In addition to the above, GCAA class 1 medical, transportation and accommodation charges are not included.
Ground school is in Sharjah, Core Flying in Portugal or Greece, Training and TR in Dubai and Sharjah.
Have heard success stories with over 100 cadets getting placement with the airline but right now they are facing a delay in the training period from 3-6 months.
Personally would not pay so much for an MPL!
They wait for a year these days. Accommodated so many cadets for their profit and now they can't even handle the delay within 6months.
Lucky you didn't go for it. 2018 contract which has been jsut revealed by air arabia is completely crap.
Even if you start flying you don't get paid at all and you will have to pay every expenses including your medical license renew.
They've got more than enough cadets and know no one can give up in the middle after paying so much. Alpha still advertises the course takes 18months, 97% will get contract, you'll get paid as soon as you start flying. All bull****. Don't know if the school is aware of new contract.
Delay is there in between every course and almost a year of delay before portucal.
What you signed with Alpha doesn't mean anything when you sign the contract with air Arabia. They will bring a completely new contract which you never heard from the school.
