nameisnotimportant: try call hj azman, my friend called hj azman and asked him about his psychomotor, he pass and will sit for his psychometric in July. As for now Hj azman only have results for test taken until 7th May. The results for 8th may and beyond is still with the management.

chriskong57: if you have sit for your psychometric and they didn't call u yet, i believe u pass the test and will be called for interview in August. For this year there's 3 batch, July, September, November, and then February 2005, April 2005 until they got 200 cadets. Try to contact hj azman to get more information.

If you have a father as a pilot or have a pilot relatives, they can make sure your turn, turn up faster.

btw, did any of you guys applied for Air Asia Cadet Pilot Scheme?

hi fhchiang,

I have been reading a lot of your posting.
It seems to me that you know much of the
"class 1 medical requirements for the malaysian standard".

Can you share some of your knowlegde regarding the class 1 medical specification with me?
I need to know more about eyesight limitations.
Perhaps you could share us all a link ( if there is one ).
Thank you.

I'm not sure if it's applicable in Malaysia

chriskong57: yup it's hard to get in contact with hj azman via phone because he still running the psychomotor test so most of the thime he is not at his place. I'm going to see him in 2 weeks time to check on my results.

I'm referring to batch that are going to MFA as cadets. Hj Azman said that the first batch is going to MFA in July. The next batch will be taken in every two months.

Well in Bolehland it's always like this, you must know somebody to get what you want.

my friend applied for SIA while he is doing his degree in MMU. After they found out that he's still studying and didn't graduate yet they told him to get his degree first and apply again next year.

Just want to share with you that SIA prefer graduate and so do MAS even though the min req. is SPM. Last year's batch there's 10 degree holder and only 2 with SPM, straight A's. My friend is one of them and their average marks for each test is 93%....

If you want to go straight after SPM make sure you got excellent grades unless you got 'connection' because there's time that I heard there's one cadets failed and become a steward in MAS because he got in using 'cable' and don't have the qualifications and qualities to undergo cadet pilot scheme.

I love to talk on anything relating cadet pilot. If anyone of you have any info feel free to contact me at hafizuka at yahoo.com

Thanks Jebat and Fhchiang for your sharing, really appreciate it.

I would really like to share a thought of mine too:

I truly believe everyone in this forums are really passionate wannabes who wants to get a place in the flying school (including myself). All of you have my respect.

At least, we are all here to find our way to our dreams and am trying really hard getting information from the internet and books. Doesn't matter if we will reach there or not, at least, we have tried really hard and the rest, we leave it to God.

Therefore, i will sincerely congratulate anyone who can get a place in the cadet programme, and i really wish and hope that all passionate wannabes will get a place.

Compete among oneself, not against others.

yuan.

Jebat,

You seem to be very well versed with what's going on in MAS.

With reference to the 'shortage of cadets' in MAS, should i go ahead and apply even though they do not have a ad posted in the papers or website? Will they consider me for the current intake?

and also, is there a specific address i should direct it to? I noticed you mention that you handed in your application personally at MAS Complex B. Is that anywhere near the Subang airport, as i would not mind handing it personally too (live in Subang).

Thanks in advance for your reply. I'd appreciate any feedback from anyone. Good Luck to whoever's applying to be a Cadet!

SCC, the specific address is
MALYSIAN AIRLINES, HR RECRUITMENT & SELECTION, FIRST FLOOR, ADMIN BUILDING 4, MAS COMPLEX B, SULTAN ABDUL AZIZ SHAH AIRPORT, 47200 SELANGOR DARUL EHSAN
You need a detailed resume, certified true copies of certificates, academic transcprits, identity card, contact telephone numbers,and a recent passport photo.
The place is on the left hand side ( if you are heading towards Subang Airport) and just before the Subang Airport. As for handing in the form now I have no idea about that but you can always go there personally to ask since u are staying in Subang, not like us need to fly across South China Sea.

Chris & Virtual,

Thanks to both for your prompt replies!

Virtual...Yes, I am aware of the ad posted in the Star on the 19th of June. However, I believe one of the requirements states the candidates "Must possess Malaysian ATPL or Malaysian CPL/IR with frozen ATPL".

That does not seem like a roll-call for cadet pilots. Anyways, I think I will just give it a go. What hurt will it do eh? I'll probably hand it in next week. Will keep you posted on any updates

Chris from East M'sia?

SCC, the ad posted on 19th june are for those who have already graduated from flying school on their own expenses, have their flying licence already and now they can try to find a pilot job with MAS.
For the cadet pilot the ad was out on 21 Feb. 2004 before SPM result was out.
No harm in trying ...
yep. East Malaysia

HAha Seems like Hj Azman is a very popular guy and a personal friend of everyone in this forum!

What would his position be anyway?

Thanks jebat. I will look him up real soon. Or at least attention my application to him.

I have met Hj Azman two days ago. Was following one of my friend as he is so anxious to meet him. Praise God I pass the test and will be going for psychometric on 22nd July. One more good news is that I'm going for the first test for Air Asia cadet pilot scheme on 10th July.

I have asked about next year and he said that if they failed to get 200 cadets by the end of this year most probably they will advertise for cadet pilot again next year.

Hj Azman rocks hehehhe....
