.........and money. It doesn't look like this is appealing to too many guys with the experience required by reputable airlines.
Good luck boys and girls...... you may need it

Regardless of the reasons why they are recruiting, it is still a very good opportunity. Beats the hell out of flying bugsmashers. multi crew environment, airline operations exposure. Whoever takes it on, after the 3year bond is set for life. By this time the industry will probably take a turn for the better, lots more aeroplanes will have been delivered and you can practically take your pick at who you want to fly for. Good Luck.

And what's the bet some guys will even use Merpati's poor safety record as an excuse to break the 3 year bond when they find greener pastures back home? It's happened before (with SQ in the early 90's when they hired GA pilots from Aus, Canada and the UK) and I'm sure it will happen again.

Can't speak for a Merpati cockpit, never got invited. But know even a Merpati Check Captain stupid enough to try to get me to do something unsafe or that I wasn't satisfied with would get short shrift.. The complaint and resignation would be offered on landing, no matter what the terms of the contract.. Have spoken up in the past, and it has cost me - but at least I can still sleep well at night.
The advice is the same to those F.O. Trainees who accept the offer, do what you can to improve the reputation of the company you're working for, gain skills to improve your own situation and marketability, and leave if you have to if it means survival. Just sitting around moaning about others didn't get Kingsford-Smith across the Pacific that first time..

GA FA Recruitment in Japan
Hello all,
I have read most of the threads here. GA made quite a lot of accidents before, aye. Their safety policy is now getting better than ever, according to the newspaper. I'm not sure when they got the permission to fly into EU country but GA is now finally accepted to land there. I hope they reach the world standard of safety soon.
I'm applying for GA cabin crew in Japan. They do have some of them, but this time officially is the 1st Japanese crew. Very very first one. It could be hard to make the base of foreign cabin crew, because there are no those who experienced from the same country. I am very interested in both working with Indonesian crew and making the standard for next coming up crew.
I'm glad I could listen your opinions about GA here.
Thank you all for being patient about my English grammar. And thanks again for reading this. Arigatou.

Shame
Well, HTFU, perhaps people are ashamed at the dissapointing outcome, and feel embarrassed to admit they were wishful thinkers?
Dont I sound pessimistic. But, its GA that has broken my spirit.
When I finally get into an airline, and have a REAL job, Im going to make and wear a t-shirt that says "I survived GA"
No wonder people aren't becoming pilots anymore. What a joke of an industry.

There's another MA60 type rating course starting in July and the manager has been asking for recommendations from the Aussie recruits.
Merpati will be taking delivery of 3 MA60's from China every month from July through to October. A total of 15 MA60's will be operational by the end of the year.

The course instructors so far have been speaking Bahasa Indonesia in class but there are a few people in the class who are fluent in both English and Bahasa and are helping to translate. The course participants are not just the Aussie recruits; the majority are infact Merpati captains changing types from CN235, F100 and B737 to the MA60 and some have a reasonable level of English and have been very helpful.
