Is the Etihad Airways Cadet Programme for non nationals too?
Hello
I was pleasantly surprised to find out that in the Qualifications section I did not find any UAE Nationality requirements. See: Qualifications: Etihad is an equal opportunities employer and encourages both male and female applicants to apply. Candidates should be: • between 18-26 years old • medically fit to fly • accredited secondary school diploma or higher with proven pass grades in Physics, Mathematics and English Can someone confirm whether or not you have to be a UAE national to get accepted into this Cadet Pilot Program? Secondly whats the difference between a Cadet Pilot Scheme and an ab intio program? Lastly when you get your CPL, you barely have 300 flight hours. For the ATPL you need 1500 flight hours as far as I know. So what would Etihad do with pilots with only 300 flight hours? Does it actually pay for the hour building to 1500 hours?:eek: I apologize if this has been asked before but I am just so excited. any information about this Cadet Pilot program would be highly appreciated. |
The frozen ATPL allows you to fly right hand seat, co-pilot, first officer, whatever you wish to call it. So you'll fly the line to build the hours for the ATPL issue.

You dont need an ATPL to be a First Officer? :eek: coool...
Fancy flying a wide body jet plane right after a propeller plane.:ooh: |
Yeah, it's a global cadetship program, so applicants can be from any nationality.
And according to me, I think ab-initio is a term deriven from latin which only means the begining of something, the early stages, and an ab-initio prgram can be selfsponsored or ... but cadet I think mostly refers to a bonded term means if you begin the the future is bonded as the word is mostly used in military so you might understand that you are more limitations if you join then you have to make it. Your last query made me think of it either. But I think then will provide some kind of line training or let you fly as second officer until you gain the required hours or let's see what others think of it. |

The UAE national cadet program says that you should be between 18-30 years old. Whereas the other one says you should be between 18-26 years old. :ugh:
|
its not a global program, its only for nationals
|
Dears,
Don't worry it's global. Etihad itself and even UAE embassy has clearly stated that. It's published by reputalbe orgranizations. www.etihadairways.com/etihadairways/global/en/aboutetihad/cadetpilot.htm |
Well it doesnt talk about nationality. :{
Anyways do you think they would allow me to join if I had only about 4 months left to become 18? I could start the real aircraft training once I am 18 and do only theory stuff while I am 17? |
From what I've seen it looks like there might be two schemes, the link below has a lot more details and does not mention nationality (well, I didn't notice it as I skimmed through).

Flight international mentioned a few weeks back, that Etihad were introducing a cadet programme for non nationals. There will be more about it, in the April 8th issue.
So i think this is what they were on about:) |
I always though they would need to widen their horizons to satisfy their future pilot needs. Good news.
|
Hey Guys, Calm down and read carefully. the link I have pasted directs you to etihad website where the las two words of the descriptive paragraph jus above Eligiblity clearly says "any Nationality".
