My thoughts are just that. The loan does not cover all the expenses involved in training you to check out as a K.A. pilot.If the rate of fleet deliveries slows down the training will be affected.I recall in 1990 when they had recruited its first ab-initio and B757 orders were cancelled due to market and economy at that time.The ab-initio scheme was cancelled.What might happen is they might delay it it after signs of financial recovery.&ust keep monitoring the dailies and contact the training department fior a more accurate outlook.It is early days yet.I think some staff will be asked to leave.

LOAN
The money used to train the pilots south there doesn't come from KQ coffers and in case a trainee pilot does not make it during the training, KQ usuaLly has an insurance plan to compensate them so all the money that u use for your training down in SA will be refunded back with interests. That's why people will have debts that might stretch for about 10 years.

I'm the one who took the medicals after you guys and haven't heard from KQ also.An overwhelming level of patience is required because KQ really do take their time and am sure there are reasons but it can be so frustrating
