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).

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

First you need to get CPL/Cadet pilot license, then PPL/ Private pilot license, after then ATPL Frozen/ Air Transport pilot license Frozen, which mean you have to unfreeze it by achieving certain hours.

I think I missed a license here, which is something Commercial pilot license. Can someone fresh me up?

Through the cadet pilot selection process.
You might have advantages but seriously, not much point.
Self sponsor only if you are ready to take on general aviation.

Sorry,just now iwas eating pineapple, typing with one hand,so wasnt able to write much.
Now i am eating lunch doh.gif

Back to the topic. I am not sure whether its rare case or not, but I did saw someone with fresh frozen ATPL hired by SQ.

You got the point, but i think if we keep waiting airline's cadet pilot programme, why dont we self sponsor, and then find a general aviation airport and gain up 500 hours and then we will get the requirement of most airlines.

I got a noob question:
After cadet pilot get thier frozen atpl, they will still continue thier lesson provided by thier own airline. So do a direct entry pilot with low flying hour need to have the lesson too?

Please correct my mistakes.

hmm.... well..

i've already had plan for langkawi flight school....

i'm going into the May intake........confirmed.......

i though of degree...... but i don't really have the heart to do degree.......

i took a gamble and enroll into flight school.......

i know a few guys who did it on their own and got into Airline..... and i am taking the same gamble....

i had my Eyes on AirAsia or Instructing at local club.....
well... now is the golden moment because there is a shortage of pilots in China, Air Asia, India...  ... i don't want to miss the ship and wait for another round of shortage...... that's why i decided to take a gamble and not go for degree...
*
MFA full already? I though you booked a seat in there.

Anyway I will reserve a seat either in melaka or langkawi later. While waiting for MAS, I will try to finish my stpm. If no news from MAS, then with stpm certificate i will apply for SIA cadet, alternatively I will get loan and study myself.

So if fillet after you study in there,remember to give me some feedback smile.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

Tatayoung,
May i know your qualification?

Teddie,
I am not sure which tv drama you meant, but if you mean a hong kong drama named 'triumph to the sky', I remember it did told us when an airplane take off it prefer head wind and when on high atitude, it prefer tail wind?

BTW... HK drama 'Triumph in the Skies' is ALMOST BULLSHIT when it comes to PILOT......... they focus on their love life..... it's a bullshit when u see the FLYING scene.............
there's one reason why when a PLANE takes off, the pilot will almost always face the PLANE opposite the wind direction...........

this is to create MORE lift, because of the Velocity difference between the PLANE and the Headwind........... the plane can takeoff at a shorter distance.........

let's take a C172 as example.. let's say it's take-off speed is 60knots..... if there's a headwind of 10 knots... the C172 can takeoff at 50knots....
taking off with tailwind is kind of risky............ and remember the Famous AIR FRANCE's Concorde accident?? one of the many reasons is the pilot chose to takeoff with TAILWIND..
*
I watched this drama with full expectation that it would give me more detail about a pilot's life and in the end, majority of the story was about love. And unfortunately the time I sent my resume to MAS is when the drama started on tv3, i am sure after while a lot of people will rushing to become a pilot sweat.gif
However I did gain some knowledge from it, and yet, when I online check the information it gave,mostly50% are wrong sweat.gif

I doubt they took those airplane scenes using FS2004 biggrin.gif

until they have flown 1500 hours, they cannot be GRANTED ATPL.
ATPL will only be granted to someone who has flown 1500 hours...............
your cannot obtain ATPL fresh from flying school...
the Term Frozen-ATPL means

a CPL/IR with passes in ATPL papers.
*
Then how to explain those who graduated with atpl? You mean they did atcually have flown for 1500 hours?

You need to have a very fit physical health with good coordination/response.
Why not getting a degree 1st then apply? You stand higher chance to get into SIA with the degree. Of course with higher $$$

If after STPM isnt sufficient yet then i guess i will have to study myself.
Atcually I dont really care about the $$$, just wanted to fulfill my ambition.

teddie: This question is foolish, but chemistry have nothing to do with pilot right? I guess u take it as to ensure other job in future.

some insider information on HMA, from the Cedets themselves
currently, Batch 1 has graduated.
Batch 2-12 are in, there are currently 230 students in the school.
Batch 2 is graduating soon,
HMA doesn't have enough planes and instructors,
so for certain batches, they are sent to Kota Bharu to train.
in HMA, you get 180 Actual Flight Time, and 20 simulator hours with Full-glass cockpit experience.
and DISCIPLINE is tight there..........
i've been there,
saw the Principal, CI, CGI, nice chaps i would say,..... but i believe they will be full till 2008.
also, they are STILL receiving MAS Cadets tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif!!
*
copy paste:
Beside having offered MSS to some 6000 current employees including pilots, MAS has also offered MSS to cadet pilots (batch no. 14 graduated from MFA and currently undergoing simulator training at Subang). Details of the MSS offer to cadet pilots as follows:-

(1) 15 years bond will be terminated if they accept the MSS plus a token of RM 2,000 (two thousand ringgit) will be given, OR

(2) if they do not accept the MSS, cadet pilots will still be bonded to 15 years and they may be assign to non-flight duties.

As you can see from the above, it is a clear sign that MAS now has a pool of surplus pilots as compared to 1 to 2 years ago. This was a result of giving up the domestic routes to AirAsia and the closing down of some unprofitable international routes.

It is no longer a rosy pictures for cadet pilots who are currently still undergoing training and more so for those who aspire to be cadet pilot. Having put in so much efforts and obtaining their ATPL within 16 months and now being offered the MSS is really a big DISAPPOINTMENT to the cadets.

This is so 1994.
Pilots doing steward duties are not unheard of.
Guess it will be 2015 or 2016 when MAS will begin recruiting aggressively again. And the cycle begins again.

really?! XD

doh.gif:x sorry for misleading you guys to 1994...

edit: in 94' its also called mss?

most of the time..

people fail during the Personality TEST...

if you consider the English(VERBAL understanding) difficult, uyou are probably not fit to be a pilot............... the mian aim of that is to see whehter can you EXTRACT THE CORRECT INFORMATION FROM A GIVEN TEXT... if you failed to understand it... means... you're really not suitable as a pilot......

in other words, the English(VERBAL Test) is to test your ability to understand a GIVEN text(situation).............which is an IMPORTANT SKILL

why do people fail personality test?
