HR are clear in their instructions, they need to run your documents with the UAE government for security clearance, this is standard across most countries and airports and can take months of course. I hope that helps.
