I want to work for Precision

Gentlemen,

Undoubtedly the discussion has turned out to be quite lively but it would be most helpful if I could get the following info about Precision:

1. Entry requirements (Lic/Hrs)
2. Can you start on the ATR
3. Where do they train pilots for fleet
4. Upgrade time to command
5. Pilot pay(if you already have 3000+hrs - no turbine)

Thanks to all,

LimpopoHippo

As far as I know, rumour has it............

You can get in with no time at all. Your time is more than enough, you train in France and you pay for it yourself. Not 100% sure but I think they fly you there as they get KLM discounts. Also I belive they give you an allowance while you are there. Yes you can start on the ATR, unless you are a Tanzanian you will NOT get command, well if you do you will be the first. Pay I am not very sure I have heard different figures, the most common is 2000USD per month and you get some overnight allowances etc. I have also heard a crazy thing.......You pay for your training up front I think its 20 000 Euro and then you are still bonded, ie not free to leave when you want.

If you have 3 000 hours why dont you for the same money get a 737 200 rating and upgrade it to a 300 and gamble your left over cash and try to win back the cost of your training. You will be making a better choice.

HellDoggy Dog!!!!

That sounds about right!!!!

Limpopo the choice is yours remember the deal doesn't get better than that as there are no promotions!!!!

With that in mind it will take you a long time to pay back your 20000 Euro loan!!!

And remember as you will also be bonded for 3 years you cant just jump ship for a company with the same type that pays more money!!!!!!

Enjoy!@!!!

I'd rather go for a Jet personally!!!!
