Looks like GWA are running a scheme to obviously make money out of low time pilots that might, just might get a small chance at a job.
Enjoy:
CONGRATULATIONS
You have been selected on the short list of candidates for a B1900
ground school with Great Western Airlines in Adelaide starting Monday
30th August 0900.
Places are limited and the cost will be approximately $750 per person.
The course is expected to run through until Friday 3rd September
On completion of the ground school all candidates must be willing to
self-sponsor a B1900 FO endorsement at an approximate cost of $7000
Great Western Airlines will only give endorsement opportunities to
candidates who excel on the ground course, pass a simulator ride and are
assessed by an interview panel to be appropriate for employment.
Both Captain and FO positions will be available in Perth and Adelaide
starting on a casual basis with prospects of a full time position
subject to performance.
Once selected candidates will be notified of a confirmed position and
will be required to pay a $150 deposit that will be non-refundable,
balance to be paid on arrival at GWA Adelaide.
BEST OF LUCK
I think its awful that more and more operators are starting to do this, can anyone explain more about it or is it really just a money making scheme?
