Eagle Jet, the new price of slavery : €49.500

[Tiyara]

50.000euro and we want young.. no older than 35 yrs old.

it must really work for them if they are selective like that.

this is absolutely sad. NO MERCY in this aviation animal industry.

No one controls these figures and business ....

[truckflyer]

I know Adria Airways wants to do something like this, but I don't think they have any NG's as far as I know!

I do see why these and Lo-Co's want young pilots, because us older, will only put up with such "crap" conditions in limited time!

[JQKA]

I know Adria Airways wants to do something like this, but I don't think they have any NG's as far as I know

Affirm!.they just have Airbus..
bt they want to act like an agency and want to do the "same" of Eagle jet and make money with Lion....

[sascha410]

Adria Airways has B737 as well. Company is bought by MNG - Turkish company and they are planning to get tid of Boings.

[Proline21]

I believe Eaglejet has been working with RAM before and I guess it will be RAM.

Due to new laws in Turkey I doubt it will be a Turkish Airline (1500hrs on type for expats).

[Ubertako]

It is for Tunisair and you'll fly about 50 hours average a month.
Does anybody know the reliability of Eagle Jet Int?

[joblooker]

not reliable at all. avoid at all cost...

[B-737]

[flaps35]

No

It can't be Pegasus due to the new turkish rules by the Turkish goverment.
Pegasus needs first officers with Turkish nationality.
It is with RAM you need more then 2 years to do the 500 hours in the mean time you have to live in marocco without 1 pence sallary.50k for the training and a little 15k for the living costs 50+15=65k and all of this for nothing even after 500 hours you will be still siting home and sending application mails.Buy a second hand aircraft for 65k you will get more fun then paying for that mobs,bandits,mafia scamfolk.

[lingdee]

I would say the 737 is with royal air maroc and the A320 with Tunisair

[P40Warhawk]

It is getting a sick world for us. I knew it was bad 2 years ago when I started my training, but it was already bad at that time, so I was expecting little improvement by the time I will be finished. I am finished now since 3 months, and now notice it is even worse. Even Ryan Air is considering to abuse us with 500 Hours programs. WTF. Well I really hope people start to see Aviation is worse then the worst illness on the planet.
No respect for us anymore. It starts to become a volunteers job. We are expected to hold up our hands in the terminal to make it possible to buy bread, and hopefully someone wants to buy us an Cola.

How are we suppose to live? From what after investing so much money for our training?
This all just to help the airlines making profit on our backs. Sucking us out. And not the way we like it.
The CEO's taking their bonusses. Living like Kings in Paradise and we have to live under a bridge. So living in HELL.
I thought it could not get worse, but it is even worse then 2 years ago. Where is it going?
I wanted to fly, because the job itself is great, but I dont want to be my whole life a poor basterd living under a bridge. Not able to start a family. Actually we should start a protest group. Not just stupid talking, but take real action in the way that Airlines FINALLY listen to us.
They are dependent on us. We are trained to fly those planes. Without us , they make no profit.
If they respect us, then we can have respect for them.

[moko]

Warhawk,
unfortunately I cannot agree with you completely. Protest groups, strikes etc won`t help, because aviation is not closed proffesion, there is endless queue of wannabies and in fact almost anyone having money or rich parents can become a pilot within a year or so. Pilots are really easy replaceable, training costs nothing for airlines and there always will be someone willing to accept T&C to get jet job, command etc. quicker than the others. I think that only EASA can somehow stop this ride to the bottom. Pilots are slaves already, our T&C in many companies is factor affecting safety. I hope that accident involving victims will not be necessary to open somebody`s eyes...

[Diamond_Twinstar]

UNBELIEVABLE

So If I understand correctly... Pilots (who are supposed to be 'smart' in the public eye) after having paid sometimes over 100k€ in integrated training plus TR, are actually FIGHTING to PAY 50k€ extra to then fly for FREE? I mean I had been wanting to become a pilot and just that since age 7 but my little brain sees RED here... I was just at an interview the other day where I was told that not only was my TR going to be paid for (on that same aircraft) provided I sign a 3 year bond (Yes people they want to KEEP me not KICK me out asap) but they are also going to PAY me about 30k€ per year. Yes guys, retribution for my work band help ing them make money. It's called a JOB.
Now I know not everyone is this lucky, but if your passion looks like it will destroy your life (except for those super rich guys who don't care) please do something else. Even janitor will pay better. Then with the money saved, build yourself a replica of the cockpit of your favorite airliner and fly it.

[departures131]

I think that is a really good Idea. I myself have a CPL MECIR but don't have any intensions to fly for employment, just for pleasure.


I am looking in to the cost of purchasing an old level C/D simulator and having it re-installed in my warehouse at the back of my house, but until now there is not much information on the net of how much this would cost etc. I am looking at a 747-300 or 737 classic sort of thing, probably to run it fixed base with option of motion. any way I am keen to fly the jets for a little while, whether it be sims or the real thing. have around 200k pounds for the project.


I may even be able to start a small business out of it for genuine airline pilots looking to brush up on there sim skills pre OPC time, or Airline captain for a day style corporate events.

[Sirijus]

I was just at an interview the other day where I was told that not only was my TR going to be paid for

You are among something like 10% of people who got anything as good as that, with TR paid and a decent starting salary. I do agree though that paying to fly is disgusting, but fto graduates are people too and sooner or later they might get as desperate as that

I am looking in to the cost of purchasing an old level C/D simulator

Don't know the exact prices, but a 737 FFS, made still before the fall of the Soviet Union, might set you back around 2-3 million euros if it still is usable and has been properly maintained. There is a 737NG FBT for sale on ebay for 200k $

[pilotchute]

Someone once said that that the way you could tell if someone was crazy by watching them do the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

If you think spending more money will get you job on top of the bucket loads you have already spent you are a little crazy. There are jet qualified people out there now by the dozen who cant get back in the cockpit. P2F does have limited success for a small amount of people. For over 80% I would say its money wasted.

Please stop spending money hoping it will fix your problems.

sadly you're right......but eh, since some of us told it on forums for long time ago, and many suckers call us "negative" people. So, now, from of you see it the truth.
And now you tell what we told long time.

Nothing against you, just to tell people now that it's true indeed.

and I keep telling on forums to awake wannabe "don't become pilot". Or you may but prepare to have your blood sucked.

I don't think it become a volunteer job. No.

I am going to tell you the futur of this job :

since it's impossible to operate single pilot cockpit, legally speaking (320, 737 for exemple), they make this possible by asking the F/O to pay.

economically it is as if there was only ONE pilot on board.

so, expect in the futur, worse than today. F/O will pay until to become a captain. Do you want to bet with me ? I will.

BTW, I left the career for one of these reasons...

really, I feel so sorry for thousands of wannabe, paying huge money for just that.

[pinoyboy]

50,000 euro

60 thousand for pilot training is bad enough and then another 66 thousand dollars for line training ? what a joke ! its amazing that any airlines even pay their f/os a salary since there are so many people (usually from a certain (sub) asian country) willing to pay. fortunately their currency has dropped quite abit in value against the dollar so it makes it harder for them to "buy a job".

[Wirbelsturm]

Then they can come into the industry and tell the rest of us how mean and spiteful we've all been not preserving their future terms and conditions.


Makes me laugh.
