Questions/Answers - EK/EY - Cabin Crew

What happens during the ditching exam during the Etihad training?
A lot of people think we have to swim back and forth 200m or whatever it is, but thats not the case.....first off check these pictures to see what it looks like during a etihad ditching exam, so u get a picture of how it is.....
at all times we had life vests on, and we had comfy clothes on, example yoga pants and shirts, long or short sleeve we choose ourselves. we did few group exercises example swim in groups round and hold your knees up and than we had one exercise where we had to swim to the raft we had, and over there we had to help each other climb over the raft ect...so its stuff like this ect....than we did some stuff in the raft as well...it is more of doing things in teams...showing them team work....and be prepared in case something happens so we know what to do........
Should i declare my tattoo?
i get tons of questions regarding this, myself have tattoos, at that time when i applied to etihad and did the recruitment process, i never declared my tattoos, most of them arnt visible while wearing the uniform....one of my tattoos was perhaps borderline to visible, but still i didnt declare it. if the tattoos are in places where its not visible than i think why declare it...when no one will ever see it anyway....if the tattoo is tiny ect, than it can be covered with makeup...derma color makeup i heard is good...i have flown with so many etihad crew who had tattoos...i even once flew with a crew who had a wrist tattoo done on that layover..she covered it under her watch..and with makeup...
What's the difference between Emirates and Etihad?
i have tons of friends of work with emirates....so i have gathered few info from them...what i have found is the biggest differences is ....emirates only give travelling benefits to family members only...when with etihad u can give 10 friends discount tickets as well ′+ travelling benefits for family too... emirates has a lot of 24hours layovers...perhaps few longer layovers but mostly there layover hours are only 24hrs.....etihad have a mix of layover hours...everything from 17hrs to 72hours...ex once i had a milan layover that was 42 hours....once i had a london layover which was 18hrs.....the salaries is pretty much the same....at the end of the day it is the same.....i kind of have the impression that emirates is not that strict as etihad...while etihad might not be that strict but still a bit of strict....i have that impression from what others have told me that work in emirates....emirates have more destinations than etihad though...everything else is pretty much similar....of course there might be more differences but the stuff that comes to my mind are these....
Is there a typical look you have to have to get these cabin crew jobs with ey/ek?
Not really....everyone can join etihad/emirates...there is no typical look really....seriously anyone can join...and try this.....i have came across every kind of look in this type of jobs......
What colour of lipstick should i use during the recruitment days?
i highly recommend red lipstick....the brand i use is MAC, either russian red, or mac red...as long as its not orange ect....having red lipstick creates the cabin crew vision so the recruiters have it easier seeing u as a cabin crew already during those days....so having red lipstick helps and adds the sparkle....
What was the salary with etihad?
1400euros to 2200 euros/ month....depending on our roster.....example if i had tons of European layovers my salary would be higher...example if i had tons of asian trips where the currency might be lower compared to the euro n Europe my salary would be less...than depending on the layover hours....ect ect.....
Any tips to improve my resume to have more chances to score a cc job with ek/ey?
try to write your resume in a customer service way..... than keep it short and simple....
+ i recommend u reading these links on how to improve your resume further...
What job experience is best to have when applying for cabin crew?
anything related to customer service, any job where u face customers/passengers/guests....example of perfect jobs would be hotel front desk, restaurant jobs...cafés, grocery stores, travel guide, shops, call centers ect.....any jobs where u deal with people...and people come to u for help....people come to u to complain lol...jobs where u work in teams...jobs where u are in the front line so to speak.......as a cabin crew this is all u do!!!
Is the English test difficult during the Etihad assessment?
not really, it was a basic test, example of the stuff we did on the eng test were these:
1st part we had to read this letter and there was questions about the letter
2nd part was a text with missing words we had to fill in…
3rd part we had to do opposite words …like light-dark ect ect
4th part was we had to fill in missing words again…
5th part was a text we had to read and it was questions about it..
most of these had multiple answers…
When did you receive the successful email/ golden call after your final interview with Etihad?
10 days after my final interview i got the successful email.....4 days after that successful email i got my golden call....so it was pretty quick process....although its different from candidate to candidate....for some of my friends it took them 2 weeks to get the successful email..and for some it even took them 4 days to get the successful email ect ect...after the final interview your application goes through various departments in HR to get approved.....so in each department there is various timings...depending on who deal with your application ect ect......
How long was the whole process for you with etihad until date of join?
after the final interview it took me exact 1 month....from final interview to date of join....i would say for most it might take 1-2 months from final interview to date of join....its pretty quick the process with etihad compared to emirates that takes 4-5 months....to join......but again it can be different for each applicant.........
Do Etihad check references?
50 they do....they dont have time do call every single reference.....so its king of 50-50....they never called my references....in my batch i think they did reference check for 3 people....so we should still be prepared of them calling.....but know that they might not be able to call everyone......
Whats the secret to score these ek/ey cc jobs?
in all my years dealing with these recruitment days, both with emirates, qatar, even british airways.... and of course etihad....i kind of feel its Luck, chances, destiny, timing that plays a big part....some of u guys might not believe in these stuff...but i do......i have seen perfect candidates get rejected...while someone who didnt even have any job experiences got the job....or didnt even speak proper eng got the job ect ect......when i did emirates and etihad i were the same....had the same resume..wore the same clothes...acted the same way....but i got the job with etihad and not emirates....i have done emirates 6 times now...and i think i did qatar open days assessment 3 times...british airways once...than etihad once......sometimes i felt its a lottery....either we win or lose....i feel if the timing is right....you get the job....seriously its still a mystery to me......who they choose....ect......i also think there is this ratio the companies have....and if u fall into this ratio at that exact time ur lucky to get the job......ect ect.....this is my personal opinion on this.................
How should my hair be during the recruitment process?
in a neat bun 100% that look more professional...if u can do a French twist than thats even better....but a bun would be ok....if u cant do a bun or a French twist than a pony tail would be ok...
What should i wear during the recruitment process?
a black suit, white shirt, black knee length skirt, skin colored stocking, black court shoes, no open toe shoes, black bag, pearl or diamond earrings...thats it.. no scarf around the neck.....
I dont have any reference letters/references what shall i do?
there is always ways of finding people/friends who can help you with this.....i wont be able to discuss this further but i think u might know what i mean....
Whats the max age when applying for Etihad/Emirates?
as far as i know, the max age with etihad is 36 years old, and with emirates 35 years old...at the time of applying....u still can work in the company after 35+ years......u just have to be these ages at the time of application....
Do Etihad/Emirates recruits only experienced Cabin Crew?
not at all, i even think not having any experience at all of this role can benefit u even more.....
How many will get selected after final interviews?
they might say during open day that they can hire everyone in this room....but they have a ratio at the end of the day and cant hire everyone....so it all depends on the ratio they have....during my etihad final interview we were 9 people...during my emirates final interview we were 7 people....it varies a lot........
Do you think i can have a career with Etihad/Emirates?
100% why not....lets say u start as a cabin crew in economy..u can get promoted to business class and first class...u can apply to work as cabin senior...and cabin manager...if u want u can work in HR in the office ect ect.....there is so many departments in these companies..that u have a chance to do and develop and be a part of....so there is always new doors in these companies that will open for u once u get ur foot in the door.....i know a friend who worked with emirates as cabin crew for few years, than she went to business class, later she went to HR department and is now working as a recruiter, so she has been in the company for 8 years i think....so there is always ways.......of improving....
Any tips for the assessment day/group group exercises?
what i have noticed is among those who were with me on my final interview with emirates and etihad was those who were the most quiet once....got through....those who didnt take much room.....those who listened...i dont think these companies like people who talk too much or ask too much....they dont like people who likes to be in control or being the center of attention...those who wont allow others to talk ect......i think you should only talk if asked a question directly to u....during the open day the recruiters will ask questions, i wouldnt raise my hand and answer....sometimes we might ruin our chances if we talk too much or the recruiters might get the wrong impression of u so early in the process.....during the group exercises its important that u show a sense of team work...and that ur someone who listens....and act in a professional way.....words to say during presentations or group trainings would be ′′ I UNDERSTAND, THATS A GOOD IDEA, WHAT DO YOU THINK, CAN YOU ELOBORATE PLEASE....than doing the presentations and if u have the word say words like: WE AS GROUP THOUGHT THAT....MY GROUP AND I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION TO, OUR TEAM....ect ect....so it wont be ′′ i think, i did,,i said...its all about group work and team work.....and pay attention to your posture and how u sit walk and talk...smile always..but make it a genuine smile....
Would i pass the reach test if im 160cm/5′3?
yes 100% , i passed both the emirates reach test and etihad, and im 160cm/5′3...i even know 2 friends in etihad who were 157cm and could pass in etihad.....but i dont know if u can pass in emirates with being 157cm......its all about stretching and being flexible....do some swimming before the open day if u can....swimming helps to stretch out the whole body.......
How is it to live in Abu Dhabi?
personally i loved it with all my heart, im used to travelling and used to different cultures and i loved it even if abu dhabi is a small city...its a charming city...and dubai is only 1h and 20min away so we used to go to dubai often....than even if u got bored u were flying somewhere in the world anyway....but i did enjoy the life in abu dhabi...u live in a safe city, with modern accommodation, and u have this comfy lifestyle...discounts almost everywhere in the town......
Was the training with Etihad difficult?
i think to many it might not be....but to me it was difficult cause its difficult for me to concentrate and study and i dont like to study....but all in all its pretty easy i would say for many....most of the exams we had ...had multiple choice...and if u didnt pass once u could do it again....
Can i save money with this salary they give you?
100%, i used to spend half and save half....the salary is great actually....but everyone are different, someone might not be able to save...and some might.....so its all up to u...but u do have the chance to save 100%
How much pocket money did you bring to Abu Dhabi with you?
around 1700euros i brought with me, just in case, add than the meal allowance etihad gave us the first week, than we got paid training too...1700euro i took with me was more than enough....i bet people could do 1100euros too.......
How fast can you get promoted to business class/first class with Etihad/Emirates?
for very few it took them 1,5 years to get promoted....i think those had zero sick days the first year,,,,,for many/most crew i think after 2 years u get promoted....in emirates i heard its after 22 months u get promoted to business...if u have good reviews from ur performance manager and not many sick days ect ect....
Do the recruiters look at whether the applicant has a straight set of teeth and good vision?
...but as long as u have a nice smile....the recruiters dont check the vision during the recruitment days...but a nice simle includes u having ok teeth..but they dont have to be 100% straight...as mine were not 100% straight......
Can crew wear eye glasses or eye contacts in etihad?
Yes, but save every paper ur eye doctor give u cause from ur home country, u need to show this to the doctors in Abu dhabi.... the eye wear has to be proved by the grooming manager though.....cause the crew cant have every eye glasses they want in whatever colors...it has to fit the uniform ect....crew use contact lenses too....
What kind of watches can we used on board as crew?
example of watches that are approved and ur allowed to wear are black simple small watches..... here is few examples:
I have braces, should I wait to get them off before applying?
yes, these companies dont hire people with braces, i know people who even did open days with braces and didnt pass....so better to wait and when they are off...than ur set to go
What cities is best to attend open days with emirates?
of course those cities that doesnt have 1000 people showing up.....than u have more chances to stand out.....Scandinavia is good places...to do open days actually...as not many attend those open days.....here is a list of the places i have done emirates open days and how many people showed up:
Oslo: 25 people
Dublin: 120 people
Stockholm: 50 poeple
Barcelona: 80 people
Copenhagen: 60 people
Athens: 250 people
so u get a idea...it also depends on the season i think...ex in barcelona i expected way more people to show up...but only 80 people came...i did this one rainy fall day...lol so perhaps not many people came than....but overall i think if its ur time to get this job and success it doesnt matter where u go.....i know a girl who did her emirates open day in china.....she was 1 in 600 people show did the emirates open day...oh my god i say......she than made it to the assessment day, she was than 1 in 30 people who made it to the assessment....later...she was 1 in 10 who made it to the final interview......finally she became 1 in 6 people who got the emirates job....imagine from 600 people being chosen....how cool is that......so to me this shows that being there at the right timing and if its meant to be...it doesnt matter really where we do open days.........ect........
How should you look in passport photos for the applications?
like this but with red lipstick and hair up and a big warm smile:

Do i have to register to attend a open day?

no not always, but read first and see what rules it have...but most often everyone can attend a open day with ek/ey without registration....open day is a open day where everyone can come.....without registrations.....

What goes on during the etihad medical exam days?

we did stuff like blood tests, vision test, hearing test, 2 vaccines, info, weight check, chest x ray, normal check up and urine test...we went to 2 clinics...1 was etihad medical clinic...the 2nd was a local hospital where they took our blood ect....
here u can view a pre-employment medical form,,,which is for emirates..but it is similar to etihad too...as both are under the same government....here u can view what health stuff they will look....

Can i wear pants to the open day/assessment with etihad/emirates as i dont like wearing skirt?

a big no no on pants for recruitment days with ek/ey, the recruiters like to see everyone with skirts, having pants on would be suspicious, like they might think is she hiding tattoos or scars? for female so to speak....for men of course its different they have to wear pants lollll


I only speak English, do we have to know a 2nd language too?

no need to speak a 2nd language, being able to read, write speak english fluently is all the want....of course being able to speak other languages is good too...but no need for that if u dont speak a 2nd language....

Is Abu Dhabi a safe city?

it was the safest city i ever been to in my life, i felt so safe at nights and wherever i went to, they have zero tolerant for many stuff there....hands down abu dhabi/ dubai is the most safest places i ever lived in.......or been to.....

My teeth arnt that white, do you think i should do teeth whitening? How important is it to have super white teeth?

having a warm smile is important, having healthy teeth are important too cause u will smile so much in this job.... but no need to do teeth whitening, but if u can/want do it, why not.....

What goes on during a Etihad pre-flight briefing?
The team gathers around this table, first we present ourselves our names, where we come from and what languages we speak, than we have the cabin manager asking each crew 1 safety/aviation health question, we discuss the flight, anything special that will go on, we than get to read what our position will be on board the aircraft ect, than the captain and the first officer comes in after few minutes and they inform us about some info ect....than we all go together...to take the crew bus to the airplane....
I have a scar on my arm, should i declare it?

i had a scar on my eye brow and on my hand, but it was tiny, i didnt declared it...if its not visible...and if its tiny and no one would notice...no need to declare it....if its a big scar from some surgery perhaps, that would be visible perhaps than its wise to declare this.....



Does it happen that the cabin crews hang out with each other no layovers example for dinner or something?

Yes totally, everything we would arrive to the hotels in whatever city, we all would talk if anyone would be up for dinner/lunch or go sightsee ect, so we would decide a time at the lobby of the hotel so whoever was up for whatever activities could join....

Did you have time to sightsee in various cities?

depending on the layover hours, example we have few layover hours in london which is 18 hours..only...and on those flights/layovers, most crew might be tired, and there is a quick flight back so we might stay inside the hotel and wont go out and explore.....but it all depends on each crew, some might have energy to go out ect....for me if i had already been to that city already and i had a 18h layover i wouldnt go out....its important to recharge our energies....but if i went to a new city i never been to and i had 18hours i might would have gone out.....but i dont mean london only have 18hours layovers...we had 18hours, 24hours, 42hours....

What was the best part about being a cabin crew?

well for me it was the change in me, how much i grew, and having the chance to fulfil my dream, travel the world....the comfy lifestyle....sleep in fancy hotels was fun...and getting to know amazing people from all walks in life...learn new things about the country and culture ect....it truly was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me...still up to this date i havnt done anything as amazing as this.......

Do you always work with the same team or different sets of crew?

Etihad/Emirates are large companies with 5000+ crew...so  most of the time i would fly with different crew all the time...it would happen i would be lucky to fly with my friends or my batchmates....or perhaps fly once again with a crew i flew previously with but the chances are very low though.....both positive and negative with this kind of shift....funny though that whenever u flew with different crew you had to introduce urself all over again to new crew and get to know new crew....

Do you really have to memorize every airport code to pass any exams during the training?

Not at all, it would be useful to know them, but i dont even think any airport codes came on any exams...but no there was no exam on airport codes.....and still to this date i have no idea about the airport codes heheh and couldnt even memorize them heheheeh

If you had to choose between Etihad and Emirates which airline would u chose to work for?

I loved working for Etihad, but i would chose Emirates as it once was my dreamy first choice :-)....if someone would ask me, emirates would be my choice of airline!!!!

Is it worth spending money on cabin crew courses?

Not really cause each airline will train you from zero anyway, and etihad emirates will even pay u during the training......but if you want to take a cabin crew course.... think its fun i think you should do it to gain some knowledge on this area and prepare yourself perhaps ect...but it doesnt make your chances higher to score etihad or emirates though.....



On your days off if you wanted to fly off to some destination did you have to report this to someone or could you just fly off to wherever you wanted on days off in Abu Dhabi?

thankfully etihad and emirates isnt that strict that we had to report and sign a paper to say where we were going or what we did on our days off...so you could fly off wherever you wanted on your days off....ex if i had 5 days off i would fly back home.....so u have more chances to see ur family friends beside those 30 vacation days leave you have.....



Can you change accommodation if you didnt like your roommates or for other reasons?

this can only be done after 6 months probation time, so its doable, and a lot of crew actually do this.......




I heard you guys have free uniform dry cleaning is it true?

Yes its true, the company pay for this, its all free for crew,



Do you have to be single to join etihad/emirates?

I dont know much about this topic but i heard they prefer single candidates over married candidates....BUT even if they prefer single candidates i think its totally ok to be married too....i remember some of my etihad batchmates were married but they had written they were single in their applications.....so i might not know too much about this.....


Will each accommodation have internet?

It depends on when u arrive to ur accommodation if ur the first person to arrive...or if ur roommates already have lived there before....if u already have roommates living there than they have set up the internet and u guys will share the cost....if ur the first person to arrive to the place...u have to be the one to set up urself...u have to go to the mall or the internet stores to fix this...they need a copy of ur passport as well.....


To set up a bank account will etihad/emirates help us with this?

in etihad they helped us set up our uae bank account cause there was this bank in the training academy, in emirates i bet they will help u guys too, but not sure about that 100%


What does the welcome package include upon arrival to Abu Dhabi with etihad?

there is this huge box in ur room waiting for u...filled with goodies hehehehe, there is everything for ur bed, towels, kitchen stuff, sheets, pillows, whatever u can think of....so u dont really have to bring much to abu dhabi.....just ur personal own stuff....also the previous crew who lived there before u left probably stuff she didnt take with her home....like kitches stuff...extra pots and pans ect ect......


Were there something you recommend me to take with me to Abu Dhabi?

Something i forgot to bring with me, was tons of stockings, tons of hair pins, hair buns, and hair ribbons....cause their stuff were hard to find at that time when i joined and the accommodation i had was a bit away from the city center....so it was difficult for me to go to the city and find these stuff....i had to make time to study and other stuff......

Do you have to have a university degree to land a job like this?

Not at all, as long as you can swim, finished high school, have good health, be able to reach certain cms, be fluent in written and spoken English, and be willing to relocate ect....thats it to be honest.....
