Happy new year and soft landing.

12,500 rule
This ridiculous 12,500 rule goes for every training provider. It is our friend the US justice dept. that considers every foreigner a potential terrorist. Haven't similar actions happened before in other countries?... To protect freedom the government restricts the freedom of the people, quite an oxymoron.

Saviboy,
I assume you mean March 10th, not October 3rd. And what training facility in Miami was that - Aero Services, Pan Am Flight Academy, Airbus Training Center or Flight Safety?
TIA,

What exactly is suppose to happen??? What's suppose to start/finish/change, .........hell, what are you talking about? 
I'm just wondering because it sure would be nice to see that >12500 rule change. That could be the jump start that the industry needs.

Saviboy had posted the following

Can anyone elaborate on this subject. What "new" background check? Is it related to the 12,5 rule? If it has anything to do with eliminating the 12,5 rule, than I'm all for it!!
I hope that makes it a bit clearer.

12,500 rule
What he most likely means by that is that they (the DOJ) will have a screening program set up for foreigners (resident aliens). However, they where supposed to have that program in place about a year ago. When they didn't, they said they would have it in place a couple of month later.......! Obviously they are dragging their feet and I do not expect that they will honour their promise (Marh 10th) this time around. The only way to go around this is to become a US citizen.

12,500 rule
It is a burden for people in the real world that bureaucrats make the rules. On the other hand, luckily the USA is being ruled by ignorant bureaucrats !!
If you find yourself a guy that owns for example a Cessna Citation requiring 2 pilots. Ask him if you can do 3 T/O's and Lndgs as a co-pilot under FAR 91. After you make your 3rd landing, you have suddenly become current and qualified on aircraft >12,500. Now you can go to a training provider and get a type rating on for example a B747-400. Makes sense huhh!! Boy, am I glad that they restricted my carreer opportunities in order to really hurt these Al Queda types :

Onno,
WELL SAID OL' CHAP!!
As usual, the people that are really paying for someone elses stupidity are the legitimate decent folks. OK, fine, The US wants to keep foreigners out, fine, who am I to say who should be allowed into their country, but honestly, are the training centers doing ANYTHING to solve this problem?? I mean, really, centers like Flight Safety MUST depend on foreign pilots coming for training. How are they serviving? Do they have a choice? Are they putting up a fight? Or do they even care??
In the end, with all the increased security, is stoppping people from being trained on aircraft above 12,500 lbs. really the solution. Is that really where the problem lies? If the security measures are sufficient at the borders to stop the S.O.B.'s there, than does it really matter where they were planning on going??
OR, here's another idea, why not work together with the training centers (that is if they are not doing so already) to determine who CAN and who CANNOT enter the country for flight training. For example, if someone with a Private ticket signs up for a Left Seat 767 course, that should set off alarms and some form of investigation should be carried out, but a person that has been to FS a number of times and has shown some form of typical progression through the industry SHOULD be allowed to enter for further training.
What do you folks think?

'Crats always close the barn door after the horse got out. Notice that they didn't require background checks for students at 'Truck Masters' or 'American Truck Driving School' after OKC bombing.

foreign pilot training is back
Well as of today the DOJ has released a new ruling making it possible for foreign pilots to get their initial type rating in the US on an aircraft over 12,500 pounds. This news can be found at http://www.aviationnow.com/avnow/new...s/doj02143.xml
That certainly makes things much easier! The rule will take effect on March 17th.

Still a crappy deal!!
It still sucks. Why would an airline hire a foreigner if, after it having spend all the money for training, the new-hire could turn out to be a bad investment (after the background check is completed)?
