Hi guys,
I just got an email asking me to attent the AirAsia Cadet Pilot Assesment Stage 1. Can any of you guys give me some info on that? I don't have a clue. It says that we'll be tested on English, Maths and Physics.

Haha, hey there fillet..not bad, we actually have about 4 guys from HMA on LYN now, LOL.
Capt. Michael naik pangkat already, he's the new CI
And yeah, enjoying all the flying for sure, but then again, since you're in AK now, surely you'd be flying the hell out those buses right? haha

haha... yea seriously.. have fun in langkawi.....

but when you're under radar.. don't do stupid things la.. *ahem* *ahem*

Copied that..haha
Too many mistakes made in the past, or should I say, "recent" past to learn from
You guys were using the TB-10 at the time right? Thank God these DA-40's fly beautifully, what an AC to start off with!!

i've flown all 3 of them.. all 3 are beautiful aircrafts

i would like to ask...why is it that the first assessment for AirAsia (one of the many dates they have) is held on the first day of CNY? they expect people to show them commitment even before joining AA as a cadet?

What's the first assessment all about anyway? You got invited for it?

i got the same email. just that my date is not specified yet. anyways, just read up your spm stuffs. should be okay.

Wah Capt Mike CI now aa..?
Palta cabut d..?
How about Capt Zul, Latt, Naoki..?

I miss the Twin Star.

Zul and Latt still here, Naoki gone.

hey what kind of general knowledge will they ask during the interview to be a cadet pilot..?

They can ask ANYTHING under the sun, no specific topic. That's why its called GENERAL knowledge mate..

BUMP

I would like to ask some questions.

1. After graduated from flying academy with CPL/IR and if we want to
build flight experience (hours) as FI do we need to pay another sum of fees
in order to obtain full frozen ATPL?

2. Do we need to pay more for type rating such as B737 or A320 and other fleets?

3. What is the salary for FI? And if as cadet pilot from airline, do we get fully
sponsored for the whole training including building flying hour and type rating?

Thanks

Do MH and AK have open dates for accepting cadets? I'm thinking of writing in with my application. Damn, I would do anything to work in aviation. My first choice right now is an ATCO post at DCA, but even that there's no specific exam/interview date. All I know is that the academy at Sepang will take in a new batch in May 2012.

Hey there, this info should be correct.

1. After graduated from flying academy with CPL/IR and if we want to
build flight experience (hours) as FI do we need to pay another sum of fees
in order to obtain full frozen ATPL?
- Alot of different answer to this.
1- FI rating doesnt require you to have an ATPL
2- Frozen ATPL requires you to sit for the JAA exam
3- FI rating requires money

2. Do we need to pay more for type rating such as B737 or A320 and other fleets?
- Yes, however usually your airline will bear the cost at the expense of your contract. MAS/AK/FY will bear the type rating fees. Working with indonesian airlines requires you to fork out your own money for the type rating.

3. What is the salary for FI? And if as cadet pilot from airline, do we get fully
sponsored for the whole training including building flying hour and type rating?
- This is a mixed bag. Salary depends on your employer but it should be in around 4-5K. Cadet pilot from airline..ofcourse they'll fully bear the expense

wish i could start all over again, but then again my family would have to be able to afford the training fees

aww..theres a few options tho, you can try the airlines cadetship or if you're a bumiputra you can always opt for the mara loan heck you can even apply to be a flight instructor. The sky's the limit

MAS is currently accepting cadet using direct intake method which mean someone need to have CPL/IR to be under MAS.
I hope AirAsia will not doing that method in the future or else, aspiring pilots like me need to fork out our own money

This is my dream job but sadly im a hypsiphobia.
