5-1 year to complete what 750 hours ? Can someone please explain when these MPLs get checked and released to the line ?

Also what if after 1500 , ABY doesn't want you anymore , is the 110,00 AED paid in full to you or is it pro rated?

Would appreciate if someone could clarify on this and the latest delays in each stage

I know you don't want me to answer but:

After 1,500HRS you can move to EY, QR or get your MPL converted to ATPL. (at extra cost)

The 5 > month is for basic flying stage. Selected school is full of cadets.

Lol no beef mate, but it's still not clear ;

Specifically , my question was on the 110,000 AED- I know that it's paid back to you monthly , if you are cut at any stage is it pro rated it paid back in full? If it's not paid back in full this is really bad

What does basic flying stage mean ?! How many sectors till you are released to line and how long does it take from day one of Line training ? What happens contractually when you are released to line ?

When do you know if you are staying or going and on what basis are they evaluating besides operational needs?

And finally the latest round of delays , what's the story behind that?

New selection procedure
 

Hello guys
I have done the assessments at Alpha Aviation on 26th Jan.
I have passed everything however they are saying that there is a new procedures implemented for the selection process. So the management is going to review assessment results of the candidate and further decide for the acceptance.

Has anyone been noticed before or is there anyone knows about it?

What sort of new procedures ?

Ok thank you for sharing . When is the earliest course date this year ?

@Dogkim

That's terrible what Your saying. They keep changing rules and every year the program seems to be getting worse. Now they keep You waiting after the panel interview? Amateurs....

Unless they want to ease You to waiting, which You will be doing a lot with all the delays they have.

I thought I could not dislike this school any more than I already do, they have just proven me wrong. This stinks of arrogance, "we will do whatever we want and treat you however we want and you'll just take it". This whole sham of a programme should be boycotted by all self respecting individuals.

Couldn't agree more, why didn't they tell you this before coming for the assessment ?! Just the sort of arrogance you are going to face throughout your time there.

Earliest course start date is 23rd of April.

More news - since this year there is NO GUARANTEE on 1500 hrs nor contract. Few students left behind with less that 500 hrs...and their 'Air Arabia licence' will not be accepted anywhere. This is SCAM !

Fifi,

Are you sure about this ? I think those students have probably failed or have made the management angry (most likely no fault of their own )

Can you elaborate further ? I think contractually they have to attempt to give you 1,500 hours

They have to give You 1500 hours, unless :)

Unless they consider that You made a mistake/ they don't have enough space/ they are not in the mood they can terminate the contract at any time for whatever reason (and we all know that one can always find a reason) and all your money is wasted.

This happened with few F/O already and will continue.

What are those students going to do ? MPL license is useless elsewhere

It is useless but who cares? This is business Air Arabia style. Is anyone surprised by now?

how was your assessment and the panel interview? Please share more of ur experience at Alpha. Is there anyone else lined up for an assessment with them?

For all of you expecting permenant contracts

Where is the core flying going to happen for the newer batches and how long does it take to get a visa to Europe currently ?

The core flying is at Gair Training Center in Portugal.

It takes roughly two weeks to get the visa and the process will be slightly faster if you apply through alpha.

Crazy bird from your previous posts it looks like you joined around the 3rd quarter of 2015, may I ask what stage your batch has reached ? Are you flying the line ?
