jealous edi lar..

Good pay for a pilot They deserve it

Good pay because it is a high risk job. One small mistake can kill hundreds.

it looks like MAS offers very good salaries to their pilots..
but why there are so many pilots wanna leave MAS for other airlines?

I think this is the latest pay scale for MAS pilot. Their pilots used to complaint a lot of the pay a few years ago

good pay,they deserve it,they have to work on shift and the plane safety depends on them.i wish i took the pilot training after spm 4 years ago.haih

They do work on shifts but there is a strict limit on the number of hours they can work at one go. You don't want a tired or sleepy pilot

One thing people haven't mentioned is the effect on family life. I have an uncle who's in the flight crew, he is away for a days at a time. It does affect you if you have family and children so the pay does something to compensate for it.

Finally there's the risk factor that people have mentioned. The pilot is responsible for the whole plane. If the pilot screws up, even if nobody dies etc, he/she could be grounded for life, never to fly again.

Anyone know how long it takes to get to the top of the ladder?

i have one friend now trainning to become commercial pilot like MAS...

Trainning cost :

rm10000 to RM20000 to get the trainee licence (Like u pass undang then only u can learn to drive)

400 HOUR * rm250/RM400 per hour rate = RM100000 to RM160000 to quality to become
pilot ( My last time driving hour is 16hour * RM16/RM20 = RM800 / RM1000 to get car license.

Not incluing exam fee and etc..total cost to become just a A737 pilot is about RM150000 to RM200000.....not guanteree somemore MAS will hire u to become their pilot cos MAS aheemmm tend to pick their race to become their pilot.

It a lot of money and a gamble also...

Hope this info help u guys who wish to became pilot...

sigh..should have study hard and become a pilot instead

Below is just basic salary.Plus all you are looking at RM 60,000 ( TAX free and we say what you see is what you get, NO tax,sosco,EPF deduction ). For FO you are looking at rm 38,000.

No wonder so many MAS pilots rushing over.
