The rumour seems rather far-fetched. By putting on hold the program, they will lose even more money. Paying people yet producing nothing. They can't just sack everyone can they? If such is done, their management is really.....(i've got nothing to say)...

1994

the hopeful cadets out of flying school...become office boys...clerk...stewards...demotivated,down....and out of flying job!

maybe these guys will be sold to AA in an auction...

anyway boys,just keep your head up....things might differ when your training has finished in a year time...

1994: like 7sex7 said....

from what i heard, the cadet pilot ad recently are accidental, slips thru... they need the cadet pilot in near future when the narrowbody FO goes to widebody but in the meantime they don't have place for cadets that are coming back from flying school.

billkill,
it is happening again and as for mas management....well dont seem so baffled as it is the norm since day one.......

jebat,
think about it my friend...no more domestic routes(almost none anyway) and a drastic reduction on the international front means the 737 first officers will have nowhere to go....so 1994 IS happaning again...

rule 35,

if you have got 4000TT,dont you think this will be a good time to hop into AA and get your cmd on the bus?

Some of the pilots,who started their career later as fo in AA compared to theirs peers in MH,are already a capt in AA while their kawn in MH still an FO with no sight of command...

thanks for the input Rule35, I know for almost 100% that's it's going to happen but I hope there's 0.01% hope that it would be the other way around. Still hoping

94 is happening no matter you like it or not. 300+ cadet in a year is the direct result of poor/no planning by flight ops.

It depends if the management want to retain the top earner,ie: retirees,expats. If they get rid of these people,there will be some vacuum higher up to suck the cadet into the system. However, not all 300 can be accommodated.

They can put some into widebody as cruise pilot and bring tremendous benefit to the WB crew shortage problem and move people across the entire promotion path.However,it is not its norm to do logical things.If this happens,cadet may get to sit(sit only,not fly,ok,ok fly the sim once every 90 days)the WB sooner than you thought.If they extend the retirees to 65, cadet can be a petrol pump boy for a long time.

I heard about the cruise pilot thing but the problem is the idea might get an objection from senior pilots. To tackle this they would only give narrowbody salary for the cruise pilots and the promotion path are going to be different for them as they lack in experience for pre-flight, taxi, take off, after takeoff and descent/approach and landing etc....

It should create place for the cadets but again....

7sex,

Thats what i meant in my thread...i think that would be the best option right now if you got 4000 or 7000tt.......especially if your commitments do not allow you to or do not wish to leave the country.

satumare,
