Hey! A friend of mine told me that they are taking fresh CPL holders as long as job seekers willing to pay $60,000 for the type rating course.
Heard there is currently a batch which is on type rating training at a facility in Singapore,also Tiger Airlines has
No housing allowance
No kids education allowance
No transport allowance
No meal allowance ( bring your own food and tea )
No overtime payment
No loss of license insurance
No wide body upgrade
No profit sharing
No bonuses
But
Many termination of cockpit/cabin crew
Many threatening of termination from head of training department
Many red-eye flights
Many long night turnaround flights
Many pre-dawn flights
Many MELs
Are the rumour above true? Can anyone confirm the above? Please, before wannabes part with their $60,000 from home mortgage for the type rating course.
And do they consider Malaysian with CPL/IR/Frozen ATPL from Massey Uni-NZ? Will the Singapore CAA convert this license?
Thank you
No housing allowance - True
No kids education allowance - True
No transport allowance - True
No meal allowance ( bring your own food and tea ) - True, but bottled water provided
No overtime payment - True
No loss of license insurance - True
No wide body upgrade - True
No profit sharing - False, small capped scheme, depends on profitibality
No bonuses - True
Many termination of cockpit/cabin crew - Some, nothing alarming.
Many threatening of termination from head of training department. - A high standard and SOP compliance is demanded, if you can't meet this you will not last.
Many red-eye flights. Some, this is not a 9-5 job.
Many long night turnaround flights. See above
Many pre-dawn flights. Again, see above
Many MELs. - Some, however most of the aircraft are new. All done by the book. No pressure except to follow the rules.
Any licence conversion issues, best get the latest info direct from CAAS, it changes from time to time.
