Pegasus Airlines
 

Hi people,

I am planning on going to Pegasus Airlines and hoped that there are some people on this forum who are currently flying at Pegasus or have completed there line training over there and give me some info on the selection and the line training.
Thanks!

as far as I was informed a week ago, they have put a freeze on all new line training programs and they dont hire for now

I got a msg from them saying, there was a TR and Line Training program starting in November(probable starting date is the 10th)
:rolleyes:

I guess your best bet is to call'em up directly cause I received an email from their head of training last week stating the freeze on the hiring and training. He also mentioned that they were gonna post this info on their website aswell.

I had contact with them yesterday and she did not mention any freeze on the line training I really hope this isn't the case cause I'm pretty much running out of options here but thanks for the replies an I'll keep you guy's posted.

I'm hoping for a contract with Pegasus, if not I am on the market with 100hrs and then Jet airways in India is a option.
Is there anyone here flying for pegasus in the past or present??
Thanks!

Jet Airways?? Did you just say that?? Well, Indian DGCA passed a rule this June that no F/O can be a foreigner:=. the right side seats are exclusively for the Indian citizens. And right now, there are a lot of indians already in India with a B737 type and 100 hours or more and they are unemployed. Not to mention a few SpiceJet pilots who were recently kicked out.

Good Luck:E

Anyone know how i can apply to Pegasus,anyone got an email address for them?Anyone on here from Jet X Primera?

Well, I'm going to try this one more time, is there anyone with experience regarding Pegasus, as it seems I have a interview there this month but no date yet...
Please let me know if you have any info regarding the interview process and or for the line training either public or pm.
Thanks!

If theres anybody on here who currently works for Pegasus mail me,i would like to talk with yee.

Are you guys paying to go fly for an airline?? Man, that's just wrong.

Da:mad:d Rich Kids!! I wish my daddy had a million bucks on his account, but unfortunately NO!:ugh::ugh:and even if he had a million, I would use my brain:ok::ok::ok:

thats indeed wrong! but thats how that airline works

I was just wondering if these guys were recruiting,i have no intention of paying to fly with them

Pegasus has already stopped recruiting for this winter as far as I know. More vacancies would become available during spring, giving prefence to the guys who are still completing their line training programs successfully and Turkish Airforce pilots, as it is obvious.

You pay to fly, there's no doubt about that.

The difference is Pegasus does not garantuee a job after the course, so, this can not be called recruitment. This is a flight school for TR.

So, why to pay 25000€ for a TR if there's not a job after it?

thanks but there are better opportunities!

No need to worry about the interview or asssesment,its basically a chance for them to meet you and talk about the training and line training scheme,i havent heard of anyone who failed it.
The training and instructors are very good,you can be benefited but you should take some considerations first.
When you have a talk with the training manager make sure you make everything clear eitherwise you are going to be surprised later when its going to cost you a lot more from what you planned.
First important thing ask him about the length of time (type rating,time to get work permit and line training),a fair estimate is 6 months.(6 months without salary!!)
Also ask him in details what you are going to be charged for line training,when it will be completed and if possible to show you the line training contract eitherwise you will have a big surprise!You wont be told anything about extra line training costs but you will be given a contract to sign when you are already commited after they received money for your type rating and at the end they might ask you for more money.
Another advice i could give you is that if you are finally engaged in Pegasus keep looking for alternate employment at all times,they do not guarantee employment but even if they say during your line training that you will be given a short contract do not count on this,you can be thrown out.Last and most important thing,DO NOT TALK.Expressing an opinion,complaining or even talking to your coleagues is not tolerated,you will realize when you are there what i mean.Basically they are not fans of democracy,just like their governments.But i guess thats not only in Pegasus,dont forget you will be living in a country that is not famous for their democratic values.
These are the main considerations,if you play your cards right you can win.
Your decision,i wish you good luck!

Hi all,

It is very clear. If you are not up to standard they let you go, just like in any other company. Some people seem to think that paying for the rating and line training automatically gives them the right to have a 1 year contract. To my knowledge it only happened once (since the start of the line training scheme), that people with contracts didn't get a new contract at the end of the summer. This was last winter. So to put it clear once more. You do the rating. You do line training and line check. İf they are happy with you they give you a 1 year contract. This can be renewed every year as long as there is a need for pilots.

PS. Some people apparently feel the need to start a political discussion here about democratics. Please don't comment on things which have nothing to do with the situation at Pegasus Airlines.

'It is very clear. If you are not up to standard they let you go, just like in any other company'.

It is very clear also that this is a flight school mentality,definetely not airline mentality.Many serious companies when they train someone they do it because they have already given him a contract,they dont make experiments with peoples careers ,use them for 3-4 months,recycle them and then use the next ones,open ur eyes a bit,look outside Turkey and u will see what im talking about.
If you think political situation in a country is not relevant to a discussion about an airline company you must be naive or very young.Everything is relative,even the air we breathe has to do with politics.
Why is this product of 'line training ' that Pegasus sells not offered in most countries in Europe for example,this has no relation to politics?Or do you think only Pegasus had this clever idea?
Do you think a company for example that does not offer pension or does not follow precisely duty limitations would be allowed to operate in Europe?This is also not relevant to politics?How is the situation in Pegasus or Turkey in general in this matter,you must know better...
