new course
I wish you luck for your assessment
after your visit inform us about your opinions so we can plan too
Yes it is short notice but everything changes so fast in aviation and since they are a charter company at the same time their schedule changes all the time
That's why they decide to open a course all of a sudden
I have a friend who used to fly for them
He says they called him suddenly too
He wasnt expecting it, i guess its just luck

This friend? SO he did fly for them and they called him in for the summer or what?
He doesn't have another job now?
What does he say about PGS? Does he like it or what?
Hi DC-8.
Im going very soon to a screening in Ístanul for Pegasus.
Can you tell me a little about how the tests are? I was told that there is an assesment, interview and english exam....
Thanks

Hi daf!
The screening process is quite easy. I had 2 English exams (computer based and written test, the last one with some aeronautical questions as well), English interview with the Training Manager (5 mins. aprox, very easy going), personality test and sim assesment. The sim. was also very easy. The instructor helped me a lot with everything. I had a visual traffic pattern, some step turns (60º) and visual landing (15 mins).
Good luck!

My friend worked for them. He is now employed in Europe.
He was happy but his contract ended at the end of summer season.
He says the assessment is not something we should worry about like DC-8 says. If you are good enough, honest and sincere in your attitude you can be selected.
Good luck,

yes im back. I passed the screening and are going to start on monday.
I have alot to do now. Pack my stuff and fix alot of things. Thats why havent answered until now.
I know 3 people who went last year. They liked it. I am not expecting it to be easy, so i can be positively surprised... We are 4 guys to do the course.
Will take around 6 weeks as far as i know. Will keep u posted on how it is. Are going to stay at SAS radisson hotel during the course with a guy from Rome and we will have dun i think.
It is alot of money, but a kickoff to the carrier.
i signed up for 200 linetraining hours, and will hope to finish them in june. Hope they need me for the rest of the summer also. Other companys might need me aftewards then. I hope.

daf,
I was with PGS many years ago as a contractor. there were many people going through the same programme as you and some through Eaglejet.
A course started mid February will end at the end of March. If your CAA is as quick as mine, it will take approx. 3 days to hold your licence endorsement in hands. Add the days needed for the auxillary courses, and it is mid May. You will then be rostered from the start of the next roster, which begins on the 1st of June. Depending on instructor availability, you will be flying between 40 and 65 hours per month. You will be let go when the high season is over all over Europe.
If you signed up for 200 hours of line training, this is not what you will get (that's not a bad thing): much over 100 hours of line training is pretty much unheard of and unlikely to be necessary. So you will be doing more hours after that for the last month or so, up to 105 or so under Turkish regulations, if I remember correctly.
Good points: nice people, good quality of instructing if you put in the effort. Excellent sim. They will let you copy as much software as you want: CBT for classic and NG, Jeppview, etc. Very varied flying in well maintained aircraft, possibly based in Algeria or Jeddah. Possibly AYT or IST too, I was in Algeria.
Istanbul is an amazingly beautiful city, lots to do and see. Nice hotel. Make the most out of it and have fun!
cheers IP
PS: this is many years ago, things may have changed since then.

The groundcourse is scheduled to last almost a month starting on monday. Then we will go in sim. Dont know where it is going to be.
I hope to be placed in Antalya, but other base is in Istanbul. Not bad. Im not hoping for the summer contract, but it would be nice. They seem very friendly and I know other people who did the course last year. They were all offered summercontracts. We are only 4 on this course. So I hope it will be to my advantage.
The working permit and all, will be handelded by PGS in the begining of the course. And we will be rated on either NG or CL. And then diff. for either CL or NG. It will be a good experience. I am hoping by being myself and being open, that they will like me and vice versa. Dont know when they will start the next course.

PGS doesn't do Algeria anymore. The planes will be busy flying from/to Turkish destinations in the summer time. I am sure you guys won't last until the end of the summer season (you will get many hours during the summer time).
I think they will need you this summer. Lots of guys are interviewing with TK this week and next. You should expect to fly a lot because mostly F/Os are going to quit soon if they get hired by TK soon.
To give you an idea one of the most senior F/Os has a hire date of jan 2005 ish..
Get in , fly , get out. works for both parties..

JAP,
where did you look?! there are over 20 replies on this post during the last 6 months, including some informative ones.
Good luck with the assessment, which is really hard to fail if you have the money. Enjoy Istanbul! IP

The details...
Does anybody know of or who have themselves completed their contracted number of hours with Pegasus and gone on to work for another airline??? Any contacts will be helpful...
Also: What has been the usual number of hours for completion of line training? What kind of sign off and follow up report can you expect?
Thanks for any useful info
