ETIHAD AIRWAYS PILOTS| i want a luxury gorilla safari

A group of 36 Etihad Airways UAE national cadet pilots have started a specialised aviation training program in Dublin, Ireland.
The program, at College Ireland Aviation Services in Weston Airport, will provide aviation-focused English language training to 36 cadet pilots. During the three month course the cadet pilots will also be living with Irish host families.
The cadet pilots were welcomed to Ireland on Friday 26 September by Minister for Justice and Equality, Francis Fitzgerald TD; Second Secretary of UAE embassy in Ireland, Mohamed Al Shamsi; and Brian Joyce, Executive Chairman of College Ireland Aviation Services.
Ray Gammell, Etihad Airways’ Chief People and Performance Officer, said: “Etihad Airways continually identifies world class training and education opportunities to develop our aviation professionals. This partnership with College Ireland Aviation Services will help to grow and empower our Emirati cadet pilots who will play an important role in our business.”
Ireland Ambassador to the UAE, Patrick Hennessy, said: “I warmly welcome the new program launched by Etihad Airways and College Ireland in the framework of their strategic partnership.
College Ireland Aviation Services teachers are qualified as aviation professionals and English language teachers, giving them the ideal expertise to support the cadet pilots’ understanding of aviation terminology.
As part of the program cadet pilots will enhance their language skills for real-life flying situations including abnormal and emergency scenarios.
The cadet pilots will undertake aviation-specific subject modules, such as dangerous goods training. At the end of the program they will take internationally recognised aviation language exams.
Since the launch of Etihad Airways’ graduate programs, more than 1,000 people have joined the airline and are now deployed in positions across the airline.
UAE nationals are the largest nationality in Etihad Airways with 1,680 currently employed across the airline.
