ok..let me make it this way...
thre are 2 private batches (about 15cadets/batch) graduated before my batch..d 1st private batch graduated bout 4-5 months ago..
n fyi,up to this date, only bout 6-7 cadets (from 30 cadets) already secured their places in airlines...n from tht 6-7 guys, only 2 guys got into major airlines...
so....wat do u think?
yeah...this is the main problem which faced by private cadet pilot..
before this i was planning to be a private cadet pilot as well, a lot of encouragement and discouragement came to me...there's advantages and disadvantages of being a private cadet and sponsored cadet. Being a private cadet....u dont need to go through all sorts of interviews which might slow down your steps....but u got to bear the risk of being jobless, which is kinda high. Unless u're very very rich...otherwise it's highly recommended to join cadet pilot program.
I just called MAS HR centre 2 weeks ago, from what i heard, although it's now past the intake's deadline, the cadet pilot program is still receiving application from people, just the chances of being chosen is low. I believe there's another intake on next year when the result of SPM result releases. And hopefully MAS wont stop the cadet pilot program due to expensive fuel price.
Hasyir, may i know currently u're in which flying school..? Thx
