MEA Cadet Pilot Program 2006
Good news for Lebanese aviation hopefuls,
Middle East Airlines - Airliban has just announced their first cadet pilot program for this year. Some changes from last year include a lower minimum age for applications which is now at 19 years old. Also female applications will also be accepted this time around.
MEA Cadet Pilot Program 2006
Successful applicants are sent to do an integrated JAA ATPL course at Flight Training Europe in Jerez, Spain under the provisions of the UK CAA.
MEA is currently facing a large number of retirements in the coming 5 years and needs to replace something like 50 of the 122 pilots currently on roster.
There are plans in the near future for fleet expansion. An A330 will join next year and will most likely be a lease from ILFC. Also there are plans for regional jets/props in the coming years however this is yet to be confirmed and is a developing idea.
Good luck to all who apply!

just a question: MEA is an airline with a fleet of 9 aircraft, is it nessisary to have 122 pilots?
I'm not familiar with what the average ratio of pilots to aircraft at other airlines is.

I have been recieving many private messages and emails from people who are non-Lebanese and wishing to apply to the MEA cadet pilot program.
Let me emphasize this so that there are no further confusions. Middle East Airlines Airliban will not accept applications from non-Lebanese applicants because it does not suit the airline at this time to take foreign pilots.
MEA is a small airline serving Lebanon with only 9 Airbus aircraft. Currently there are no foreign (non Lebanese) pilots flying for MEA. In the early days we had many many pilots and flight attendants from all over the world working at MEA.
However MEA today is only catering to the Lebanese population because the Lebanese youth needs a guiding light to move towards and companies like MEA create hope for future dream jobs such as the position of flight crew.

"I wonder why...."
I think it’s only fair. Correct me if I'm wrong but for all the airlines around the world that offer cadet pilot programs they only take their own nationals. In Europe for cadet programs airlines only take EU nationals. In Asia Cathy only takes Hong Kong nationals, Singapore and Malaysian Airlines only takes their nationals, and same applies for Qantas, Emirates, and Qatar. So it’s only fair that MEA would only take Lebanese nationals

meadreamer: Check your PM
JS3: Glad to hear that you've been reinvited.
Hey everyone!!!!
I've spent sometime searching through some of the threads on this website and I found a few things that might help us for the spatial, abstract and mechanical reasoning tests, and at a later stage the pilot aptitude test. They were posted by people applying to other pilot programs.
-This is a sample of the spatial, abstract and mechanical reasoning test used by Qantas:
http://www.qantas.com.au/infodetail/...ent/QTests.pdf
-This is the website for a company called Morrisby (according to the threads I’ve read) they make the mechanical tests for a lot airlines (and other companies) they even have a sample on their website:
http://www.morrisby.com/test_takers_..._questions.asp
-The company that does the pilot aptitude tests for many airlines (and maybe even MEA) is PILAPT, on their website they describe the test step by step, but unfortunately you can’t try it. (it will be helpful in the later stages)
http://62.3.209.83/pilapt/Header.htm
-And of ALL the places I searched the only pilot aptitude test I know of that you can take for free is here:
http://www.epst.com/
These tests don’t seem that bad, actually I think they are pretty fun. I’m sure MEA's must be similar in some respect and they cant be that much harder. My biggest worry is the Bacc. II math+physics exams, because from what my relatives tell me the school system here in Canada is a bit behind the Lebanese one, but I’m going to study(my ass off) and hope for the best.
Anyways, Its been pretty hectic for me. I just wrote my last university exam Tuesday and I got the invitation for the phase 1 tests on the Sunday before. My flight leaves Toronto tomorrow. I'll be in Beirut on the 21st of April. I’m going to spend most of the time before the exam date, studying, but I would like to meet up with you guys sometime in before the exam.
Good luck guys, I hope that helped and I hope to meet some of you before the exam.
-This is a pretty Awsome video of an MEA A321 landing over Beirut:

don't get over-excited guys
guys you have a long long way ahead of you... and a word of advice, don't get over-excited about this selection process. because at a certain point a lot of you even the highly qualified people can get cicked out due to a very simple reason just like maybe 1 Kg overweight or some blood unstability or anything. so don't buy it until you sign the contract.

useless studying
do not attempt to study.
that's what i did at least.
it is either you know the topics or not. and most of the questions are logic related.
or basic mathematical stuff
