I have had the pleasure of knowing Mahmoud for more than 10 years and he has a great personality, mature, always approachable and friendly. I have also had the pleasure of working in the same Team with him and he is also a great professional to work with. He has brilliant experience in leadership and training, being always a good role model and a mentor for trainees. He always displayed knowledge and preparation, being able to maintaining flexibility and adaptation to sudden changes. He is supportive and respectful towards his peers and dynamic in the working environment. He is definitely a great asset for any Team.
Mahmoud is a great professional. I had the chance to be his trainee first, and colleague after. On both occasions he proved to be competent, reliable, caring, and fun too! (great asset in any environment, but even more important in training situations). His training skills are remarkable - he can easily switch from activator to facilitator to demonstrator according to the trainees’ needs. He has in-depth aviation knowledge, and he manages to gain the respect of his students while keeping a nice and relaxed atmosphere in the classroom. I would love to work with him again!
I met Mahmoud in 2016 while I was training as a flight attendant at Etihad Airways, and subsequently on board whilst he was working as a Cabin Senior. As a cabin crew trainer, Mahmoud is knowledgeable and approachable. Mahmoud's training and communication skills are unparalleled, and I feel immensely lucky to have been under his tutelage. I learnt so much from him and have since never witnessed such dedication to a role. As a cabin senior, Mahmoud is self-motivated, hard-working and an excellent team leader. I've flown with Mahmoud multiple times and trust his leadership and judgment absolutely. Mahmoud inspires and supports others even in high pressure situations. Mahmoud is a warm, personable, and trustworthy person. It has been a pleasure to work under Mahmoud over the years. I am confident in his skills and truly believe in him as a person. I believe Mahmoud would be an invaluable asset to any company he should work for in future, and I'm confident that he will excel in any role that he pursues.
Mahmoud. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Mahmoud for 10 years, during which I had the pleasure of working with Mahmoud. Above all, I was impressed with Mahmoud’s ability to manage multiple projects . And, of course, Mahmoud would be a true asset to any team and comes with my heartfelt recommendation.
Mahmoud has been a very much valued part-time SEP trainer with us since 2015, training, alongside his flying role. I have always found Mahmoud to be a dedicated, hardworking professional, committed to delivering training to a high standard at all times. He has been qualified to deliver SEP, AVSEC, AVH, and CRM to both cabin crew and pilots. He has also assisted numerous times in the development of training course content, all to a high standard. When Mahmoud decided to leave Etihad, he was definitely a loss to the training department. Our loss is his next company’s gain.
I have had the privilege of working with Mahmoud previously and I rarely come across real talents who stand out like him. Not only his pioneer learning & development is this main powerful muscle, Mahmoud's ability to handle a high volume of workloads simultaneously with providing the same extremely magnificent level of support. I found this to be incredibly valuable in working with him, as it allows him (and for those who work with him) the ability to explore and understand nearly all possible perspectives to an idea and its numerous applications. He is a hard worker and a value creator in the truest sense.
Mahmoud is a professional, senior learning & development specialist with the highest caliber, who meticulously researches, formats, edits, and proofs his work. He can inspire, motivate, manage and guide employees in aviation training, leadership, induct technical training, and other skills to praise his work. Mahmoud is an innovative self-independent and team player who rarely requires minimal supervision. He is punctual, typically exceeds expectations, and voluntarily works overtime to meet deadlines for outstanding results. He has a passion to solve complex product modifications, including critical detailed documentation. Mahmoud met the extremely tight deadlines, yet he still produced a stellar, accurate addendum for crating standard processes. All departments involved were impressed with Mahmoud's performance in this crunch. . This is just one example among many that demonstrate Mahmoud's superior skills and admirable work ethics

I had the pleasure to work with Mahmoud in the same team for 2 years. Mahmoud created a pleasant and calm atmosphere in class. He is approachable and has a captivating flow of speech during lectures. He has a good depth of knowledge in aviation training. He was going above and beyond of just teaching the minimum acceptable to the trainees, but was also explaining details that cannot be found in manuals, thus enhancing their knowledge and taking their understanding to a different level. As a co-trainer, Mahmoud is very easy to communicate and work alongside with. Divides lectures' time equally. Respects boundaries and does not overstep on other trainers' lectures and always asks for feedback for self-development.
