I keep knocking...
I have a B737 rating, and am looking for a job. I will go anywhere, as long as I can make the numbers work (£). I don't even need to eat more than twice a week.
:uhoh: Any suggestions? Other than the usual UK/EU operators that I have already tried and keep trying. I am slowly working my way front to back (and then back to front)through this years Flight International airline directory. Gizza Job! |
flying B737-500 with a B737NG rating?
Seems like a stupid question but here goes.
I know that the 737NG family is the -600 -700 -800 and -900. However I find that some pilots fly the 737-500 with a NG rating - how is that possible? Best regards POL |
A differences course should see to it.
Same applies the other way round (-300,-400,-500 drivers also flying the NG). Just depends which you flew first I guess. |
Yeah that is what I thought. But I have heard something about the layout of the -500 efis flightdeck could have a be of a special setup in a way that made it possible to fly on a NG rating (or was it the other way around).
Maybe someone misinformed me... |
Airlines can customise their 737NG displays to make them look like the older versions (a la Southwest Airlines)
Like This While the standard setup is the new 777-style PFD/ND layout: Like This It is not a requirement however for the screens to look like the old type to allow a differences course, as easyJet have the new-style displays on their NGs which are flown by pilots who also fly the 733s. My guess is that it's just customer preference. |

skyteam-
Heard that there have been some major bumps in the road for the self sponsered type rating pilots. Those guys completed the type training and then were unable to do any flying at all due to the government. I don't know the exact problem but maybe another ppruner may be able to shed some light. All is still in limbo from what I hear and they are going on 4 to 6 months without flying the real bird at all!! My heart goes out to them-spend all that money and then get NOTHING that was promised. I think it is total :mad: I have some friends in that group. I hope it works out for them. My guess is that you might be already type rated with experience and AA is bringing you in to fill the void caused by this governmental snafoo. Be careful and don't end up like my buddies :ugh: :ouch: with no money. Great Circle |
Anyone care to explain why the government might ban expat pilots from line experience?
|
Air Asia were getting away with using temporary working visas and the government has stopped them doing that. It will take at least until the middle of December to issue full and valid passes apparently. This is the reason why the airine has not brought out any more ex-pats.

Well Astraeus have literally just delivered one B737-300 for Air Asia ( with a second B737-300 imminently about to depart ) to Kuala Lumpur - all on a 'damp lease' ( i.e. Astraeus supply aircraft and UK pilots ) - and of which you might be interested to read some of the paragraphs of a Flight Crew Memo issued to those crews this very day:
Until the issue of a work permit, it is necessary to collect a security pass each day. To acquire a pass all pilots require a letter from Air Asia to confirm the need for the pass and reason for its issue. Crew can obtain the letter from the Air Asia corporate offices on the fourth floor of the main terminal building. Report to the security office, the Security Manager is Major Victor Joe Joseph. Your letter will be valid for 7 days and will need to be renewed whilst waiting of a permanent pass. Before reporting for duty, go to the security desk on level 5 of the main terminal building. Present the security officer with your letter, a photo ID (driving licence is best) and pay a fee of 1RM (about 15 pence). They will issue you with a pass and a wrist band. You must wear both and have them visible at all times. Security will keep your photo ID until the pass is returned. Having collected a day pass crew then need to proceed through International Departures or Domestic Arrivals, depending whether the flight departure is domestic or international. Obtaining a work permit will take about one month. When a work permit is issued, Air Asia will provide a photo ID and there will then be no requirement to report to the security desk each day. The permanent pass will also allow swipe access through the security doors. When you have that privilege, do not forget to ensure the security door is closed behind you. If it is not closed the airport security can trace the owner of the card that swiped the door open and withdraw the pass. Ps. I'd be in KL myself, but instead have the delights of the B757 and West Africa routes to look forward too. ;) |
but
Do you know when there are the seleccions of parc?
I've just sent the application...... |
B737 ratings
Thought I`d put some cheap TRTOs out there. I don`t work for any of them and haven`t done a 737 rating with any of them. Surely, this post will soon get abused, but feel free to add any more TRTOs.
TR 737-800 for EUR12500 (approx. GBP 8000) plus base check here. get a quote with these chaps. Don`t know their price, but many go through them. Czech Airlines used to be USD17000 including base check, though this was 2 years ago remember to ask how much the VAT is. - Czech Republic has 5%, Denmark none, Germany 16%, I believe. Czech Republic is cheapest to live (50p for a Pilsener). regards, IP |
Hi I m one of those Air Asia lot and most of them hope to start work in the next few days. Getting a pass isn t that hard. Genuine mistake on Air Asia s side.
|
Puritan/ Little Miss:
I guess the pilots supplied are a mix of newbies just trained and old hands from Astraeus? |
Does anybody know when Parc aviation assessment are?
Cos i've sent them the application form but nobody answered me... |
The mole - in a word, the answer to your question is "Yes".

Cheapest B737 typerating.
Does anyone know any cheap typerating providers. Lufthansa is offering typerating for 16500 euro, do you think I can do it cheaper somewhere else.
Tried to search in spain but no luck. |
Hello,
Im lead to believe a few months back Ansett ( flight training devision, cant remember their name now ) in Australia was offering B737 rating for £8000 :confused: quite cheap... Obviously there would be extra costs like trip, accomodation and conversion i believe. I might be missing some facts here but this was around awhile back. Regards |
|
Shouldn't the question be: who has the best value for money???:hmm:
