Hey guys!
I am interested in flying with one of the East Asian Airlines (preferably China Airlines) but I will not have my ATPL. I have read on a section of
CAL's website (in the Q&A section) about training with zero previous flight experience. Do any of you have any experience with their program?
It speaks of 10-12 months of basic flight training in the US and another 12 months in civil aviation pre-qualification training and aircraft-type conversion training in Taiwan. After these 2 years, trainees will recruited as 1st officers...
I am pretty interested in this program but I have heard bad reviews about
flying with CAL in these forums. However, the postings were from 2005 so I assume that CAL's management could have changed their ways?
Finally, do you guys know about any other Cathay Pacific-like (or the previously-mentioned CAL) cadet programs in the region that will train me for the ATPL?
Any input will be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance everyone!
