Cabair351,
I actually remember now that I was offered by SimCenter an Indian posting in their B737-400 and A320 but declined it as I didn't want to go to India.
So, they are doing the same thing as what Eagle Jet is doing. Just be patient and they will eventually respond to you. Otherwise I'll forward you the email they've sent me regarding the 737 TR and job offer. The job only pays 4K USD a month though.
I think that should be enough to live on and pay back the loan for the training.
Anyone else who wants the info, let me know and I'll forward it to you.
In regards to the requirements, my guess is just as long as you have the CPL/ME/IR that should do it for the TR and job. Alteon here in Brisbane, Australia can even put a B738 or A320 rating in a Private pilot's license let alone a CPL.
So goodluck and go hard. See you in the flight deck.

I would be very interested in the info as I was offered 500hrs on A320 in India by the same company but was told that there would be no remuneration as they classed it as training.
Was your offer from awhile ago?

JetABro,
I think the offer was going back in December 06. I'll check my email when I get home. There was payment for this as it was for a B737 job. Maybe the option you have taken is in the A320 which I know are all training flights.
With the A320, you only need 100 hours on type to get the job. Not 500.
Try and re-negotiate, tell them this is the requirement and you would want to pay 1/5 only as they only need 100 on type.

Altiplano,
I totally agree with you and wangfunk in this matter( Not paying for a TR), But Southwest as being the leading LCC (even if they believed so) isnt much of their concern, they're not going there anyway, and for sure they wont be seating beside you in that small cockpit of yours to be harass and ostracize.
So, unless you are a Spaceship out of this World pilot, then you are exactly just like the rest of us....SUCKERS
Too bad we dont have the money to afford a TR when we started, but this Newbees have, so what to do.

Paying for a Type Rating
Altiplano,
As far as I am concerned there isnt much difference in somebody paying for their ab initio ATPL/CPL/IR training and another person paying for a Type Rating.

How do I get employed by Cebu Pacific?
Hello Kapabayans,
I recently moved here with my family to Dumaguete. I was told that Cebu Pacific and PAL are hiring pilots. We are from the States and I have an FAA Commercial license Instrument rating with a total time of 1,600 with 200 hours of muli-engine (piston) 7 hours in a turbine.
My wife and I will be going to Manila to obtain my dual citizenship and will be going to the ATO to find out how to convert my license to a Filipino pilot's license. I am new to this country and I will like very much how to play the politics here.
I have a several questions regarding getting employment as a pilot for Cebu Pacific:
1. How much is the conversion for my license' with the ATO I heard from somone they paid $3,000 to do it. I also heard Ate Fe is the person to speak with regarding the conversion.
2. My time is not current. I have not flown for almost a year. Will they accept my time and will they get me current?
3. Is there a weight requirement? I am overweight.
4. Do I need to pay for training? I understand It is $1,750,000 pesos with a 5 year bond? Will they pay it provided you stick to the bond?
5. Am I better off going back to the States to support my wife and kids?
6. What the schedules like? Can I go home to Dumaguete every few days? Or I need to be based in Manila? Other operations at home allow a pilot to go home and others require to stay in Manila.
7. Is there a blog on how to pass the interview? How to pass the training?
8. How long is training and is is paid by the company?
9. How long is Captain upgrade?
10. What is 1st year pay as a SO?
Thank you for all your help and fly safe! This will be a great help to support my wife as she goes back to school for medicine. I deeply grateful.
Sincerely,
Filam

Just to go back to this paying for a TR etc.
I had to wait until I was thirty before I even had the money for a CPL/IR. Am I bitter towards 20 year olds with afluent parents? No, that's life. We all make our own luck and make use of whatever resources we have.
One distinct advantage to paying your own TR is not being tied to the airline. You are in charge of your own destiny.
17K is nothing. If you, like me have to work in the bush for a year then the loss of earnings alone is way more than 17K.
As to getting the respect of people with a chip on their shoulder even though their actually some of the lucky bunch who made it, I'm sure I can live without it.

Paying for TR
Gooneybird,
I worked for 5 years as a programmer before i had enough money to start my CPL/IR training and now for another 10 months, albeit with the help of a loan, to pay for my TR. Unfortunately no affluent parents here buddy....

We would seem to have our wires a little crossed here bro. Either you didn't read my post properly or, I didn't write it well. I was basically agreeing with you and others on this forum that paying for a TR was a good idea if leads to a job. Hell I'd buy one tommorrow if I could definitely get a decent airline job.
I wasn't implying that you or anyone else on this forum has afluent parents, nor do I care. If someone does, good luck to them. Do what you have too and damn the critics; that's my attitude.
Cheers,
GB
