yeap SO in 777 now , am feeling the heat right now

haha why feel the heat?

777 is the dream fleet of many pilot. Other than the basecheck, u should be enjoying your life ma.

i don't think i have the chance to fly 777 . aiming for the Red Bus now.

haha, line training itself is the problem. The thing is they are pretty hard on us lately. I am not sure what the reason is i believe it has got to do with some of the near accidents that we have lately. Having said that, line training is pretty damn sh*t and really the way this company runs it reflects how the country works. Don't really have to elaborate on that u know what i mean. Seriously, i'll like to enjoy my life in a 320 rather than having stressed up in a 777.

I dont really know how its like in AA and MH mind telling me how they run the company ? Anyway are u doing ur type rating now

malaysian flight academy at mlake or hm aerospace at langkawi buddy..

i don't think so. MAS already got a lot of cadet pilots in flying academies under their sponsorship.

a-level or degrees don't really boost advantage to the application. u still need to pass the health n IQ tests. 1 batch of cadet pilot may consists of school leavers, fresh graduates or even experienced project managers (i've met this kind of cadet pilot bfore).

yeah. my bro told me that too.

i heard AA is still actively recruiting cadets?
will they still recruit in the year 2010?

May i ask? if i was a science student for SPM who took physics before but currently im taking diploma in accounting and maybe continue to take ACCA. after i graduate can i still apply for pilot? can somebody tell me pls?

Yes you can.

I got heard about my friends say tat AA is taking cadet pilot this yrs.

MAS isn't going to offer cadetship this year and 2010. they planned to open it again on 2011. but they already have a lot of cadet pilot in their hand.

mas still got more than 10 batches waiting inline for line training
also there are still a number of batches that havent finish flying school.

as for the intake for 2011, i'm not very sure but i heard rumors that mas no longer sponsor cadets
their future cadets will be tied up under mas but the flying school fees will be in loan term with mara. not sure this is true or not.

and note that mas will not take female pilots
its mas policy
its got to do with some internal issues

other airlines in malaysia that take female pilots are AA, fireflyz, masswings and berjaya air

AA currently is still taking cadets from last i heard
but i personally think that they will also opt for the pilots with no job now.

froms last years statistics in malaysia alone there is more than 500 flying school graduates that still have no job.

for those who really want to become pilot and are willing to do their licence privately, the fees now is ranging from 246k above.
that is for complete cpl/ir with frozen atpl
but u must study hard because if u need to re-do any flying exams,
it will cost u around 800 bucks for each extra hour
and each flying exams is min of 2 hours

in malaysia the flying school that mas have sent their cadets are 3.
MFA, HMA and APFT.
but there are also some other flying school like bintulu and KLIFA JB.

these info and facts is just what i know
it may be outdated
please correct me if i'm wrong

-peace-
me out

when is the intake?

wht is the meaning of mas cadet pilot??

if i want to apply AA, someone here know which site should i go??
n if got no please let me know..

theres tooo many cadet pilot in MAS .. if u were called for the first stage interview .. the probability for u to enter the flying school after all the stages is on the end of 2010 .. by then .. u will need at least 1.5 years after all the school training .. usually they extended to 2 years because of too many students ..

means. . at the end of 2012 .. then u need at least 1 more year for line training , sim training n everything .. mind u .. there are at least 500 people waiting for sim training at the moment ...

i would suggest u to take any other things first .... dont just go there with ur SPM cert .. yes .. u can do that .. but i think its better to have at least a degree or diploma ... by that time .. maybe the industry is moving fast again at that time ..

degree on any principle?
but yeah nowdays the supplies move quicker than the demand

Mas is opening a cadet pilot.Do watch for the ad in Star or Utusan newspaper tomorrow. Im so happy for u guys

Good day everyone,

I wanna ask several questions which are of course relating to this discussion topic. How much MAS will pay to their Cadet Pilot during the training period? and how long for the contract that need to be signed by the Cadet Pilot?

Allowance - It depends on the company and which flying school u will be placed in
Contract with MAS - 10-15 years

Currently the bond is 15 years and they will deduct ur money for the training that they give u when u become a trainee.May i know where i can get a full details about the first and second test?can provide me a link?
