Fly Lah!

Hi, I have a question to all Private Student....

If you all cannot get an airline job (i m not here to curse you all), what is your backup plans???

Please share it to me, i need it....

Be a AFI, build up your hours and then try again. No luck, keep trying. An opportunity will definitely come knocking on your door some day.

Do you mind to share more about AFI? I would certainly want to know nore about it. Thanks!

AFI = Assistant Flight Instructor. This is the backup plan for most freshies after they graduate. Its basically another course which you will have to undergo in order for your to train cadets in a particular Flying Academy. If you can afford to pay for the course, you will not be bonded with the Academy for long, but If you need the Academy to sponsor you for the AFI course, you'll be bonded for at least 2 years minimum, correct me if I'm wrong.

After the bond, keep trying for Airlines, If no luck, then continue as an FI (Flight Instructor) and keep trying some more.

huh.. thought if got license then normally can get a job within a year..

hmm... susah jugak nak kejar impian ni... alot of hurdle need to undergo... especially for privater, need to think about the monthly installment lagi......

any members here that already have the license but jobless more than 6month?

kalau orang lama pun tak dapat keje, camne dengan freshie?? huhh....

if masuk belajar academy sekarang by the time we graduate, hopefully theres alot of vacancies.
besides by 2011 the ecnomy might be in shape and if the MAS intake in 2011 is true, we'll get the job hopefully. for now the thing that we must do is wait and pray and wait and a lot of praying. haha

eh..i wonder which airlines take fresh cadet pilot other than MAS??

Be an AFI or ground instructor at flying schools

AirAsia, Firefly, MASwings, Berjaya. I feel very grateful that in Malaysia, airlines accept freshly graduated cadets. Not like in other coutries that requires a lot more flying hours to get a job.

bit relieved to hear that...

But not all of them are hiring now. Competition is tough
