The day was very nice, we did not have a lot of theory, more practice, but of course we got to start the day off with the Quiz. First we got to do our fire fighting practice in the fire stimulator. It was really good and fun, but too bad that we got to do it only once a year :(.Later we went back to the "door" stimulator where we got to practice emergency situations with commands we'll be given and commands we'll be passing to our passengers like : "Bend down and hold your knees"- in case of emergency landing or a crash also " Seat belts-off, leave your things and come this way " and " jump and slide". We need to SCREAM those commands on top of our lungs .... pretty funny when we first did it, we made a lot of mistakes and we were saying stuff like "slide and jump" and "come your things" LOL. Almost at the end of the day we went to practice ditching ( jumping into the water from the raft, surviving in cold water and getting back on the raft). The water was FREEZING.... not kidding.... but it was just so much fun !!!! I'd love to do it again LOL.
At night me and some of my friends went out first to the restaurant called Hemingway's ( did not like it much ) and then later on we all went out to the Ocean's Club. I met few people from my batch there, so I joined them and we had a really great time dancing and hanging out. Later we changed the clubs and we went to Saks ( which is next door, on this same floor) and we stayed there the rest of the night up until about 3 at night. FUN night !!!

Hey Nikita.xx Jus want to say thank you for writing this blog it is so helpfull. I also have 1 question did you have to swim when doing the raft exercse?? or you think they will be a specific swimming test??.xx Thanks Girl.xx
Hi there and thank you for reading my blog.
This is the thing... one of Etihad's minimum requirement is that you are able to swim 25 meters without help... but... they never check it !!! So I'd say.... it might save your life if you can swim.... but in ditching exercise they do not require for you to swim, just to float with your life jacket on ... so I guess it's your choice. Hope it helps !!!
Ciao

Hi Nikita, congrats on reaching ur goal :-) and thank u for this informative blog. I also applied at Etihad.. keep u posted;-)
One question though: How much (if any) spending money did you need to take with you? What are the things you need to pay out of ur own pocket for once you arrive or rather... how soon do you get your first salary? :p
