About Global Aviation solutions
Hello...does anyone know anything about Gobal Aviation? I was approved to go to one of their assesment days next month and actually dont know anything about them or their program....all they said is that they will find you a job once you have completed the type rating course...is this true or just more bull?

hey there,
nothing special, for just 850 pounds+your own expenses, you'll do a 45 min simulator test in which they'll ask you to shoot an approach and verify your spacial orientation, a psychometrical test, numerical reasoning and a psychological test.
If you'll be accepted, you will have the chance to work with Astraeus which consists of 5 planes.
good luck!

Thanks....I did the search like you guys said.....dont know if it actually helped because there are too many contrasting points.....I would really love to talk to someone who has gone through the TR course, got a job with one of their partners and got paid a decent salary to pay off the loan I would have to secure....If there is someone out there please reply...All I want is a little more information than what is out there available and I do absolutely hate to pay for training but these days is just another option for me, not the only one.

Lomax,
Just to correct one thing. Astraeus recruits it's own pilots, and does not have any supplied from Global. However, a number of other charter and scheduled carriers take pilots from Global.
Astraeus has 6 aircraft with a fleet of 8 aircraft for Summer 04.

Those who will pay eventually will understand that it's not all what they said it would be, and once the rumors will start to spread Global will have less customers.
But, by that time they will have already sold enough type ratings/promises, therefore they will be satisfied with the initial income that they recieved before the spreading of the info, so they won't care too much about bad rumors.

I'm not sure where you get your information from; obviously not a good source. I'm also curious to find out what your 'axe to grind' is?
With the exception of 2, every single pilot that is currently undergoing training has been placed in a job, as have some that haven't even started their training courses.

Hi....
OK CH4 you know quite well global....
Tell us then which airlines global work with?
Is it such a mystery?
So according to you Astraeus has nothing to do with global.
and has aslo noting to do with bond aviation solution????
not sure...
Maybe you guys can help me here, so you buy a TR with global (Bond) then they place you in a pool awaiting for departure.
Do you have to pay any line training?
Do you get reduced basic salary?
Astreaus recruits its own pilots.....through bond....
Mabado et tibago...

Hello guys,
Just a small words, because I'm really despointed. I have suceed the assesment, and then I was due to strat the Type Rating course in january. As it's writing on the global site, the course is done to get a job so financial package is avaiable. Global told me that I need to contact HSBC in Crawley, what I have done. The answer was clear, that's true HSBC do loan for GAS students but they don't have special arrangement with GAS. I'm not english, and unless I let the Full amount on an accompt at the bank, or I give a house or appartement in garanty, it's not possible to get a loan at HSBC. So HSBC is like other bank, and unless garanty no loan, so why GAS tell that financial package is avaiable? I'm a young guy who have spent more than 75.000€ for his initial training, I have no garanty, and no solutions to ask money.
So finally I'm really dispointed because I will not have the opportunity to do the course and I'm with 850 pound less in my pocket.
P.S.: Perhaps I don't have talked with the good person at HSBC, perhaps I'm wrong so any advice is welcome...

flyingoli,
Im kinda in the same position as you are, but I havent paid the 850 pounds yet...Since you have already been thru the assesment day, did they tell you which airlines they work with? other issue...Im also not from the UK and I need financial aid, HSBC is the only bank they work with? I dont own anything except books and my car is worth about 150 euros (believe me, its that cheap). I have so many questions that it might be better to give GAS a call. thank you.

GOLBAL / STORM AVIATION
Hello guys!
One question?
Global and StormAviation are the same company?
I also received an appointment for an interview, but I'm still thinking about to do.
Hi, kinda I'm from Spain as well, I'd like contact with you, my email is [email protected].
Happy new year and a lot of jobs for all of us.
Thank you.

Flying Oli, as CH4 is unable to prove like the likes of CTC with Easy and CAE with Ryanair are able to prove: who will you work for. If that is unclear stay away I would say and go to Gecat, CAE or CTC directly I would guess....

A few months back I responded to the GAS ad in flight... At which point I received all the info from GAS, including the 850 bucks for the initial candidate profiling?! It struck me as being massively overpriced. It was at this point I thought I could smell a RAT... and politely told them something about a touching it with a barge pole.
I hope I'm wrong, but I know too many people who are desperate enough (like me) and I know a few others who have taken a loan to put the 737 ticket on their license and are still looking for the first airline job ....All they have done is limit their options and put themselves further into the red.
Do your research, the market is improving and a few more doors are opening. I personally am maximising my options....How piŁ*ed off would you be if you forked out for the 737 ticket then got an interview from Flybe....Do you really think they are going to invest time and cash into someone for the Q400 when they have a jet rating?.
Good luck and wishing everyone a more successful new year!

Exactly ... as I was saying, they are now satisfied with the initial income that they recieved before the spreading of the info, so they don't care too much about all the bad rumors that is going on.

Lomax,
Might you please ask yourself a question, namely how is it that none of the cadets currently completing their training are making posts here to the effect, 'Hey, I've got my type rating but Global haven't placed me with an airline yet'.
Think about it!

They don't post on pprune so they don't get flamed by wannabees who haven't taken that chance and are still unemployed. I know of two who have been taken on by a UK registered company in the last three weeks but they are not about to advertise that fact.
