Malirm.
Those seem to be good news for the Alpha Aviation in Sharjah.
Do you have any news about the guys from Clark Aviation joining Air Arabia? Some have already joined, and are apparently doing well.
As you seem to be well informed, just let us know.

@ traveller 93
I was expecting to see the rest of the Clark Aviation guys here with Air Arabia since the beginning of the Year, but seems some of them were absorbed into Phil Air Express or about to do so, while others might have heard from another airlines...haven't really heard about their plans, anyways, Air Arabia will be ready to take new MPLers inline training in June or so, maybe thats one of the reasons...will keep you posted as soon as I get any update

Thanks Malirm.
As far as I know, here only 5J and Zest have taken MPLrs. The other airlines that are starting ops in Phils are taking the pilots that are leaving 5J and Air Phil. So far, the local airlines have stuck to hiring only locals with the MPL.
I also thought that AA would be taking the guys in January but, obviously, something has changed.
Will be waiting for your news.

MPL graduates
I gathered:
58 or so are with Cebu Pacific
19 are with Zest Air
5 with AirPhil Express but being trained by PAL
7 with Air Arabia
1 doing National Service in Singapore
1 is somewhere in the Midle East doing his assessment with a ME airline
2 awaiting call from Air Arabia (still)
and 3 still on MPL training (non-aligned) but being absorbed by Cebu Pacific
1 awaiting Base Training (non-aligned also) with Cebu Pacific.
*that is a total of four non-aligned cadets being absorbed by Cebu Pacific.
1 is working on continuing his MPL training in Sharjah
the former Filipino HOT had a lot to do with the placement of non-aligned cadets with airlines here in the Philippines.
He was recently replaced by a Malaysian from Hongkong Airlines

just be aware of one instructor
he doesnt know how to teach... everyday will be like a checkride instead of teaching u how to fly the damn plane! he covers his lacking of knowledge in the plane by insulting you!!! by letting u feel u don't know how to fly so that u will think of him as someone who knows everything under the sun about flying and he always brag that he used to work from the country's flag carrier operating the 747-400. Just be aware u guys whose planning to have ur rating here... and most specially JDC.

It seems Clark is gradually winding down operations with the departure of many of the instructional staff who are not being replaced. Currently the Ground School is closed to MPL, there is only 1 MPL Instructor remaining.
The Flightline has been shut down to operations with aircraft grounded due to safety concerns over aircraft maintenance and flying standards. Clark has 1 Approved MPL Flight Instructor. The Maintenance function is also now closed as the Maintenance Manager was fired this week.
There are just a couple of MPL cadets left, the stragglers from the original intake with no new business coming in, and they are sitting and waiting for someting to happen. They may be waiting quite a while, there are no time available on the A320 simulator at Clark as well, Cubu Pac are using all available slots. A sad conclusion to an even sadder story

Thanks for the heads up benny! I appreciate it.
I'm currently torn between doing MPL or the gradual training in Florida.
I might visit CIA to check the situation.
also, any ideas if the recent grads of MPL cadets was absorbed by airlines?

A320 type rating
Hey guys,
Just wanna ask whats the difference between the A320 first officer transition program and the A320 type rating training that clark aviation offers. If I'll be availing one of these training programs, will it make me eligible for a first officer position assuming that I just finished my CPL/IR?
Looking forward to your reply guys!
Thanks.

Clark Aviation's PPL,CPL/IR + A320 FOT
Hello all
Im new to this forums and this is actually my first post!
I actually just finished my degree in engineering however it isn't something I'm passionate about. My dream is really to fly and become an Airline Pilot.
I'm looking into different schools which offer training here in the Philippines. I would just like to ask if anyone has gone through or has heard of anything regarding Clark Aviation's PPL,CPL/IR + A320 FOT training program. I talked with the Sales and Marketing person in Clark and she told me that they actually already have 25 waitlisted candidates for the PPL CPL/IR + A320 FOT and that the training for first two batches will begin by this year
From reading some of the comments in the forums I'm beginning to doubt the quality of training i will get there. And from what i heard from my friend who is an MPL graduate and now with Cebu Pacific Clark Aviation lacks training planes and their own runway? Is this still the case now? I was thinking of maybe taking my PPL CPL/IR somewhere else maybe in Omni Aviation then take the a320 FOT at clark since they are the only school which offer it here in the philippines.
Any advice you guys can give me or insights regarding the PPL CPL/IR program of Clark Aviation? Thanks!

I have been following all AAG threads for a long time. Positives as well as negatives articles posted, are interesting to read. Recently I noticed some slandering and false remarks targeting AAG constantly on various threads. I did my reseach on AAG couple of years ago. They are not ordinary company. They enter into the aviation industry to become leader in training pilot with a very clear vision and strong financial muscle to support its for a long haul. They encounter severe up and down over the year in Philippines and UAE. My admiration to them nevertheless they always manage to solve them. Today they have placed many credible pilots flying our sky. Some of them I believe in the near future will be made captain of their flight.

Cebu Pacific Air and CAE to establish new aviation training center in Philippines
Press Release
Cebu Pacific Air and CAE to establish new aviation training center in Philippines
- Center to offer training for Cebu pilots and third-party airlines
The aviation academy is scheduled to start operations in the third quarter of 2012 in Clark Freeport Zone, northwest of the national capital of Manila, and represents an approximate US $40-50 million joint investment.
“We are proud to partner with CAE to support CEB’s growing fleet, expansion plans, and training requirements. This will also help make Asia Pacific’s vibrant aviation industry more appealing in the face of growing competition for well-trained aviation professionals,” said CEB President and CEO Lance Gokongwei. “Airbus’ Global Market Forecast predicts more than 34% (9,160) of total global airplane orders until 2030 will go to the Asia Pacific region, of which 5,770 of these will be single-aisle planes like the A320.”
“By partnering with CAE, CEB once again underscores its commitment to enhance the Philippines’ tourism and aviation potentials by producing world-class pilots and crew,” Gokongwei added.
Jeff Roberts, CAE’s Group President of Civil Simulation Products, Training and Services, said, “We are excited about this new relationship with CEB and the opportunity to help meet the increasing demand for high-quality pilots and other commercial aviation professionals in the Philippines and throughout the region. The new training center will be a world-class, one-stop training center for CEB and a hub for training services for other airlines.”
The joint venture will initially cater to Airbus A319/320/321 series pilot type-rating training requirements and will provide “wet” instructor-led type-rating training for Cebu Air’s current and new-hire pilots. Initial, recurrent, conversion and jet indoctrination training will be available to other Airbus operators.
The state-of-the-art training center will be developed in consultation with CAE’s training facilities design team. It will initially be equipped with two Airbus A320 FFSs with capability to expand by two additional simulators.
The aviation academy is expected to provide training for other aviation personnel in the future, such as cabin crew, dispatch, ground handling personnel and cadets.
About Cebu Air Inc.
Cebu Air Inc. is the largest carrier in the Philippine air transportation industry, offering its low-cost services to more destinations and routes with higher flight frequency within the Philippines than any other airline. CEB currently operates 10 Airbus A319, 19 Airbus A320 and 8 ATR-72 500 aircraft, a fleet of 37 aircraft with an average age of 3.6 years – one of the most modern aircraft fleets in the world. Between 2012 and 2021, Cebu Pacific will take delivery of 23 Airbus A320 and 30 Airbus A321neo aircraft orders, and 2 Airbus A320 aircraft on operating lease agreements.

It has been a long time since I posted anything on a Clark Aviation thread and this one is very short.
Can anyone tell me who is actually running Clark Aviation?
Are they still part of Alpha Aviation Group?
Thanks in anticipation.
