I am now in the middle of the TR. Everything is goign well and I am positivly surprised about PGS. Hope to fly alot this season with them. They promised us a contract if we will be above the standard. Just have to move on if they wont offer us the contract. It is not the end of the world... Nice guys and good athmosfere that is what I have experienced until now. Been here since the 10th of feb. Going to Amsterdam CAE to do the SIM in a weeks time.

JAP,

where did you look?! there are over 20 replies on this post during the last 6 months, including some informative ones.

Good luck with the assessment, which is really hard to fail if you have the money. Enjoy Istanbul! IP

Its just that there is a big gap between june 07 and jan 08...

Thanx alot..

Are u doing the TR now by any chance??

Pilot Positive

Does anybody know of or who have themselves completed their contracted number of hours with Pegasus and gone on to work for another airline??? Any contacts will be helpful...

Also: What has been the usual number of hours for completion of line training? What kind of sign off and follow up report can you expect?

Thanks for any useful info

EpsilonVaz

Does anyone have any new info about Pegasus?

Do people get employed with other airlines after their TR+line training if they don't get a summer contract?

Thanks

Cap Loko

Yes that happens but realize that it is very difficult to find something with just 200 hours on type, especially if you are low on TT. Timing is crucial.

Norrington

True.. timing is crucial if you want a summer contract. If you start now for example, you will be completed in September, October.
2 month for the TR, 2-3 month for 200h LT.

EpsilonVaz

Thanks for your replies.

I am just wondering if there are any guys out there who have gone through this training with the 200 line hours, then come out and have found/not been able to find a job.

Thanks

Cap Loko

Hey EpsilonVaz,

I finished in may (so just before the summer season) 2006 with 200 hrs. At that time, i had 3 concrete job offers (that means a start date):
One in Turkey, another one in Asia and one in Europe (temp contract). At the end I started neither of them due to other considerations.

It took our group at 4-5 months to complete 200 hrs due to lost contracts with tour operators. At least, thats what Pegasus told us.

Just make sure you have a plan B and realise it will be a harder to find something later in the year.

EpsilonVaz

Could anyone advise me as to what the Pegasus F/O pay is?

trncrd

I saw in google that Pegasus made a good deal for line training: They r offering 300 hrs for 13000€ including difference!

Too bad that it is only for line trn I do not have the type yet
Im still trying to earn money to get type rating... glad though that daf was happy with the training, good reference 4 us guys...

Latest update:

I now have finished training with PGS, and have a a summer contract with them. Ending in late october.

We started linetraining in istanbul, and then around 50 hours, we moved to Antalya. Wich means more and faster to get the hours. In 2 month i have gotten almost 200 hours. I am counting on around 500 hours in october. Then the world should be alittle bit more open.

Flying in Istanbul is exciting as well as Antalya. 2 different things. istanbul you also get small legs. (30-40 mins) x 4-5. Good experience in preparing an approach.
In Antalya 95% of all flying is 3 hours or more.


I really like the procedures and the SOP is working well. The basic of the SOP is actually from a BIG irish company. That used to own Pegasus in the begining as i understand it. Wich means it is some good procedures.

Hi guys,
They called me for the assessment on 13th July, and the course starts on 14th...Any idea of why they give a so short-time advice? Probably if I'll be successful, I'll finith TR and 200Hrs in October/November and will be difficult to get a seasonal contract. Don't you think so? Any suggestion? Thank's guys, best luck!

Cap Loko

In contrary to what I wrote above, it took our group 6 months to complete 200 hours (just checked my logbook). We started flying by the end of november / beginning december.
I hope things have improved by now. By reading daf's post, things look better in that respect these days, I wish I could have flown 200 hrs in 2 months.
Nevertheless check out guys who finished last year around october, how long it took them to make their hours. Like i wrote before, the time of year can make a whole lot of difference.

Hi guys...
I had an answer from flypgs academy and they told me another course is going to commence in mid september. I would know how many courses do they schedule per year.
Any info would be appreciated....

What about this program at the present time ?

A friend of mine is looking for a line training on 737 EFIS or NG... (with JAR licence)
If someone knows where it's possible .....
