IFTC Turkey Type Rating A320 + 500 hours
International Flight Training Center (IFTC)

Any info on them? Do they actually provide the line training after your type?

Romeo , you tool! I've never paid to fly, I've had bad experiences with agents and have always looked to expose scammers in order to make people like yourself aware of the risks and the overall damage it causes to the industry .

I have been working on a list of paytofly agents and airlines and would like to publish detailed information on cost, training standards, delays and other useful information.

All of my experience on piston , turbo prop and jets was through working hard and struggling from job to job , learning as I moved up the ladder.

Wink

But you clearly asked if they provide LT after TR? You can only assume you are also looking for joining these so called scam programs...

I tell you, i hate paying these amount of money as you can imagine, but i feel like i just might have to!!!! And here is where I'm at.

What you mean? You have been scammed once? By these agents

Read carefully, I said I had a bad experience with an agent which ended up as a pay to fly scheme when initially a salaried job was promised!

Regarding IFTC , several of us were wondering if Turkey accepts non JAA licenses and how they were getting away with pilots from other countries flying in Turkey!hence my enquiry...

Do what you think is right for you, I was fortunate to get a break but it was a long road . My biggest problem is with agents and scammers ! They have no control over when you will start your training , the airline does, and pay to fly is always the least priority. ! Your money is mostly going to the agent , this is more of a headache for the airline 's HR/Operations department to manage. So of they decide to delay or cancel the program , your money will not be returned!

Good luck

SAS

This chap who runs this in Colombo is a nut cracker with no real life experience.
All he has his piston experience , done his SL PPL in Colombo and FAA CPL the his Flight instructor rating in Colombo and the colombo Style ATPL papers available in CAA ( CAA SL recently sacked an employee for selling the questions)

So in General this chap has piston hours, all on 152 I guess no real time work experience in an Airline or anywhere got hold of a retired Captain and using the wealth of his Father or Uncle who is knwn as Raththran ( Gold chain snatcher) a goon who used to be a thug and now a MP of the government. The spineless CAA now in the process of issuing them an AOC to start an airline because now this MP is using balckmoney to turn white. He can get Aeroplanes to show his hidden money and also to get down an Aircraft which he has purchased three eyars ago now parked in an Arab country under different AOC. These are all Black money , starting companies to make it White.

Its a shame some Senior retired Captains are in this project and associating these goons and big talkers. This chap SAMITHA or somebody from SAS doesn't know JACK **** of Aviation... Stay away from them.

It is sad anytime something is stolen from anyone. Stealing is wrong no matter the circumstances.

Good Day

airlinkers is a scam - stay away from this and anyone involved with them.

A few of us looked into this a few years ago on behalf of someone on another aviation site. We found the Facebook profile of the guy in Bangalore (B....).

It's really simple - any pay to fly scheme is a scam.

Guys, avoid any p2f scheme. Legit or not! It doesn't matter.
I don't understand the point of paying for someone to work for him.
This destroyed the industry, seriously.


Btw, I'm type rated with 0 hours so we're all in the same boat.
