AND GOOD LUCK.
Secondley,I would be more happy if they were a mixed ethnics of Ethiopians.
But now,accourding to the picture faces,that all the new graduates were from one ethnic and this is the prove of that exsisting the unfairly hairing among Ethiopians ethnics.
Thefore the justice and eqaulity for the Ethiopiawent is in fact that still missing in Ethiopia.That's really sad! its sad and of course its the roots that causing the Ethiopia's enternal conflects and yet the unresting continuos problems
in Ethiopia.
I don't know of where it leads us such imbalance treats and ruling among Ethiopians.
Finally,to EAL adminsretors,please be adviced that,its more profiting if you at least hire for local Ogaden routes a few native Somali Ogaden as service crew and Airline hosts.
Also,this will improves the services and the relationship btw the airline and her custormer local Ogadanis.I mean the locals will feel its(EAL) their airline and that would be a proud of her plus its the betterments of the general servicing dutiy and it generates more profits as well,its at least the help of the Airline image which now that looks a one ethnic dominations.It's in fact a one Ethnic dominated Airline now,its a woyane airline and not an Ethiopian airline.
Also,as one time suggested that my friend,the Price of Shawoa,he said that,it will be helpfuls if EAL hired some somali speakers as long as it has many routes in Ogaden region and in Somalia.like Hargeysa,Bossaso and Djabuti.
What do you know about the two year driver programme? I know for fact,a person of your tiny brain will never have what it takes to take on the huge responsibility that comes with driving people on air. as the saying goes,"flying is not for sissies". Could it be jealousy that gets you talking smack?? I bet you with all I have that these graduates will have the most rewarding life, more than you can imagine, a life people of your kind will never be able to have.
Save your response.
keep recruting more and more ETHIOPIANS
Don't get me wrong I like to hear success stories about ETHIOPIAN specially coming from other sources not the airlines own website. anyone can go to the website and read the PR statements every day.
Come to think of it Ethiopia is not only EAL.
you really need eye glass noumber 3oo how can you tell this people are Oromo, Tgriay or Amhira I know their is no somali or ogden region person but this people not one ethnic group. You should know why their is no somali or Ogden region people in the picture b/c
We don't want Ethiopian air line to train high jaker that's why you not going to see no somali or Ogden people because no body trust you. Most of you people are part time Ethiopian and part time Somalian we know it.

I was laughing when I see the topic to, like you said nazret .com is obsessed of ethiopian air line. They look like they are going to become Ethiopian air line web not free web.
and to the editor,the company trained them,not hiring directly.
thanks.
You don't know that we have the administration and security responsibility of all airlines that arrive and takeoffs in our Ogaden Somali state local and international airports.
Fore example,who are the authority that responsible right now the two busy Air ports of Jigjiga and Gode plus other smaller airports throughout in the Somali state?
Ms Helen please go and visit,you might not believe me that we are the the ones who are running the show.Not only the airports alone but in everywhere of the Somali state our boys of Somali Ogadenis are the authority who have the full controlling of their local governments.So pls go and visit Ogaden region,I bet that you will paralyzed for the shocks when you see Jijiga and have no any different than Mogadishu or Hargeys.Today there is no Habasha highlanders in Our local affairs except those in business or in there pleasures visitors,there is no Habasha dictates our local affairs.All day you can't here a one single word of Habasha lagauges either Tigray or Ahmaric.I mean local official language is the Somali our mother tongue.
Although that we are all Ethiopians and have the rights to live anywhere in the country but again its beautiful to stay in that federations and that each ethnic have the rights to administer there local affairs.
Its that basically the same if I want to live in Gojjam,Gonder or makele.
Yes,there are difficulties in Ogaden region like many places in the country,but honestly there is all Somalis who are in charge in our Somali state.So coming to your point,I think you don't have any clue of what I asked the EAL,and that you are forgetting when it arrives in either Ogaden Airports,the Somalis are those in charges of her security plus we are the 90% passenger of the customer in that bussy routes,so I asked EAL its not fair that not to hire a single from the Somali state?
