How close are you to the GM? Are you sure the GM told you he was fired or you are just spreading lies again?


I do appologize for the terminology, was not offered renewed contract was maybe the proper wording. Saying that though, knowing the way CA operates and how they treat loyal employees makes fired seem nice. MW iws a very nice chap who worked hard since day 1.

Spreading lies again? The truth hurts U mean.

Unhappy Something to think about

If C.A.A.P. is currently having a problem with their status. Being set into a lower category. Can you please tell me any reason why they should even care of taking a chance with Clark's Aviation MPL. Which can be, more of a burden to the Philippines Aviation Industry rather than to help.

Like whats happening now. The oldest cadets are there for what??? Almost 3 years??? 3x the expense , 3x the time where they should be earning, 3x the lost for them.

Possibly studying for Instructor rating in order to build up time for an airline Job.

Are the MPL guys going to be absorbed by Cebu Pac? Right now there are high-time Air Force and genav guys being channeled through Airbus simulator. Some from that group are just now starting IOE. And yet there are already, what, over two dozen MPL students done with sim training who are just hanging around.

From what I understand of the hiring picture for the rest of the year, no new Airbus F/O's will be needed after this batch going through sim and IOE.

Can anyone tell me for certain whether the CAAP is now issuing multicrew licenses? The MPL program guys are still holding SPLs from what I gather. They need 10 takeoffs and landings. If CEB helps out in that department, then what? What license or certificate will the CAAP issue them? I'm asking because I'm genuinely confused as to the status of the MPL program.

It's confirmed. No more hiring for Airbus F/O for 2009 fiscal year. Even this current batch of trainees in the sim are unsure as to when they will start actual line training since there is a surplus of F/Os at this time.

Wowee this is a long thread on Clark, any more updates on this lot?

I heard that only the first batch will be finishing this year '09, am here in the Philippines and was talking with them on Hot air balloon day - going to go down and have a look around their facilities next week and ask a lot of questions:

I'll look through this thread first, and if anyone wants any specifics answered at this stage jot them down and ill print them all out to ask personally and report back here.

Sorry for bringing up an old thread but might aswell keep it all in one place.

I don't think 70 hours flying time would suffice for an instructor rating, especially now that there is a new CAR.
yep for sure...

they will have to build more time as 70 hours will definitely not cut it.

A certain retired PAL Captain who is now working as a consultant for the CAAP is stalling the MPL approval of Clark Aviation. He used to be the Chief Flight Instructor of CA back in 2007 but management was not happy with the way he was running the training program. Ironically He was not happy with management so one day he left and never came back.

The sooner MPL is approved by CAAP, the sooner these cadets will move on to the next step in their aviation career. Sadly though its not really all that well with aviation given that the Global financial crisis is still in effect. Even 5J is not spared.

Licence

Assuming MPL was approved what does the physical licence look like? Is it also the booklet type as the CPL ones?

But I think they have changed the booklet one to simple two face card which is not of a good quality either.

Hi guys / gals

I have initiated a thread on the Middle East forum regarding the MPL programme. It is being done by the same organisation conducting your training.

Could some of you be so kind as to to relay your experiences with the MPL programme so far to our pilot brethren in the Middle East?

Please go to http://www.pprune.org/middle-east/36...e-caution.html

Your constructive comments would benefit us all.

Thanks,

Airbusbatics

Hello!

I do have a question:

How come the MPL program chooses the A-320 or a B-737NG for the trainee's type rating?

Is it because.. those represent the future of jet airliners?

Thanks!

They are on their "Indoctrination" training already with Cebu pac. They will have their TAGS on a real A320 sometime this month.

Best of luck to them. Im sure they'll do good just like in the trainings!

wow

WOW.

this is sooooo amazing. this can only help to prove whether MPL really and does work so a development like this is always welcome.

they claim to be asia's first MPL? because Alteon was just "beta testing". by the way, and my apologies for inserting a different topic, but does anyone have any word/ link on how Alteon's graduates are doing now?
