Bahrain Government Tamkeen will pay half of the training cost to help Bahrainis - not a loan.
Sound economics

Well, yeah.
They're doing that for a lot of sectors, not just aviation. Even in aviation alone the initial contract between Tamkeen and GAA is to train 1200 Bahrainis, the majority of those are NOT for pilot jobs.
In the Polytechnic for example, Tamkeen offers sponsorships for Logistics, Engineering, and ICT students (not sure about the new majors that were introduced recently), but not for Business students, god knows there's a lot of those.
In addition to sponsoring education and training, they're sponsoring start-up businesses.
Money spent to benefit nationals is not wasted money

no, those guys really love to take their sweet ass time in everything they do. I called on Thursday but apparently they'd already left for home. I'll call again tomorrow.

The intent behing the MPL is simple......Interview and get appointed by an airline as an MPL cadet.....complete the MPL training at a reputable organization, upon completion of your MPL course..return and go to work for your airline that contracted you BEFORE you laid out your cash for the MPL...any other course of action is risky at best, and leaves many high and dry with a useless certificate....you cant even rent a 172 and take your mates for a ride....

ironbutt57,
I can't figure out why it's so hard for people to understand the huge gamble they are putting themselves at! Why the term "calculated risk" is non-existent among those aspiring pilots while considering this MPL training scheme?!
GAA has brilliantly failed to meet the predefined target for its cadets. It's very clear that GAA could not fulfill its promises to Oxford graduates! Didn't you notice that up until now they have never had the guts to officially announce the graduation of their Oxford cadets? It's because they know that the next logical question will be "& for which airline have you placed them after more than one year since the graduation of your 1st batch? The 2nd batch?? The 3rd?? The 4th?? The 5th?? Anything?!!" NONE!
Okay, they had a very messy Plan A for the cadets to work at Qatar Airways and obviously it didn't work one bit for various reasons! That's fine...But here is another couple of questions..."Where the hell is Plan B?! & where the hell is Plan C?!" What on earth are you going to do with your jobless cadets?!" The answer is... Non-existent!
This is undoubtedly, and without any sort of exaggeration, a huge organizational failure! They have screwed around 100 cadets from Oxford and yet they are actively looking forward to screwing another hundred with MPL at Alpha!
This is what you get when you depend on a group of the most consciously uncompetitive people that you would ever see and learn about in creating "airline cadet programs" in any part of the world!
Wake up young boys and girls....
Good luck!

Regarding AAG, it has been run by a bunch of crooks from the beginning and there is living proof that they don't fulfill their employment promises, after the MPL training has been paid in full. What would that be called?
A lot of money for an useless licence....
A few threads have run on PPRuNe since 2007 and they can be checked by those interested to know what type of an organisation AAG really is. The latest threads are here
http://www.pprune.org/middle-east/42...cademy-30.html
http://www.pprune.org/south-asia-far...iation-60.html
They will promise an interview with an airline, as mentioned by their employees here on PPRuNe, and nothing else. If you fail, they will wash their hands off you.
Talking about AAG employees.... they have ordered one to move away from this forum and to delete all her posts.... others have gone silent and even those FOs from Sharjah are staying away.
Wouldn't anyone question, WHY????
Be weary, very weary about AAG's business.

Prove that I'm wrong.
