Susi Air job

Yes they increased the amount YOU have to pay!

Just curious what's the deal with the latest part time flight instructor position?

Take home pay? Actual schedule? Aircraft?

I have another pretty good gig that leaves me long stretches of time off. So I'm aware of the negatives, but I can't help but be curious as I have family nearby. If you were a senior CA at Susi after say 5 years... What would you make in IDR?

It is a full time position. Full Time Instructor, Part Time "Pilot"... ie. you'll end up flying the Jakarta schedule (yay for 0440 pickups!) and/or charters as and when required.

Looks like you have to complete the initial training as well. So that'll be US$2500 training bond and then "permanent" assignment to Pangandaran.

At completion of First-Officer training program, the candidate will be employed as Full-Time instructor and First-Officer (depending on operational requirements).

I think Jakarta is still a 3/1 base... 3 weeks on, 1 week off. It's either that or 6/2. 6 on/2 off. Don't know if the instructors get paid any more than your average FO, but they dangle upgrade priority as a carrot.

Aircraft will be the C208B, although, I note that "flight" training is not part of this job description. It is all ground and sim based. You can't do the flight training part until you're a captain.

Responsible for accomplishment of aviation instruction consisting of ground school and simulator training for Initial, Recurrent or generic aircraft training courses. Measure training progress of students.

Last lot of initials I spoke to, were getting:

• <500TT: ID$?? (I can't quite remember, I think it was around 10-11mil)
• <1000TT: IDR$13,620,000
• >1000TT: IDR$15,420,000

Captains getting from IDR$28,800,000 up (USD$2400 @12000 IDR rate)... I think Senior guys (excluding Papua) are up to around IDR$42,000,000 (USD$3500 @ 12000 IDR rate)

Edsbar: hahaha. They will get more volunteers if they need to pay more.

Hvymetal: try one year first then see how yo stay 5 years. Good luck!

Thanks, I don't think it will work for me anyways but I appreciate the advice...

Friends inside tell me that salaries are still less than they were a year ago, management is becoming more inexperienced and remains poor, obtaining work permits, KITAS etc for new hires is taking months (all the while no flying and on half pay) and the company is still desperately short of pilots. Money still an issue (?):
