Etihad Slowly But Surely Getting The Word Out About Abu Dhabi
Dubai, Dubai, Dubai. The Middle Eastern city on everyone's lips these days is still Dubai, despite the economic beating they're currently taking. Nonetheless, inch by inch Abu Dhabi is eeking its way up there, and Etihad Airways is majorly helping the Emirati capital to capture the world's attention.
In the last few years, Etihad has scrambled up to serving 58 destinations, with a goal of 70 worldwide by 2010. Is it a ploy for world domination or what? Our guess is that Etihad just wants to make a profit, since they haven't yet. Here's the next few routes we can expect from this growing Abu Dhabi giant:

Etihad Now Comes Complete With Women Pilots
From a region of the world not exactly renowned for recognizing women in the work force, Etihad Airways is keen to let the world know that they have just graduated their first local female pilots from their flight training program.
Etihad is based in Abu Dhabi and has only been up and running since 2003—and their pilot cadet training program has only just taken on its 100th trainee, so the female-male ratio is not too tragic, especially since they've got four more local women still in training now.

We're Dying for Diamond First Class on Etihad Airways
We could really go for some luxurious daytime napping right now, but we're going to hold out and instead drool over images of Etihad Airways' new Diamond First Class cabin. Just released this week at the Arabian Travel Market convention in Dubai, the new luxury seats from the official Emirati airline combine the comfort of a hotel with the at-hand goodies of a confined airline seat.
We're talking about more than just some snazzy striped bedding, but a Poltrona Frau "extra-large seat that extends to a fully-flat bed 80.5 inches (6' 7") in length and which is equipped with built-in massager, lumbar support and adjustable headrest, as well as power sockets for a laptop, iPod and other electronic devices." Hook us up with some of that.
