Buongiorno a tutti, copio e incollo una mail ricevuta da tal Andy di FlyGosh, già noto per un altro programma su turboprop cinese con Merpati. Questa volta è per piloti rated su A320 ma senza ore on type.
Alla fine è un altro Line Training, dove tu anticipi 49.000 dollari e la compagnia "sembra" ti paghi uno stipendio (si, i tuoi soldi) per un anno di contratto e forse un altro dopo.
Non vuole essere uno spunto per una discussione sul pay to fly, la mia posizione contraria è già nota, ma solo un condividere la notizia per vedere se c'è qualcuno che abbia avuto a che fare con queste persone o che abbia informazioni più concrete sulla Compagnia. Ah, da non trascurare la necessità di pagare 200 dollari per accaparrarsi uno dei limitati slot disponibili per fare la selezione, del tipo chi prima paga avrà il posto. Comunque accettano carte di credito. Ah, ci sarebbe anche lo schema allegato per il compenso e i salari in base al volato, ma non so come allegarlo qui su pprune.
Buona lettura.

First of all I want to apologize if I am not able to answer/reply to some of your question as there are simply too many applications. I will however try to answer some of the common ones below. Don't worry as we will have a Q and A session during that day and all your questions will be answered. My advice is to study up your A320 and CPL stuff and from my past experience, those candidates who ask a lot end up failing the interview and not get the job. Your goal ( for now ) is to study hard and pass the interview and make sure you are successful and selected for the job.
Who are you Andy and what is Flygosh?
You can read my profile at
http://flygosh.********.com/2011/11/...atured-in.html and recently featured in Aviation jobsearch as a cabin crew and pilot expert at
Opinion: Want to become a pilot? Read this first! | Aviation Job Search
If I pass the interview,when will the training commence?
If you pass,they will process your work permit and training will commence immediately provided you pay the first installment of USD29k
When will the results be out?
As soon as possible and may even be the very next day itself. The airline want you guys to start training as soon as possible
How many candidate will the airline select?
We will be inviting ONLY 30 candidates and the top 8 will be selected.
Is the course fee of USD49k to be paid at one go?
No it will be broken into 2 installment ( if you pass )
a) USD 29k upon agree to join this course after receiving the Citilink offering letter
b) USD 20k when all permit ready and 1 week before you are due to jakarta
Is the booking fee Euro 200 or 49k?
Obviously it is Euro 200 and not USD49k.
Who will pay for my travel,visa,transportation and accommodation cost ?
You will have to bear the above cost.
How much is the salary?
It will be an average of USD5000 ( tax free ) per month for 500 hours and below. See attached for the full salary details
How long is the contract?
It will be a 1+ 1 year contract which means that after you finish the first year and with good track record,they will renew it for another year giving you a total of 2 years contract. Indonesia allows pilots to fly 1050 hours max per year and with this you get to clock 2100 hours on type
Should I go for this?
Best you read my advise at
http://flygosh.********.com/2011/01/...ould-i-go.html
Why should I pay since the world owe me a living and I should get everything free for life?
We spend a lot of time and resources to get this opportunity to help you kick start your career in the airlines.If you have this mindset, I guess is best we do not waste each others time so we can focus on candidates who are serious in their career . A lot of potential pilots took the risk to pay for flight ticket and hotel to come to jakarta, knock on doors to try their luck and most end up go back empty handed. Imagine the amount of money we save you guys with this opportunity.
What is this Euro 200 for?
It is to pay for sim as well as admin charges. Also in the past, we have candidates who did not turn up and we want to make sure that we get candidates who are serious about their career. This is a small price to pay, after all you will be getting USD5000 tax free per month.
How long is the recruitment day?
It will be a 4 day event so make sure you arrive Amsterdam on 14 Dec ( Friday ), and you can go back on 19 Dec unless you wanna stay here for holiday. As for hotels, you can check out booking.com and agoda.com or just google online.Plenty of hotels in Amsterdam depending on your budget.
What is the venue and how do I know that my slots is confirm?
After I have received your Euro 200 fee, I will send you a confirmation email on yours slots and provide you the venue for the interview. As mention earlier, we are only inviting 30 people from thousands of candidates and it is impossible to give everyone a chance. If you are not able to secure your slots this round,we will try our best to have another intake next year.
This is fake and a scam?
I guess that is why you see some pilots are flying and some remain jobless for years.The difference between them is one take action and the other one procrastinate and complain
and hoping that one day miracle will happen and pilot job will drop from the sky.
The airline has given you an opportunity, now is up to yourself to grab it and play your part.
Pls do not reply to this email as I may not be able to respond. Good Luck and all the best.Cheers!
Regards,
Andy
