Opportunities of a lifetym must be seized in the lifetime of those opportunities
 

Guyz this is our Time, This is our moment..... All the best to all who applied for the latest Ab initio recruitment.
Lets pray for each other as we await those all important e-mails

Relax Guys!!
 

Hey all applicants. I am very impressed by the way you guys are managing to keep the pressure of not receiving a reply:rolleyes: and all those other petty issues you have. I wonder whether you guys will be able to handle the mere thought of an engine failure. Otherwise, after application all you need to do is wait for an email calling you to go to the interviews. There is no confirmatory email of receipt of your applications to be expected, though they sometimes send. But there is nothing to be worried about if you do not receive a feedback. So keep your cool guys and you will be called (though after quite some time). Wishing you all the best.

How long did you guyz wait before you received the e-mails calling you for interviews?

Kq Ab Initio
 

kenya airways is looking to recruit about 100 new ab initio pilots this year (2011) so anyone who is a Kenyan citizen apply quickly...

Ab initios
 

You guyz need to relax and wait for interview email invitations,of which you will recieve based on KQs schedule,maybe in two weeks,one month...just keep checking ur emails as frequently as the way you facebook or twitt.Aviators require calm nerves,so be patient.

also heard about the ID problems , I think you can just fill in whatever no it accepts then when you go for the interview change it.. just a thought..

mine took one and a half months

New Cadets?
 

Hey..wassup fellaz..hoping all the applicants and the rest are sailling on well and as most will notice..patience is everything..

Just a quick question..is there anyone coming in the group reporting at 43rd next week?Please be kind to respond...we expect 8 of you guys so if you are here..kindly talk to us..

Hey
 

Ssup Samajor..there is one group that went to progress and another group of 8 coming to 43 in two weeks time..im currently in 43 with a group of other 9..another group will be starting their interview process probably around end of March or April so hang in there and all the best..we could use some more company..

Big name Skillz Kevo!

Down South!!!! anyway, am officially employing you as my mentor in this, and don't dissapoint! are the interviews hard or just easy fllowing? all in all i gotta get downsouth, am praying!!! maybe i'd follow you on facebook. get me there on Samfred Major as my name. thanx! and fly high

Ssup Major
 

Hey,don't be worked up by the process..lets get down to basics 1st..when did you apply?Have u received any calling email yet?Just to also ease your anxiety,if the closing date for the application was say Jan 31st,don't expect to be called within a week from closing date as such..they take time abit and are unfortunately quite sloppy with the process of communication..but if you have met the minimum requirements,expect an Email..not an sms and not a phone call..just an email..then the process will start..
Whether easy or hard,i just advice you have an open mind and don't listen to people..go and judge for yourself but if you have gone through the Kenyan system well..you will hack..maybe tricky but manageable..i'l give u tips when u start the process..otherwise right now ul forget...lol..
Hope for the best..hii kitu utaweza,hakuna ugumu

Someone tell me this
 

Suppose a recruit doesnt want to go to 43rd or to any other flying school in Africa for that matter, but instead wants to give himself the best pilot training this planet has to offer, say in the best flying school in the U.S of A..... how likely is it that KQ will oblige?:ugh:

Whats you definition of best flying training? :suspect:

Ab-Initio program
 

the new deadline is june 2011 so it seems they want very many guys after all

AIRBUS
 

KQ has its own training program if you are to be under its cadet program,the AB initio program..if you want your own training,you go for it and once your done,apply to KQ for direct entry otherwise they have no direct obligation to you if you train your own way..but SA is good,cheap for starters compared to US of A and basics are the same,just facilities may differ so it makes no sense unless basics vary

will the extension of the application period to june 2011 delay the calling e-mails??

new deadline
 

i guess with the new deadline, the all awaited for e mails will just have to wait...patience people..

my dreams deserve the challenge of acquiring the best professional pilot training available. someone pointed out that the basics in 43rd are the same but that the facilities may differ,,,, it just seems to me that those who train with the best facilities must have an edge over the rest of us... not only that, but when you train with the best,,, if you come out on top then surely u are the best. I have set out to become the best pilot this world has ever seen,,,, that demands the best facilities in training, the best instructors, and a surrounding of trainees at the cutting edge of aviation. I am sure it is in KQ's best interest to have the best pilots in the world, especially since they'v been expanding more and more into the international arena

Ahem
 

Thats true as well...but unlike the normal system and curriculums that we are all used to..aviation has standards,international standards..a medium level turn is still a medium level turn whether you do it in the best institution or not,an approach is the same regardless of who teaches you,its up to you to perfect..being the best is a personal commitment that also comes with experience but keep that dream going..its a good motivation.
But i do agree,good facilites make it much easier to learn and more comfortable..but in terms of being the best..work hard..

Hey pal,I suppose that you want the best training available but you have to realise that principles of flight are basically the same,whether you even train using a simulator or try the real stuff.To become a master is all about perfection and experience.When you first rode a bike or learnt how to swim,the experience was the same,whether it was in a grand swimming pool or the local river,same with flying,good facilities enhance your experience but its not mandatory,you'll get more experience when you begin flying for the airline.Cheers.
