Flying for Lion Air
I have done the assessment at CAE for the Lion Air program, and I think that I will likely get a provisional offer soon. Now I am not crazy about pay-for-training, and I know the contract is not the best (about $45000 USD a year, time off provisions, etc). However, I am tired of being unemployed and have a decent severance package from my last employer that I could use. Cost for a 737 NG type rating at CAE Dallas in $24000 USD. Some opportunity is better then no opportunity, I guess...
Specifically, does anyone out there fly for Lion Air? What have your experiences been like? I have the usual questions, safety, scheduling, maintenance, etc.
More generally, how do some of you like living and flying out of Jakharta? I don't really have any experience flying in that part of the world.
Thanks for any input.
