hi guys, i've sent an application form for air asia cadetship thru their website about 2 months ago. and they sent me this Dear Candidates, Please be informed that your application to be a cadet pilot with AirAsia has been recieved by us. However, due to overwhelming response, our cadetship for April is full. You will be invited for our next cadetship which is estimated to take place sometime in July later this year. Once the assessment dates are confirmed, you will be notified accordingly. Until then please be patient and look out for our email. Thank you Capt David Kalisvaran Flight Deck Recruitment Team Air Asia Malaysia i just wanted to ask, when they say cadetship, do they mean taking us in for training to become first officers, or do they want candidates who already posses their pilot's license? thanks in advance.

there goes SIA. how about MAS or AA? Any chance?

i thought SIA only O-levels? crud.

so i just finished my spm, and i think my life in aviation seems to be a distant dream now. but why not give it one last shot. so do u guys have any idea if there would be an opening for people like me to get a scholarship? from ANY airline in asia, doesnt matter, im desperate. been searching thru the internet and doesnt seem like i have any luck tho

so, jalan pekeliling cannot spot there already? planning to go next week

my mind is set on something other than aviation, but if MAS giving scholarship next year, then i'll probably take it. All the best bro! hmmm, whats the differnce between those PPL's? and can u give a rough estimate on the cost?

but then again, u can fly higher, faster, further, and got ppl serve u peanuts how much do u have to pay for PPL btw? Last time i went to royal selangor flying club, if not mistaken it was 20k? im not very sure anymore, can anyone tell me?

yeah, 250k and no certainty u'll get a job after rite? good to hear that! im planning to get a stable job, then get a private pilot's license. i think flying single prop planes will be good enough for me

hahah, that one surely my parents dun allow. but an interesting option tho...

erm, i mean, are they giving out scholarships? if they're not, then im going into a different field, i dont think i'd dare gamble a few hundred thousand and then come out of flying school with no job

Im taking my SPM this year (wish me luck! ) and i was wondering if there would be any openings next year, i know chances are slim but might as well giv i t a try if theres any

I think if u travel about more than 90km, u can break fast, even if its during the day...

hopefully they survive ths...

amazing shot of the fire(explosion?)

waste of time and money

I just got back from Sungai Besi Air Museum Open Day. Its kinda my first air show(?) if u can say that. all in all, it wasnt too bad. just that it was kind off hot and lots of little kids running around. they had some new addition to the museum. had a Mig-29 novalogic flight combat sim. wasnt working tho. i was quite impressed coz they were using saitek x-52 for the joystick, something i really wanted to try out. followedby some booths. kind of a lot of people so, hati tak puas sangat tengok tengok. they had an array of suits. not to bad. evenn a fighter jet seat on which u can sit on. in one booth, there was a simulated radar control and the person in charge was kind enough to talk to me, i suspect he's a retired member of RMAF. there was also a booth where TUDM displayed their guns and tools. gas mask, binos and everything. that was quite cool. there an M4 carbine, M4 RIS, Glock 18C pistol, and an MP5 with a folding stock. i fiddled around the Glock but the guy didnt allowed that. darn.... hmm, then there was a simulated rescue of a downed helicopter. not too bad. A nuri did a low fly-by followed by a team of UTK's repelling down from the helicopter. parachute jump from a C130 from fl7000. and fire rescue. and i guess thats it. there was some stalls outside selling model planes and tshirts. so i bought one tshirt. RM19. not too bad i must say

such a loss.... i enjoy looking at the runway everytime i pass it on the highway...

any ideas?

I may be travelling on A380. business chnaces would be higher perhaps?

anyone tried?

woah, lucky the plane has 8 hour worth of extra fuel

i am actually in the same exact boat as u. my dad has talked to some pilot friends, and they say MAS is not taking in any cadets for awhile as they have too many. the only hiring airline is air asia and they might nt be sponsoring and may just hire FO or captains. 200k+ seem to be the right estimate. as the others say, u might want to get a diploma first. as for me, im planning to go into dentistry and then try my luck with aviation. borrow ur thread, MW, if i have a PPL license, does that increase my chances for being picked for sponsorship by airlines? and does foreign airlines like SQ or emirates sponsor malaysians for piloting course? thanks

if air asia is the new national carrier, then it wouldnt be a very nice image for malaysia. not that im saying MAS is any better but i'll fly with MAS anytime.

at the rate air asia is growing? bright obviously.

wow. lucky no planes taxing. any pictures?
