So I kindly mention that this money is not mentioned in the application or anywhere online. Then I kindly ask them to specify what I'm paying 87000usd for. Response "uhhm, uhh.. ground school, conversation uhhm uhh"
Its ridiculous.. It's basically a scam
Look at the VietJet thread for what you can expect. I can guarantee you the final price (assuming the whole thing isn't a fraud from the start), will end up being way more than 87,000 usd.
There are a lot of very shady and dubious people operating in the shadows of these SE Asian airlines like VietJet and Bamboo trying to get rich off you. Be careful.
And with Coronovirus smashing the airline industry hard, be even more careful.
Flying with VietJet's "Pay-to-Fly Pilots"... thoughts?
