Flying glass cockpit ATR's? Are they talking about the 72-600? It's still at least a year or maybe more away from certification.

Is it asking too much for AFAP to investigate the legitimacy of its job adverts?...
Because this wouldn’t be the first dodgy one I’ve seen on there.

i reckon especially at times like this people could be playing pranks due to the current sitaution people are going through now with aviation jobs all drying up.Its pretty depressing and then you get idiots thinking its a joke.

I think it might be quite right that its some sort of recruitment agency and it may not just be for Lion hence the 'Indonesian Airlines'.

Lion Air have orders for 10 ATR's for their Wings subsidiary, have seen photos of them all painted up but don't think they're in the country yet. They have apparently used Eagle Jet as well as CAE for recruitment of expats for their 737-900ER fleet.

What makes you think that AFAP or the newspapers give a rats ass whether Job Ads are legit or not it's just a revenue stream for them and nothing else....
I agree with Torque... stay away you never know... there are many evil organisations in asia and it's when suckers are lured into an unfamiliar country with no local knowledge all of a sudden you have a black cotton bag over your head and your in the back of van and a ransom note is sent to the address you provided to them in your application
Think about it a CPL and MECIR is not cheap and most people that have these qualifications usually come from privileged backgrounds.. and with the oz government stamping down on people smuggling the triads need another source of income...

A few friends of mine applied but where not selected so out of all the people that applied only 19 where selected, good luck to you all. Opportunties sometimes come around in strange ways.

Given up on QF Wannabe? You need to be over 21 to hold an ATPL. Total time is your total aeronautical experience, not the number of hours you've been alive.

But thanks for the windup .
