The latest expat groupe without B737NG expirience in CAL (july 07) has to deposit in the Megan Bank U$D 21,500.
They could split half at the start of the ground school and the other half before the type rating check.
They had another two guys with 738 experience who paid U$D 16,000, same option of spliting the deposits in two.
The pleadge is for three years count from the route check, so it doesn't include the ground school and the sim period.
During the ground school and sim the salary was U$D2000 (taxable 20%) plus the hotel accomodation (no breakfast).
During IOE training, still have the hotel and the salary is increase but not full salary until the route check.
You would have 10 days off between the type rating check and the IOE training.
But CAL doesn't allow you to fly JUMP SEAT in their flights until you have passed the ROUTE CHECK.
So you would have to pay an ID90 fare with CAL plus you don't have ID90 with other zed career before 6 month of employment in CAL.
It would be good to have USD 500 for the CAL sector plus the full fare ticket from the CAL destination to your home town.
Those were the numbers almost three years ago.
