Next year will see the delivery of 6-7 320/321, one additional 330F Airbus, 6 or so 777's, the long awaited 380, and the first of 41 787 deliveries.


Company Provided accomodation are 2 or 3 bedroom apartments in various buildings around the city. They are generally good quality, but the locations vary greatly. Alternately, a housing allowance is available if you wish to find you own rental house/villa/apartment within the emirate of Abu Dhabi. Depending on your needs and where you desire to live, the amount ranges from more than enough to barely ample, but if you use the standard of a 2 bedroom apartment, the allowance will cover most high end buildings.
Remove, thanks for info, it is much appreciated. I am single so I am assuming if I was to be selected I would get a 2 bedroom apartment? Also, I am slotted to go to airbus training soon and I believe my company's training results in an A320 type rating 'with SIC privileges only.' As long as I am current and have 500 hours on the aircraft do you think that would meet EY's requirements or do they require the full unrestricted type. I do have an unrestricted ATPL without the circling restriction.

Thanks again to anyone with any insight.
