Possibly studying for Instructor rating in order to build up time for an airline Job.
Will there be chaos in the future regarding upgrading? If they put all the MPL graduates in line what will happen to the ATR drivers who want to upgrade to the 320? Does this mean the less experienced MPL guys would get paid more than the veteran ATR pilots?
Are the MPL guys going to be absorbed by Cebu Pac? Right now there are high-time Air Force and genav guys being channeled through Airbus simulator. Some from that group are just now starting IOE. And yet there are already, what, over two dozen MPL students done with sim training who are just hanging around.
From what I understand of the hiring picture for the rest of the year, no new Airbus F/O's will be needed after this batch going through sim and IOE.
Can anyone tell me for certain whether the CAAP is now issuing multicrew licenses? The MPL program guys are still holding SPLs from what I gather. They need 10 takeoffs and landings. If CEB helps out in that department, then what? What license or certificate will the CAAP issue them? I'm asking because I'm genuinely confused as to the status of the MPL program.
It's confirmed. No more hiring for Airbus F/O for 2009 fiscal year. Even this current batch of trainees in the sim are unsure as to when they will start actual line training since there is a surplus of F/Os at this time.
Wowee this is a long thread on Clark, any more updates on this lot?
I heard that only the first batch will be finishing this year '09, am here in the Philippines and was talking with them on Hot air balloon day - going to go down and have a look around their facilities next week and ask a lot of questions:
I'll look through this thread first, and if anyone wants any specifics answered at this stage jot them down and ill print them all out to ask personally and report back here.
Sorry for bringing up an old thread but might aswell keep it all in one place.
So they have no where to go but Cebu Pacific? There are already so many people pissed as hell with the idea of sitting them directly to the right seat of the 320...it's going to break the growth chain of a lot of pilots. The essence of "paying your dues" does not exist in bupak if they go direct to the 320 thus causing a lot of negative emotions within the line.I would hate to go to work knowing that a lot of people there hates me. On the other side after spending so much money and only left with one option (Cebu Pacific) makes this MPL scheme kind of not worthit. Damned if they do, damned if they don't!
A certain retired PAL Captain who is now working as a consultant for the CAAP is stalling the MPL approval of Clark Aviation. He used to be the Chief Flight Instructor of CA back in 2007 but management was not happy with the way he was running the training program. Ironically He was not happy with management so one day he left and never came back.
The sooner MPL is approved by CAAP, the sooner these cadets will move on to the next step in their aviation career. Sadly though its not really all that well with aviation given that the Global financial crisis is still in effect. Even 5J is not spared.
"I would hate to go to work knowing that a lot of people there hates me"
well this job is not for you! where in the world can you find a job where everyone likes you anyway? WELL THEN WAKE UP THIS IS REALITY YOU CANNOT PLEASE EVERYBODY work is boring if everyone likes you give yourself a challenge you dont work for them just prove to yourself you're worth it .. mpl's still got a lot to prove. we'll just wait and see.
I never said everybody has to like you but at least lessen the ones that hate you.This applies to any job in any market, not just flying. A good working environment makes your life a lot easier. I don't question the methods or style of the MPL way, I merely pointed out how they will get in line. Secondly, I'm enjoying my job a lot...thank you very much.
