Eastern Airways Scam
There have been one or two articles recently commenting on how some airline companies may be immoral. I think the latest recruitment strategy of the above company falls into this category - this is how it goes
You are asked to attend a three week groundschool without pay and probably at short notice. You will be asked to take a sim ride and probably pay for this yourself. If they like you they will send you to the U.S.A for sim training and you will have to sign for a 15k three year loan which they will pay if you stay and you will pay if you leave. You may wait a few weeks for the sim obviously without pay.
Problems - Who can suddenly leave their current job for three weeks to attend such a grounschool without a job offer. Who can loiter around for a few more weeks without pay waiting for further training. Who wants a 15k loan hanging around their neck for an aircraft (J41) that is only flown by their company in the U.K. What happens if you fall out of favour with the company after a few months? The only person who would be suited to the above is a rich unemployed person who is desperate. I know there are some desperate people about - BEWARE!
