Flight crew are generally based in Abu Dhabi. Etihad does not publicly advertise a standard commuting arrangement, so applicants should expect to relocate or maintain a reliable Abu Dhabi base in line with roster requirements.

Applications are submitted online for the relevant EFA intake, followed by document and eligibility checks. Invitations, available training places and waiting times depend on the intake and capacity. Applicants should apply early and use the current invitation information for deadlines, medical requirements and required documents.

After the application stage, candidates complete the DLR Certificate Cockpit at DLR locations in Milan, Hamburg or Zurich; the test can be taken in German or English. Successful candidates proceed to the one-day LHG Assessment at Interpersonal in Hamburg or the SWISS Flight Crew Assessment Center in Zurich. It covers interviews, group exercises, personality-related assessment and psychomotor tasks. Hamburg uses MOZARD and the Multitasking Color Tank Test; Zurich uses the Apparatus Test (Gubsomat).

It is a computer-based aptitude assessment covering areas such as numerical and logical reasoning, memory, concentration, spatial reasoning and multitasking. Passing alone does not guarantee progression: Condor considers an above-average IP-BQ result together with the full application documents before inviting candidates to the next stage.
