Pegasus Situation and Interview for cadet
 

Dear All,
I'm intrested to partecipate at the selection for cadets in Pegasus.
I've applied with them and now I'm waiting for the call for the TR and Line Training.
They said that the TR will be in April 2010
Anyone of you know something specifically about Pegasus (Or work in this one)? Is there any possibilities to proceed after the Line Training?
thanks a lot in advance!

Hi TB20...good times on it :)
Where did you find advertisement about cadet scheme recruiting for Pegasus?

Ciao :bored:

They do have a few nice friendly people within that airline. Get ready for the sun and heat when your there, also the pollution in istanbul and remember to drink more water.

Nothing much about the interview apart from explaining a few things about your background, sim test is just basically a circuit in the B737.

There are job prospects within the airline after completion of the line flying hours (qute a few friends do work in there) aslong as you complete the line hours in there standard and there are vaccancies available.

Hope this helps and goodluck.

Oh, sounds good and safe. I wouldn't employ you beyond it.:ok:

Hi I-OHDB!

Can you tell me something about this scheme you applied for?
How much are the costs? How many hours will you fly?
Based in IST I assume? Do you receive any salary?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers

Well it is supposed to be a type rating and line training course! You are not supposed to really know how to fully fly the aircraft. The scheme is aimed at the fresh CPL/IR/MCC graduate, though you are supposed to know the basic principles of flying the B737, so please do get a sim session with an instructor before you go.

DME11.2:
The scheme consists of ground school (including first aid and emergency certificate) then 40 hours simulator flight hours shared between you and a partner, this includes a flight test for the type rating and one 4 hour session for the differences training on the B737-400. Then you do the base training, after that you get 100 hours line training both on the B737-800 and sometimes on the B737-400, you maybe based in istanbul but this may also change dependant on where they need pilots during your training. Training is all completed in istanbul. No salary during training or line training. Price may have changed, but was something in the region of 24-26k euros the last time I heard about it, though that was sometime ago...

Hope all helps.

Brian304:ok:

Thanks for the reply Brian! I understand you went through it? Did you get a job offer in the end? They have lots of 737NG on order and are planning to add an additional 23 to the order if I'm correct, so I guess they will need some people the next years ;-).

Thanks a lot Brian for your information! I hope that my interview would be perfect! Becouse it is my first Line Assessment.....And I'm very happy for them call!

Dear guys,

As far as I know a few guys (1/2) are still there after the line training.
Just be sure to get as much as hours you can.
Turkey is really nice place.

When you are discussing job in the end of your line training you have to separate between a contract during the high season and a one year contract.

You have to be without safety pilot before 70 hours in order to continue the training and then after line training (100 hours) have a chance for a 6 months contract. But to get a one year contract after this you have to either be married to a Turkish girl or they really like you, less than 5% chance. Since they know most expat pilots leave after a while they just use this pilots during the high season, don't expect to get more than 500-600 hours on type in the company. It's not like the RyanAir scheme.

Rumours say you now have to pay 1500€ for the interview.

I heard from pilots now flying for them that the environment during training and contract period is not friendly any more, and can be very bad. I think this might have to do with some training captains are getting really tired of this constant horde of new pilots several times a year. It's a factory.

There is already a long thread about pegasus if you do a search.

Well i'm not too sure on the current status of the scheme, but the interview used to be free of charge with pegasus flights and 1 night stay in the radisson hotel all paid for by the airline. So there wasn't much loss in going for the interview in comparison to the other type rating companies which require you to pay upfront for the interviews.

Its also true that you have to be without safety pilot before 70 hours, basically you have to be demonstrate you can fly and land the aircraft safely if the captain becomes incapacitated on your own. It also true regarding the length of contracts, most of my friends got 6 months and renewable after that depending on the airline needs, some have stayed and some have left. The magic 500 hours is most airlines requirements so theres not much complaining about that if you get it.

Also depends on the captains you fly with, it varies between each of them, some are good and some are bad, like most airlines you get some you like and some you dislike, welcome to reality...

What is the average amount of flight hours per month? And could you tell me something about the bases for pilots?

TIA

Hi guys, how do you apply to pgs?
The recruitment page is all in Turkish.

new customers
 

you know that you all are taking the places of those who already paid for it and in 1-2 years there will be new customers taking your places.

At the end you will be home as the others with no job having paid to work after ruining our job market.

There is no future.

I cant believe that people are first to jump on ryanair charging for TR's when these sort of schemes are going on unnoticed. Its completely short sighted to think that with line hours you will then be "ok" and can then enjoy the airline lifestyle for the rest of your life.

Think what your saying! your willing to shell out such a vast amount of money to chase a "prospect".

YOUR FLYING REVENUE MAKING PASSENGER FLIGHTS AND BEING CHARGED FOR IT!!!!

sad times indeed.
