I wanted to do piloting but after a while that dream seem to be a distant future for me. Now I'm getting a Mechanical Eng. degree first before I do any flying( added advantage with a degree).
Also problem is that if you go to school overseas, you dont get to work there as a cadet unless some company absorb you into cadetship, so 200K and end up in MAS(that is if they are recruiting) or Air Asia.
Dont get me wrong this two companies are superb just that might as well do it locally.
Idk much but I heard MAS usually take in people with ATPL(frozen)but idk the conditions and all. Use to refer to askcaptainlim.com but now the site seems to be closed.
Also best you ask a MAS pilot or those in the cadetship programme or even pilots for more details.
BUT everyone(pilots to engineers) tell me that they need people in the aviation industry, lots of them so prospects are there. Anyways gl.
