I agree with Torque Limit , an airline like Lion Air would be a good experience for 1 or 2 years.

I wouldn't be spending lots of money on pre-paying agents etc though.

Best way is to get on a plane and do the rounds of the local airlines for a week.

While the airlines need pilots the turboprop charter operators are even worse off as pilots leave them in droves to fly jets.

Susi Air has been discussed ad-nuseam in a seperate thread but are using expat pilots for their Caravans, Porters and Piaggio mainly because the freshly graduated local pilots want to fly Boeings or ATRs

Interesting thing is the local pilots go straight from C172s to an FO in a turboprop , there's no time building in piston singles or twins here as avgas is hard to get so all the cessnas and pipers are parked and slowly being sold off.

The 2 major flying schools at Halim are currently pumping out 200 pilots a year but its not enough , to my knowledge there are no rotary wing schools here in Indo (other than the armed forces) and the current batch of Indo helicopter pilots are getting on , there are VERY few young guys flying helis up here.

Massey058 , I'd be interested in your comments on some of the freshly graduated Indo pilots , why aren't more flying with Susi Air ?

Thanks for everyone's input however I am concerned about sending my C.V. to an email address that could well of been created by any Joe Blow out there after people's personal information.

Any advice on this? Right now I stand at sending a C.V with my email address only (no physical address, phone number etc.)

Cheers

A one page summary with breakdown of hours ONLY and an email will do. Let them take the next step with legit info...

Torque

You can PM at anytime...
Seems like you're in the know Torque limit. And judging by your previous posts on pprune, you also seem to be pedalling the Eagle Jet First Officer (pay for your own) program, particuarly with Lion Air. Any connection here or just a coincidence?

I think your previous lines explain it all. I have met a few guys who started on Twin Otters out of flight school but jets is where its at so to speak. They are generally disinterested in flying a single-engine turbo-prop.

There are Indonesian pilots currently and I certainly wish there were more because it is enjoyable flying and I know some people who skipped straight to jets say they feel they have missed out. Off the top of my head 2 trained outside of Indonesia.

longrass, dont worry mate. after having read some your posts on this forum, you're about as knowledgeable and credible as any other tossers on here. i know who'd i'd be believing, mate.

And if the posts above is true, then why dont they just come out and say this advert is nothing more than the Eagle Jet F/O program?

I sent in my CV last week to see what they were all about, and just got a message back today.

I reads 'Congratulation, you are selected for indonesian airline. we will contact you for any further asap. regards Richard'.

Im still not convinced its legit.

I also applied for a position with "Indonesian Airlines" and received an sms and phone call today. I'm still not sure about pursuing this, hence reading this thread. The person I spoke to offered an interview / meeting in Sydney with details of where and when in a couple of days via sms/phone.

Anyone else have similar experiences?

Yeah i just got a phone call today also, and was asked to go to sydney for a interview/meeting. Being sceptical I asked many questions to which I got few answers. From what he told me, the job will be flying RPT runs within indonesia, flying a glassed cockpit twin turbine ATR. Sounded good, but he kept refering to the company as an 'indonesian airline'. I asked him directly who the opperator was, and didn't get an answer. He just said that all these questions would be answered in sydney. (im still not sure why he wasnt up front with that)
They will have a couple of intakes, and the first group will be starting ground school within the next few weeks.

Even though im still sceptical I'll be going to the interview just to see what they are all about. Too good to be ture?? Maybe, but you have to find out somehow!

goldypilot, ive been flying commercially for the last 1.5 years, but they are taking low time pilots, according to the guy on the phone, so worth looking into it.

Hope this helps a little.

I bet you 500 rupiah it's the Eagle Jet pay for your own F/O program. Take a look at this thread in the SEA forum.
