As stated above,i'm very interested to do piloting but have almost absolutely no idea on how to go about it.Mas has given their address and so i shall be sending them my resume very soon but i don't know where to send it for Air Asia and SIA.

I'm told that MAS has only 2 intakes a year and that only 12 students get in each time,how far this is true i do not know.

A senior pilot or captain's recommendation almost guarantees you a place i heard.

What about you guys,how'd you get in?,how's it now?,where were you sent to?

Hey there,
I'd just got my SPM result and now I'm currently preparing my resume and will probaly send it tomorrow. I just wanna ask if i should include my sijils along?, i mean like those school persatuan and those kinda sijil?

wah piloting = BIG MONEY!
good lah make sure you work hard for it and just do it!

dude just sent ur resume to mas ..they are now taking a lot of trainee for pilot....huhuhhuhh

Ok man,i shall be doing so.

2 of my friend are doing their courses with MAS right now. Every intake they only take 16 person from thousands that applied. If you were shortlisted, you will have to go for 4 phases of interview and then only they inform you whether you are succesfull or not. If you get it, you'll have to complete 1 year courses (subjects,exams etc) and then another 6 months for simulator training. That's what i know. But your SPM result must be really impressive (straight A's etc).

just 170k to study own in Malaysia. still cheaper than study Doctor in Malaysia.

ohya, MAS have very bad financial problem so do hope too much from them.

Hey guys,anyone is a pilot?,i wanna find out some stuff..........

2 of your friends also straight As?
what do you mean by etc?

Just send in ur application immediately!!! MAS today onli got advertise in star newspaper.... IF u study higher then STPM or a-lvl,,,then btr apply SIA lar..... And if u want more flying and hectic hours,,,apply air asia lar...

Ur info is totally crap lar.... I dunnoe y but MAS is recruiting soooo many cadets when they are actually selling of their planes.... MAS is sending 16 cadet per batch and the intervels is like 2 weeks each... So basicly 'everyone can fly'.... You no nid to be a genius to apply if you got some TNB cables which most cadets have..... But if u think u dun hav,,,then straight A might get u to the test lar.....i guess.....

thx airseal yohoho... so free to surf lowyat but not to update ur blog!!

sorry for off topic mod.

I also wish to apply to MAS but i have no idea of wat to include in the resume...so anyone can give some idea in writing the resume?

just including anythin as they want to see u r result n ur cocuricular activities...... another thing to be chosen one is really hard ....cause usually they all use their 'cable' or org dalam to get in ..... this is why is hard for people like us to take this program....my frend got one he already failed the first attempt n second attemp was help by some big guy in the company

OK....

must clear some myth...

You don't have to Score STRAIGHT A's in SPM to be selected...

you have to score A's in the Subject that matters(ALthough they say minimum a 4B, better to score A,)
MATHS (i scored 1A)
English (I Scored 1A, GCE' O 2A)
Physics ( I Got 2A)
BM........(Don't do too badly, i GOT 4B)

What i Submit?:
SPM Result 2004
South.Australian.Matriculation results 2005
SPM Oral Certificate for Both English and BM.
School Leaving CERT/Testimonial

i've submitted after CNY. got called for Psychomotor today, i've pass this psychomotor. doing my MISPA next weel.

Basiclly there are 4 stages

1) Psychomotor
2) MISPA
3) Interview
4) Medical (i currently have a Class-1 medical which i did on my OWN)

Failing any stages will result in you failing the whole thing.

you don't need to be a genius to fly a plane, you don't need to have IQ of above 140...

you need to be :

GOOD Hand-Eye COORDINATION( tested during Psychomotor)
CALM UNDER PRESSURE
MAKING GOOD DECISION
CONFIDENT(BUT NOT OVERLY)
___________________________________________________________

Study locally and privately is possible.

But it's not easy to get a space in HM Aerospace or MFA.

nice job fillet.

Can anyone tell we what is the reference thingy inside resume?

congratz for getting to the second stage....
juz a short advice,,,,time is precious in the second test and be urself in the personality test.....

haha..actually if u look at their website they have ongoing vacancies for cadet pilot since last year. Only recently advertise on newspaper....MAS need a lot of new pilot since most of thier pilot have move to other airline (better pay la what else).

Yea, it pay alot, but i dont think its worth it, u be travelling around the world and dont have time for ur family. At finally at one stage u will become bored.So if u really want to be a pilot make sure u have a passion on it no just because of the pay.

My friend failed the color blind test, then cannot continue already. He passed all the exam in the 1st stage...such a waste.

how can he fail? is he reallly color blind?

there's an alternative if u fail u ISHIHARA Colour PLATE TEST.

can try FANSWORTH LANTERN TEST
