i don't know what's been happening to the ground school but as for the flight line, CA owes more than a debt of gratitude to OMNI, our full-time flight instructor, and our part-time flight instructor... without them, consider all of us cadets forsaken. also give credit to the newly hired instructors waiting for their R2120U rating, they help us cadets by prevent us from rusting while waiting at least a week to fly pre-solo sorties.
a second level D A320 flight sim is on its way, awaiting cadets for their type rating and Cebu Pac pilots's training. CA's doing it's job, but everyone feels that they can do more if they ought to accomplish what they said they'll do.
cheers.

ETIHAD foreign CADETS
Etihad launches global pilot cadet scheme
By Murdo Morrison
Abu Dhabi's Etihad is launching a worldwide cadet scheme for aspiring first officers as fast-growing airlines in the Middle East and Asia battle to recruit enough pilots.
It will complement Etihad's existing cadet programme for UAE nationals, which started last year as part of a campaign to convince more locals to train as pilots with the flag carrier.
Although global demand means the pool of experienced first officers is rapidly draining, this is believed to be one of the first times a major carrier has promoted a scheme to train and offer jobs to foreign youngsters with no flying experience.
Etihad plans to launch its first course around June, with a group of 12 would-be pilots. Two further intakes of 12 will follow later in the year. The trainees - school-leavers or college graduates - will move to Abu Dhabi where they will do around 18 months of ab initio training at Horizon Flight Academy, followed by several months of instruction and line-flying under supervision as second officers. They will pay back their fees over eight years as bonded pilots.
The airline, which is expecting a "massive response" to its first advertisements, is looking for "people with a passion who are committed to being a pilot as a long-term career", says Etihad's executive vice-president operations Richard Hill. "We will be selecting from the top percentile of applicants - the cream of the crop," he adds.
A total of 48 students will join the separate scheme for UAE nationals in the first year. The airline is keeping the two groups apart initially because of different skills sets and competence in English, but they will be integrated as soon as they begin their flying careers. "We want to make sure there is no divisiveness," says Hill.
Etihad has a fleet of 37 aircraft and will take delivery of 16 more by 2011, including seven Airbus A330s and four A320s Dubai-based rival Emirates says it has no plans to launch a similar scheme, although, like Etihad, it runs a cadet programme for nationals.* Flight International will be covering Etihad's plans in detail in our Careers in the Middle East supplement with our 8 April issue.
Separately, the carrier as a major sponsor of Ferrari F1 this season the team unveiled its 2008 livery at the Australian Grand Prix

sir FourStripes:
i don't believe i said it was brand new. i've heard rumors of us cadets being shipped to HK for the A320 type rating if it so happens that the current sim can only accomodate the Cebu Pac pilots
. the fact that it's on its way should be reason enough to look forward to something in this school. nobody knows when, but any welcome news is better that not hearing a thing.
to think that's probably a long way to go if one were to consider the flight line's program... i'm happy that our core flying phase will be moving swiftly once the new instructors get rated, but i try not to think how long it's gonna take to finish IFR training (given the present situation)... or once that's done and commence the type rating (or everything else in between). it's bad enough for Cebu Pac that CA's making them wait, but personally i think the delay gives us cadets more time to be engrossed in flying... even if it only means sitting infront of mock-ups or bunk-flying inside the cockpit.

Very polite request!
Would everyone who keeps posting in English and then breaking out into using short phrases in other languages/tagallog etc please refrain from doing so. It really does reduce the Situational Awareness of those of us who don't speak the language, and takes a lot of sense away from your posts.
Thank you in anticipation

no I was not referring to that post in particular. Just perhaps the part of it such as
and previous posts where it all appears to be getting a bit fractious. I am certainly not referring to that post in the manner which you are. As I said, I simply placed a polite request, that if contributors could stick to English it may help those of us that do not speak Filipino etc to stay with the flow of the discussion.

i know katangahan talaga. kaya siguro nasa clark av pa ako. kung wala lang akong binding contract sa ceb pac, aalis na din ako.

You have served to prove to everyone here what was already known by many. You are one and the same and/or acting in cahoots with Manina, who previously published the report on the other thread. It only demonstrates the real intent of you and your small gang. It also identifies your real identity, as that report that you have published was of limited and restricted distribution.
That constitutes a serious breach of confidentiality on your part just to add to the increasing list of your misdemeanours. Breach of Confidentiality Agreements is a serous issue, covered by law. I'm surprised that you would advertise your guilt for the whole world to see! Another "home goal" I reckon.

accomplish what they say!!!!
this new management only knows how to talk and spend money.. that new guy thats running all there just not that good. they worry more about the employees that us students. employees were forced to resign and if they wanted to work for IH, they could at a very low salary, yet they pay him Php300,000/month. One of there workers at clarkton even told me he was fired for compromising his position
I wish they would get there heads out of the butts and get the school going the right way. i dont ever thinks thats going to happen. i even heard IR was scolded by students asking about a rumor that the flight school would be transferred to another country.
we student should stand up for our rights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
again, what about us students, WHAT DO WE GET OUT OF THIS?????

@smbl
if you can picture a rookie ball player with a good upside, that's Clark Aviation. it's a great program on paper but the school hasn't produced a Multi-Crew Pilot's License holder like they said they would 15 months ago. i recommend the training however 4 Million pesos is a huge gamble considering that the school has 4 planes, 1 active flight instructor, 1 ALSIM flight trainer, 1 level D A320 simulator (fully booked with Cebu Pacific base/recurrent checks)... for about 90 cadets in the flight line this time, 40 of which are doing the training at OMNI under a lease agreement.
@puliszaido
that's a rumor alright. most of us are either too embarrassed to tell the truth or just more focused with the training anyway. it's bad enough to fly one pre-solo sortie once a week if weather conditions permit, i'm just posting because i'm bored and i'm waiting for my turn to fly solo. hopefully i get my chance to be released next week or this weekend.

Etihad cadet program
Hello Wannabees,
Any of you out there tried applying for The Etihad Foreign Cadet program???
Have you heard about it? They're recruiting individuals to be trained as one of their own Pilots. Cost of training is FREE, of course, but you have to serve the Airline for a Minimum of 8 years( this is unconfirmed number).
Check out their website under Careers with Etihad, I believed you can submit your application Online. Ads are out as well on Flight International Magazines.
I hope some Filipino "wannabees" will find this Challenging and interesting.
I know for myself I'll try this if I am still a Wannabee.
Cheers,
C1052

Good Luck on the upcoming solo flight. I know that you can do it! is 3543 flying already?
BTW what does you Dad think of the delay? Aren't your parents worried that all that investment in CA will go down the drain?
