Dont do it son,

I was told the deposit of $1500 is payable only if you are NOT type rated.

it seems they're telling you to pay the deposit even if you are type rated.

ask them to send you the application form, it is so fake, like a ten year old made it up.

I bet they will extend the last date of application ''just for you'' if you tell them you're interested but can't pay the deposit until, say the 20th.

Good luck whatever you decide to do.

Regards
MHN

Guys come on!!

I know these are desperate times but really, this is so CLEARLY a total scam.

Anyone with the ability to make a website could make up a story about being an airline agency and then make up jobs to entice pilots with.

Oh, you have to pay me $1500 or what ever it is to apply, desperate pilot pays up and you never hear from the guy again.

I havent looked into it, I just came on here for a bit of surfing but really

Do yourself a favour and never send or pay for anything up front, it has to be the golden rule.

Best of luck,

ST

Skylark or SkySCAM

its definately a scam, the last date for all the application forms seems to be a day or two after you contact them. While all the airlines mentioned by them do seem to exist, but the experience required to apply for them is a lot more than what Skylark is telling.
The website seems real geniune but it doesn't give one address or take anyone's name...
I have heard of a few airlines taking a nominal fee for the application but nothing as large as $1500. And I haven't heard one guy (except Stuart Martin) say its the real deal!!

When you aint worth it..you accuse others.

All you dickheads....I am not writing this post for any justification but when you dont have potential and hours....either you need to pay up for the Job OR be unemployed .

We have special point of contact with our partner airlines and can definately assist poor chaps like you with work.

If these position were offered withour any fees...you bet I would have got zillions of calls and emails from all you ASSHOLES,But the moment we added our fees ..it sounds SCAM for all.

Anyways you all are going great guns and hey We never knew with some US$ 1500 odd dollars we can survive all our lives or change our destiny.

Keep going....you all ******* either underemployed or unemployed GEEKS...

All the best!!!!

CHEERS

Why do you soud so bitter??

Stuart Martin,

Why do you sound so bitter? You are making the case for all on this site the way you respond so unprofessional.

That is, this whole business of money up front, does not sound on the the up & up.


Cheers

m not bitter..

when you accuse someone for no reason ....humans like me does tend to go profane.

Look i never forced anyone ever to pay the fees....all above posts make sense when i take money but dont deliver...

Most of the people who had faith on us and paid the fees did get the Job or got refunded

I dont think its bizarre when i tell the candidates to pay a fees for the Job upfront....all those people who have posted above have not paid us ....so its none of their business to call our services SCAM.

I AM TRUE TO AVIATION COMMUNITY AND WILL DO OVER TO ASSIST AND PROVIDE JOB OF MY PERSONAL CONTACTS TO ANY NEEDY CHAP.

And one more reason I ask for upfront payment coz loads of geeks did get JOB through my support but didnt pay my fees ...

I completely understand people tend to be sceptical coz theres lot many people doing SCAM especially in the North America...

But hey not all are same.

Anyways I have no grudges for anyone who posted **** about me on previous posts...

I would wish all your aviation dreams come true and you guys get what you deserve!!!!

All the best.

Cheers!!!!!

Ha ha ha

Now where did I leave my cheque book.
Ah yes I lent it to a Nigerian Oil Broker.

What a scammer.

The world would be a better place if we could just shoot a few dozen of these people.
They prey on the desperate, the ill and the feckless.

A sad reflection of the modern age.

They Are Back

Looks like they are back in business.

Same game new players. No More Stuart Martin or Shiv Narayan. 2 new guys. Probably the same one with new identities. However, one of them only emails and never calls. The calling is all left to the other guy. So probably it might be one guy only playing both the sides.

Got a call with almost the same deal. Pay $1500 as a REFUNDABLE SECURITY DEPOSIT for verification of all your licenses and details by a third party company following which will be an interview in another country fully paid for by the airline you will be interviewing with. And the amount is only because you are non type-rated.

They even offered to pay the bulk of the amount as a favor and I would be required to only shell out a couple of hundreds just for the verification and rest they can recover from the refund. Why not then pay the whole amount and recover everything from the refund? The last date of application keeps getting extended and you are the perfect fit for the job. How can they even guarantee a job? Isn't it upon the pilot's skills and their interview?

All email addresses are personal accounts. Nothing official. The official website does not work. Nor do any phone numbers they call from. Hell even the bank account is in another company's name. No company details whatsoever in any call or email.

I might have taken them seriously had they at least made valid claims and stuck to their words. Or at least have a legal contract signed with you before they ask you to transfer the money. Whenever they contact you the last date is within the next 2-3 days. Just enough time to arrange the money and transfer it but never enough to make inquiries or find out more detail. They are just as vague on the calls and go into lengthy conversations on how the understand your apprehensions and fears and had similar experience.

These guys sure are desperate and know where and whom to strike. I wonder where they get all the contact info from. Wherever or whoever it is that gives them the info should be the first one to be caught and assassinated. That's the real culprit. Playing with the emotions of pilots already under loads of stress due to the current job market situation.

If you see them coming, don't run. Stand your ground and crush them. Get some solid info about them and then feed 'em to the dogs.

All the Best.
