NEW: Etihad Cadet Pilot Scheme

[C]

I saw this in Flight International today in a local newsagent, and it seems to be causing quite a stir at Prune.

Etihad of the UAE have announced a new cadet pilot scheme, which unlike others, and their own previous scheme, is open to foreign nationals.

So, for anyone considering a career in the airlines, and wanting to live a little differently yet fly immediately for one of the worlds growing carriers once qualified, this may be worth a look.

I'll stick this on the sticky when I find a mod to unlock it for me.

Not only that but looking at their requirements they dont need the usual university qualifications.
I think I might put in an application. Cant hurt to try.

Big Airbus stuff...

From well informed sources i know that the passenger service is quite good

A little research into this, shows its not quite as good as it seems.
I know they never are.
But the pay considering the region and airline is absolutly horrendous.

Don't worry Craig, as soon as those stripes appear on your epaulets you can go and pull a 30 year old businesswoman who earns 10 times that.
And live like a King.  ;D  ;D
