Current Asian market is 4000+ TT with some jet time, any thing less than that no will even reply.

Air Asia may be interested if you have ATPL & 737-300 type

Well said 7sex7 !!! Sometime its very annoying and irritating with "kids" around.

mdfun810, are you sure AK is not taking any expat? I saw few gwuailos at KLIA few days ago and in many occasions previously in uniform wearing 4 and 2 bars.

Racing Green, I can guarantee you that you will not be accepted and never get a job if you don't try. Give it a shot and see what happen. I was informed that they are really short of pilot even all private cadets in a local flying academy are booked !!! With Transmile (a freighter company in Malaysia), you may get a chance to fly a Caravan in Borneo.

Cheers

What mdfun810 says makes sence Air Asia will not hire expats, coz FOs will get jet time and jump back to EU based airlines.

But they will look at you if get your own type rating.

Plain and Simple:


Air Asia does take expats. It will cost you 29500Euro.

Transmile charges you to fly for them - something like 12000USD for the Caravan and if you've got 750hrs then you can do their jet transition program which runs a little more than 20000USD. Once completed the course you will recieve a salary.

fhchiang,
I think what 7sex7 is correct, you just read news paper but do not known, what the fact is, yyzdub was correct, AA does have expat F/O from OZ or UK how they can be there God's know, the only way to find out go and contact them (AA)

TQ tq tq

VR ,SPeedtwoten-

TQ for ur support,the fact is that we are in this forum is bcos we wud like to know more than wats in their(AIRLINE) website or newspaper-n finding out we re fed with the same info by a "wannabe" who havent completed his secondary school,is really frustrating!!!We wud like to know...wats happening in the real world n NOT some FANTASY fed by fhchiang.

fhchiang,
open up ur eyes n read the comments by VR n speed.

AA does have loads of expats-mostly indonesians,n they have tons of hrs n experience in the 737-2,or some other jets.

Paying EU30k to get a job is not getting a "job' thats mo like buying a job....n I thk there is more to this deal.

hi

as far as i know you need to take the CA6(r.aids,nav,met(T),met(P),instrument,flightplaning) paper and all the technical paper(type tech,airlaw1,airlaw2,HPL,perf A)....etc.as for flying,they will require you to take up certain hour in single and twin engine before they grand you the CPL/IR ,even you have a type rating in single and twin on FAA license.try to contact MDCA or visit www.mfa.edu.my and you will get more information on the convertion.

Regards,

mmmm... that's just to convert to a CPL - I think. Most everyone is looking for ATPL theory subjects to be completed ie. Air Asia one of the better opportunities possibly for you if you're heading back to Malaysia. Best guidlines to use are JAA since Malaysia follows the JAA.

Best of Luck.

conversion

yyzdub,

wat cal_ley was talking is the ATPL paper itself-CA6.the papers come from UK,as per the ol CAA syllabus.U cant do these papers in UK itself cos they hav converted to the JAA.MDCA still not following the JAA yet,n they look at the conversion cases on case to case basis.


Expect to spend about 8-12 mnths for the conversion,n loads of money too...n myb be required to attend the classes for the ATPL subjects too...

cool guys.
my another concern is getting a job after the conversion....im so worried and confused after so much money in my training...
is the hiring still going on in AIR ASIA n MAS? .... they have alot of cadets... is it as long as you are a malaysian with fatpl , they will call u up for the interview , and see how u do in the interview? i knew that employment is not guaranteed if u got the licenses.... but i want to know is an interview guaranteed? at least i need a chance to impress them im a serious pilot....agree? what im worried is they wont even call me up for the interview because of my low hours.. but my motivation is high.
CHEERS!

PS, i wont really call myself a pilot unless i could land a job... i want to excersice the priveledge of a commercial pilot.
that is awesome

mktong,

from what i know AA is currently putting a temporarily stop on recruitment of co pilot. but will resume maybe in 1 month time...dont quote me.

for mas, which i just gone through, will you to have a m'sian cpl/ir with frozen atpl.

-firtsly they will screen your results (SPM,STPM..etc...)
-then MISPA ( some basic questionaire,,maths, eng, logic..personality)
-then, sim assestment, flying the F50 ( a normal circuit and EFATO)
-then, the interview(which of course you must pass all the above)
-medical
-final selection...

hope that helps...

cheers

Thumbs up jobs

mk tong,

I wud say getting a job for the next 2yrs,based on the current growth is not a problem as long as u have Malaysian FROZEN ATPL,n ur a MALAYSIAN.Be it with MAS or AA...

MH is looking to grow their fleet,n AA is going to make some new orders come next yr.never heard any freeze on CO PILOTS intake...even if there is,its just gonna be a tempo thing-so long we dont have another SARS or alike.

MH n AA is still short of CO PILOTS n CAPTs-

get ur conversion done 1st,then u can start talking about interviews!For the low hrs bit,dont worry....most of the FO's here,be it in MH or AA is just the average 200+hrs..
