Have a few friends there working. They are constantly taking pilots on. You have to self fund your type and line training which costs something like 40 to 50 thousand USD.
Overall if you need the experience or your foot in the door to the aviation jobs, this company will get you there. They have 2 A310 at the moment, which fly to all ends of the Earth (and to some really strange places) all year round.
Good Luck

Basic salary 7000usd, based on 50 hrs per month based on 3 months roster,
so if you fly more than 150hrs in 3 months you get 75usd per hr normaly
paid on the 5th month.
You must pay transportation, company club membership, coffe and tea, your own accomodation in Jordan, every training course or sim the company offers
(CRM initial or recurent...etc), and you must understantd that these payments are not optional.
As for flying, you are expected to be on standby all the time, and to fly to
almost every destination you do not want to be, like Bagdad, Erbil, Kabol..
Enjoy

hello,
Jordan aviation is not the best airline to work for, unless ur just starting your aviation career, and have no options. Amman,Jordan is a very expensive city to live in.....i mean extreemly expensive. Heard them about six months ago going into monrovia,liberia. Mainly United Nation Charters. Word for the grape vine, says they been banned from flying into Europe,however i cannot confirm that. All the best, I advise you look elsewhere.
regards,
skygod

Evidently they pay your initaial or recurrent, and then one is required to reimburse them per month at a percentage of the cost of the training, plus an additional 15% of that training cost.

A spin off company of jordan aviation www.aspdjordan.com does all the financing. Whether initial or recurrent they finance the cost plus 15% surcharge and then reduce monthly off ones's payback. If one is inexperienced probably a way to get time. Experienced people probably better off staying away as they are cheap, and the place is run as a one man show who is the president.. They have just started a new airline named Alexandria Airlines in Egypt with a couple of 737's i recall.

MCP PANEL B737/jordan aviation
Hey bro,
Dont let me expose your B-737 flying around with no LVL CHG button on the MCP Panel. Or all the money laundering happeneing with Alexandria Airlines in EGYPT. Alexandria Airlines is the next FLASH Airlines......REMEMBER THAT. STOP !!!!it right there or i'll go public. Its a pitty that murders like you, fly families around the world for an extra 100 usd from khashman.100usd to fly airplanes with major snags. Poverty, and proffesionalisim dont go together by the way, so find another career.

mick06 before you come on here trying to insult captains who have gained their licences from proper flying institutions you should try buying the oxford dictionary to help you with your english.
also some people can dream about the left seat because thats as close as you will ever get to it.
for your information the congo licence holder as you mentioned is orginally an oxford UK CPL/IR and ATPL graduate which you can only dream to have in amman!!!!!

I can confirm that nobody has flown any aircraft on any fleet with a dead engine in jordan aviation.
Whoever is feeding you such information mick06 is taking you for a ride most probably because you are a fool!!!!
We have some excellent captains in Jordan Aviation and its a pleasure working with them. We have some demanding operations so its good to know that Im flying with good guys. I can assure you that these guys are very experienced and have great knowledge. To learn from feels very rewarding and for that I thank them (Knowledge is power something mick06 will never have
)
Im not going to deny that things are perfect here because they are not just like everywhere else in the world but if you dont like it you can
leave.
We are not a cathay pacific or emirates and will never be them but we certainly know our jobs!!!!
one last thing mick06, fack is spelt as the following: FAKE

Jordan aviation is great for new CPL pilots, as they will be able to fly
big jets and accumulate jet hours needed, and I personally know
so many young pilots that got jobs with major airlines in the region
thanks to initial Jordan Aviation hours.
It must be great to have an Oxford CPL/IR, but the B737/300 rating was
acquired from the Congo, and as far as I know and I might be wrong, Congo
do not have any B737/300 training centers!!!
As for duty time limitations, I think the crew should be responsible
and never accept to break any rules, that goes too for technical
problems and any exceeding of weight limitations, after all it is their
lives and licences that are being jeopardized.
