Wow wow..your eyes very sharp
They hired female pilot as well?She's cute!
Seems that SilverFly is not down the drain after all yah.
Any info on the fleet?
-
Flew on the new 738 last night (LGK - KUL). It was Impressive. Mind if i ask, the in- flight entertainment system is not meant for short haul route is it?

Thank you there, Wilco.

I would suggest u to go, but just ensure the company u'll be joining is fully recognised by authorities and preferably big,popular company.. No point going so far/risky by flying people with kambing in remote area,operate from un-ATC airstrip flying jurassic aircraft...
Of Course the particular company has its own recognition among the airlines. Its just that the thinking and impressions of these peoples about Airlines in indonesia is bad in the first place. Kinda difficult to convince them....
-
Now that I'm making up my mind to go for indonesian airline, there are few people out there giving me negatives responses of not to go there due to safety issues over there mainly. What do you people think? How do you convince those people regarding this? Help please. thanks.

When MH were in charge of the Rural Air Services (RAS) in Sarawak & Sabah, how did they choose the pilots for this ? I'm quite sure not many ambitious pilots would take to flying the Fokker 50 or Twin Otters.
And being from the area, I've had to use the F27's & F50's for 20 years now
so just curious about how thing worked before (and maybe now with the ATR ? ) The Fokker captains were usually at least 40+ and not mainly Malaysians (Japanese,Philippines,Dutch etc) but First Officers were always young Malaysians. Not quite sure about the Otters though since I'm seldom on them ...
I believes the pilots are inducted through MAS Cadet Pilot Programme and are distributed to the main fleet and MasWing thereafter. Some are inducted through Direct-Entry programme by MasWing itself.

Give it a shot, more opportunities coming in in the years to come. Its either gamble or tremble.... =)

Mohd, absolutely nothing wrong with that! Using analogue instruments when IMC is the only way to learn how to fly on instruments. How many in the Diamond with the glass cockpit can enter and fly a hold using an RMI/RBI and a stopwatch.... not many I'll bet.
I trained for my PPL in a PA28 and moved onto an Aztech (PA27) a very stable aircraft, a bit ponderous but I managed over a 1000 hours in one. I then moved onto the Navajo (PA31-350) and flew for a small outfit back in the UK.
Good luck with your career.
Wow! Great experiences you got there! 1000hours in that type huh? are you working for some charter or so? For me, got my PPL in PA28 and now im with PA34-220. They are aged, but they are still a great thing to fly and love them so much! hehe...thanks mate!
My view is if you gotta pay something for further training, I'll pay for AFI course and clock up the hours that way. I think an airline is more willing to take a pilot with hours and instructor rating rather than type rating with insufficient hours. I've also heard a lot from my flying instructor friends that their flying improved so much more once they are instructors. The risk with pay-yourself-for-the-type-rating is that there is still no guarantee that you'll get a job after sinking so much $$$ into it. Though no guarantee with AFI as well, but I think the chances are better, together with your hours up. I am also looking for an AFI course and I may even make flight instructing a long-term career rather than being a computer / machine operator.
I thought of that too but...That particular pay-yourself-for-the-type-rating I meant was the one in Indonesia where it is said that a job is GUARANTEED for you?! So I was thinking, if I got the money, why not invest to something that promises you a career and what important here is the hours collected thereafter.
Regarding the AFI course, I think Asia Pacific Flight Training in Kelantan might be looking for some. I heard they just bought 10 new PA28s for that matter. You might want to try it over there but many are reluctant to work there just because of, i dont know, they said there no life there. But i guess its all on ones point of view right? Good Luck man!

Once I graduate from the academy I'll be having 165 hours in single engine & 35hours of twin ( including 10 hours sim ) and thats it. And there's no multi- crew experience there except that we are trained for multi crew environment. With our current aviation condition, I know that I cant afford to be choosy in making out for the job and that is why I am trying to pull out every possibility and chances that is there for me as earliest as possible.
Im a private cadet and there's a heck of a loan to pay regardless of whether or not I managed to secure a job later. Personally I agree with you regarding the airbus thing but then again, cant be choosy though.... If its gotta be "computer manager" for me, then I guess I'll just stick with the flow. I do love boeing personally, even 747 arouses me more than the fat 380...
here in my academy, we are still using old piper aircrafts which mean all that we have is analogue compared to those school having Diamonds for their training with the glass cockpit and GPS. We go for nav at 2000ft where we can maintain visual with the terrain whilst those guys climb to almost 10000ft into the clouds and can happily navigate with their instruments ( although not so computer-managed)but still...
All I got in mind right now is to finish this course ASAP then start hunting for the job. My thoughts are:
1. Direct Entry ( Local Airlines -FY,AK,MH, Maswing, Berjaya Air???)
2. Direct Entry ( Via Pay- yourself- for-the-type-rating) maybe Indonesia, that is why Im trying to make it clear here
3. AFI ( Well, this is my final resort. If I have to start my career this way then, I guess I'll do it.

Thats what it seems to be for the next FEW years...true, but can't wait for the FEW years to come by without doing nothing...Or maybe hopefully those FEW years will start next year itself. finger crossed.

Indonesia is listed! Great! Thanks!
Getting a job is the highest priority of all rather than be choosy and end up jobless.
Yes, safety is an issue in Indonesia ......... it is a fact ..... however, you have to ask yourself whether you are prepared to face the challenges or would rather follow the flow and become one of them?
If I am in the same shoe, I would accept any 'reasonable' offer (e.g B737NG/Airbus ratings, reasonable salary), get the type rating, clock as many hours as possible, fulfill your contract obligation and leave to a greener field.
Whether in Indonesia, Malaysia or Siberia, flying hours are still flying hours as long as your logbook is certified by an appropriate authority.
Exactly what I am looking for. Yup, getting the job is the highest priority indeed. WILCO, thanks!

Indonesian safety issues are different to recognition of logged hours; all your hours logged in a ICAO recognized country should be recognized by all airlines...therefore, many Malaysian pilots now fly in the UAE or Aussie pilots in HKG or French pilots in Viet Nam...
I see... Is Indonesia an ICAO recognized country then? I could see(and hear) that some of AK and MH pilots are indeed indonesian though... Is your previous company would be an issue if you are to go to another company in the future? I mean, yeah I heard UAE loves Malaysian pilots...but would they love Indonesian pilots too? Maybe this is too early for me but, I think its good to know before you proceed rather than going in blind right? thanks.
Your concern is quite universal for most people making transition from academia to the real world
And I see a new term has been spawned, "draduate"; the dread to graduate ?
The transition is kinda....scary...that "draduate" was a typo but its such a beautiful coincidence isn't it? lol =)

Hi there everyone.
Im going to make it simple straight forward here. I'm a cadet pilot(private)of a local flying school here. About to graduate in 2 more weeks.
I'm very worried of not able to secure a job thereafter with our current aviation state. I'm aware that the big names like FY, AK, and even MAS are expanding their fleets as we speaking but to me the competition is very stiff.
Whilst giving a shot on direct intakes and what not, I was told by a friend that we ( the fresh grads) can opt to go to Indonesia, for type rating(on our own expense) and a job is guaranteed for us there. With B737 rating offered there and seeing that the opportunity is there, I was thinking, why not??
BUT, a big doubt here is...Well we all know that Indonesia got some safety issues on their aviation line...SO, I am wondering whether the HOURS I clocked flying there are going to be recognized by other airlines(outside Indo)if I am to hoop on later on?
Been trying to find the answer quite some time... Seem Most of you here are old-timer in this industry, I was thinking you guys might want to give a hand to this poor kid trying to dig some hole searching for a light for the sake of his future.... Thanks! =)

PERDANAs used to fly to WMKM(Melaka) few times this year-maybe for training or "rehearsal flight" i guess. Seen them quite a number of time. =)

Hello,
I would like to know what are the exact requirements to "unfreeze" Malaysian's Frozen ATPL licence? I heard that you need atleast 1500 flying hours. Does it restricted to types of aircrafts? MTOW? Is it applicable to JET-ENGINED Aircrafts only? Or maybe something else?
I am graduating from a local FA here in few months coming. Kinda worry with current bottleneck of job opportunities... So I hope you people could help clarify this as it might helps me in planning my future. Thanks in advance.

wow nice!!! and urmm, whats up with the pale ?_?
-
better be fast... Its nice to see other airlines operate here rather than Riau airline only... =)
-
New airline...hopefully they will need new pilots...
-
try apply Firefly,Berjaya air or even LAYANG-LAYANG..although it's look like a "skyvan" but bright side is you have the job.
not forget...MasWings!!
Thank God
Try out MasWings and Firefly.
I know for sure MasWings do need captains for the ATR, but not sure about copilots. Then again with the many pilots graduating, they can afford to be choosy.
Maybe because the airlines prefer to screen and select the people they want to be their cadets rather than the Flying school screening and selects for them. Butseriously, at this moment, there's a surplus of pilots all over the world not only Malaysia Simple calculation, 4 flying schools vs 2 major airlines dont add up. Also, the GA or corporate flying scene in Malaysia arent emplyoying many pilots.
thanks guys... once i grad from my training, i will surely apply for all airlines and air transport companies available...or i shall i start from now itself?i've passed all my ground papers already... this is tough... But is it true that you cant switch to MAS 737 fleet if you are in Firefly or MasWing?
-
AirAsia are taking many guys who already have type rating , most of which Are the " Ex-MAS jump to EK / EY " gang .
They are not too interested in investing in fresh guys , they want guys who can fly in a month
hmm...seems so...sometimes i wonder, why the airlines want to have thier own cadets when the got plenty of private cadet waiting to be picked up...
btw i heard air asia have this type rating course or somthing which is open for any fresh grads with fee of 70k plus...some say it can add up your advantage to get u selected by the airlines if u go for it...air asia atleast...
-
its WAYYY TOO MANY now...hundreds graduating every year...this is so sad...Hanx whats your plan?
by the way,SIA doesnt take any direct intake do they?
-
Think on the bright side - airline starts hiring, AFI applies and gets recruited by airline, AFI positions become available, and then there's a job for you (as AFI)! And then the cycle starts again. The old batch leaves, the new ones steps up, and so on and so forth.
its true but thats gonna take some time...even AFIs didnt manage to get job from any airlines....
-
I have a friend who did private, one and a half year already still no job.
yea man..that is what im afraid off...1 year plus still no job means GG....your flying rusted, your knowledge,if not well "polished" will fade & gone....help!

Hello all...
been awhile since the last time i posted here in MW....
im currently under training in a local flying academy here in malaysia..
expected to grad in about 8 months plus...
im a private sponsored cadet (by MARA)
im just curious, and worried that once i grad from my training,i'll be jobless...
because...i've seen MOST of my senior batches didnt manage to secure a job with any airlines and finally they had to come back as AFIs...
but the problem is, the AFI's vacancies in all fly school im malaysia seems to be full now...
heard that MAS had too much of thier own cadets,airasia been taking direct intakes but TOO FEW...
so, to those with acknowledgement on this matter, i hope you can help me sooth my worries...
all replies all greatly appreciated..thanks
COME HELP ME CHOOSE....
