Thank's First day:
1) company presentation
2) CRM Exercise
3) Written Technical Exam (taken from Ace the Pilot Interview book)
Second Day:
Interview
Third Day
Simulator Assessment
- for type rated (i.e. A320, 330 or 340) - EFATO, then land
- for non type rated - play with the sim

Basically, the recruitment pilots are looking for people who'd fit the Air Asia family. Its more of personailty assessment.

I hope this helps.

understand sal is approx 8800USD NET for 85 hrs and bond 5 yrs....RM 100,000k.reduces after half the term is what I hv heard.


anyone has any idea how long it takes to come online if u r not 320 rated from the day u arrive at KUL?

Is there a chance to move up to the widebody a/c?

[squarecrow]

They told me 150,000 for bond.

[320busdriver]

There`s every chance of going up to the widebody but you have to wait heard those bastards in management don`t believe in loyalty many people who have been here for yonks are waiting, they manage to shoot themselves in the foot because they let relatively newcomers to transition to the widebody about 4-5 mths ago, worse most of them were TRI and they left a huge void for the rest to fill but what did they have that were so damn special that enable them to jump past the rest, well they were all ex mas cronies, seems mas tentacles of corruption streches even to airasia.
Also heard that X will be getting their next intake of widebody capts from guess where MAS OF COURSE infact those guys are 737 capts not even airbus rated going straight to the left on a 330 while so many guys on the 320 fleet are being told there are no movement. No wonder the other day a friend of mine called the place QATARMAS with reference to all the new intakes.

Anybody got any idea about Sim check if you are not 320 typed ?

[gottofly]

sim check is similar for everyone.they are checking for your decision making skills and not flying skills.

does anyone know whats the upgrade policy to go on to A330?will there be a seperate bond for that?thanks in advance

[gottofly]

What makes you think they don't?....They have Indian captains and cabin crew....;)...Good day...

[emb145gearslinger]

Maybe because Indian pilots aren't very good pilots generally speaking. I am so sick and tired of seeing whiny little Indians with their 200 hrs and a fresh CPL complain they aren't flying a 777. Whine to somebody who cares.

[poker_pilot]

i would double that emb145gearslinger 100%.........they keep wining and wining all the time cpl with 200hrs...wining and wining.....no 777....no a320....wining and wining open your eye and look out.:D

[a345xxx]

I have seen plenty of foreigners flying for AK...... Indians included.... I believe FO's there is a government problem not AK's. Malaysian carriers can't hire foreigners as FO's at the moment!

I know a lot of guys waiting to see how MH gets around this issue..... and then who knows!

Good luck with all your applications!

Langka, have you edited out the juicy parts?:mad:

[a345xxx]

What happened??????

[bisaya]

nothing special, just another pprune newbie with some loose screws and a spelling deficiency. :ok:

[gerago]

poker_p.... must have had something poked up his six! That must surely led to a really short fuse.
