Guys, as you are discussing the matter of Employment or Air Arabia Line Training...etc. & MPL
As you all Know, ANY Cadet Pilot Training Program puts the responsibility on the cadet to achieve & pass his training, I have friends in Cadet Pilot training programs in the region & somewhere out of the region (including Mexico), ALLLLLL of them say it, if they don't pass in their training phases, the Airline that is responsible for them SUES them, by Simply asking their Guarantor (who signed the papers for financial stuff) to pay for their "FAILED" Training fee, as an example, there is an airline here in UAE, that has a cadet pilot program & it costs the airline 540,000 AED...if you fail, you spend your life paying back (Some or All) depending on your stage...this is LEGAL, same thing applies everywhere...70 Cadets will find their way into Aviation & into ABY, lets wait & see.
Speaking of Air Arabia, if you remember...a month ago, we had our Graduation Party & of course, GCAA, Air Arabia & AAG were present (Including Parents)...and Of course, Each had a Speech, Air Arabia's Speech was simply...the Best, it was done by a Senior Captain & he said:
"In 2003, everybody went against our Idea of a Low Cost Carrier, they told us that the people here are used to BMWs, Mercedes, Audis & Porche...its impossible to succeed in here, but with time...WE PROVED THEM WRONG..., we belief in MPL & we are sure that it is the right way of training the new generations of Pilots...some people went against it, but, with time, We simply Proved them WRONG"
To Prove that...ABY has stopped accepting CPL holders & only a very very few were accepted into ABY & until this moment haven't had the chance to start their Type Rating...why, simply because MPL has Priority, when you go & speak about MPL with the Management/Training Dept. they show a lots of attention & enthusiasm about the MPL Program.
GCAA is doing its Job aswell, where just yesterday, a GCAA inspector was flying with one of my colleagues to inspect MPLers & give feedback to ICAO...I can tell you, we are doing a Hell of a Job
he was really happy with the Cockpit atmosphere & the way the line training was going on...etc.
MORE CHANGES TO COME
