Lingdee,

This is wings ATR we are talking about. You are getting wings mixed up with someone else.

[lingdee]

Yes pilotchute . It's indeed wings air . They pay to fly with wings air for usd 30 grand on the atr n now almost all went over to air asia x base in klia.

Long dee,

Air Asia require time on type for the 330. Someones telling you a load of rubbish. Wings isn't pay to fly either. Sure your not talking about firefly?

If they are not Malaysian I thought the DCAM Rule was still there
about hiring Foreign FO's. Why would Air Asia X hire ATR Pilots from Wings
last I heard Plenty of Local's to fill Position's.

AirAsiaX is hiring people with at least 500hrs of airline experience as relief pilots on their A330. A friend of mine, now an ex wings air atr pilot, in currently getting his TR on the 330, a Malaysian citizens of course.

Yep thats right, quite a few Malaysian FOs are in 'Xanadu' now, previously on Wings' ATRs...used to be around 30 Malaysian FOs, around 10-15 i think that left for AAX, though a few i heard didnt make it thru the training cuz hey lets face it, from a prop to a widebody aint easy

do correct me if im wrong though
