REASONS NOT TO WORK FOR ETIHAD

If you are ready to live in a country where human rights does not exist...
If you are prepared to step into a company that will easily gash you as a used tissue… then this is it, join Etihad Airways!

But be prepared to discover how fooled you've been after wise. Because they will lie so much before your employment, promising working conditions and benefit that simply does not exist!

Be ready to experience a climate of fear and lies all the way long!
The company is not looking after employees! 
Management just doesn't care at all! 


When you live in an Etihad provided accommodation, you are not entitled to have visitors passed curfew… how do you feel having to cope with that?

You live in apartment but the place is entirely controlled and watched 24/7 by your employer who wants to know who comes in and out of your place at all times. Forget inviting friends over, they won’t be allowed to stay passed their bedtime! Forget sharing your place with your choose one, even if you’re married, management won’t allow it! Of course the rule does not apply to them or pilot… they enjoy 5 bedroom villas where they can bring their family and friends without anyone watching… That’s a non-discriminative treatment according to Etihad Airways policy… That takes us to another big scam about Etihad. They claim to apply a non-discriminative policy regarding their employees, but in fact everything from the status to accommodation is based on discrimination. 
Ask Arabic speakers crew what they think about being undiscriminated… They’ll tell you what kind of flight they get… You need to know that everyone is under a scarce discrimination process while working for Etihad. According to your nationality and whether you belong to one of the main ethnic group of people, you will find yourself in the winning or losing side…  
Want a glimpse of company rules? Have a look for yourself:
    • FA, FJ, cabin seniors and food and beverage managers are offered shared accommodation and may not have family members, spouse or partners living with them permanently.  This applies to cabin seniors who are currently in single accommodation.
    • Cabin managers are allocated one-bedroom apartments on single status only and may not have anyone living with them permanently.
    • Medical care benefits are given to the cabin crew signing the contract only and cannot be extended to any other member of their family.
    • Medical and GCAA regulations prevent cabin crew from operating on flights when pregnant and single status employment contracts do not offer any maternity benefits. As a result, crew who become pregnant are required to resign with immediate effect.

Whoever had the idea of doing this blog is completely insane! I've worked for QR and I guarantee you, that is a place to fear! Now, you must know before entering any airline that is very important to read about the country policy, the religion so that none of what you wrote is "choking"! It is a Muslim country and you have to respect that! Another thing is that you forgot that you were hired to work for them and not to have fun with your family or friends! People complain so much! Instead of thanking for the experience...you'd rather lose your time and write these things. I can't wait to start working for Etihad! Is with no doubt the best airline ever!

Hey, Anonimous,who ever you are,has the brainwashing, washed away any trace of common sense from you? Just because you gonna work for E.Y. (or u doing it already), doesn't mean you have to come with useless points of vue, especially because u have the gut to tell to some people who worked for this company, how the things really are. I can confirm u, for ten thousabds times if u need to, "the best airline in the world" is a LIE. A company based on slavery and deep denial of the truth. A company who doesn't have any respect, what's so ever,for their employees. They have any problem in throwing out people, in order to take "fresh meat", fertile brains ready for the "intoxication". I feel sorry for you,to make such a choice, i choice that myself i considered wonderful and that is paying off, now, much more expensive than all the salaries: HUMILIATION, FRUSTRATION, FATIGUE, DEPRESSION, SIGNS OF EARLY AGEING. A life experience that i am trying- unsuccesfully, for now- to forget!

Come and live the dream, discover airports all around the world! Fly for 14hrs and enjoy a 24hrs layover...if no delays prior to departure..no unions, so like some comments, if you don't like it, resign. And the good people in management end up leaving due to the pressure from the bad ones. They all having a power trip in the desert.

Does anyone know that Etihad employees muslim female cabin crew or not. I heard and read so many rumours that they don't actually employ.

Plenty of Muslim girls from Morocco , Algeria, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iran, Iraq blah blah working in EY... They need Arabic speakers on board ( only ever seen 2 Emirati girls flying- and now they are no more).. I don't really get the logic behind that rumour... 75-80% of crew are girls and they have to have Arabic speaker==..so.......there are!
PS still going anon because if EY finds you posting on a blog like this it's a sack on the spot offence...Seig Heil!!

This blog is actually the most funniest thing I came across in a long time..you are probably one of those who tried a hundred times to get in and never got any airline besides ryanair, and this one because if you have the 2000 euros to pay the course your in! I started with Ryanair, Thomson after and now Etihad and what you say here is totally insane.. I have friends and family over all the time, no one controls my life what so ever and the conditions are just amazing. Obviously you live in a Arabic country but no one hides this from you from day one..they tell you exacly what you can expect. Grow up, and stop living in wonderland Alice!

Amazing service provided by the Etihad Airways. I book this flight using Etihad Coupon codes to visit Dubai and that was an awsome trip.
