In the end, I opted to go for CPL + IR in Canada or USA.
I thought "hmm....job guarantee with MPL, sounds awesome" and I e-mailed clark, Rick Norman's reply came through saying "Nothing is fully guarenteed"
I'm just gonna stick with old way and get employed in LCC in Korea with TT250. This is my plan.

is it really affordable?
hi, on the clark aviation website, the cost of the MPL program is stated to be USD75,000, and the program will be completed in 12 mths.. it goes on to say that this is actually a very gd deal for the price we are paying.. however, i understand that a CPL course elsewhere would actually cost much less than that...
comments anyone?

Hi dude!!
As i've heard from the cadets at clark, it is definitely 75K USD, but 12 months completion, hmmmmmm..... at this moment i believe, this question is still hanging...
I've heard that batch 1 and batch 2 haven't started their flying phase yet, though they are through with ground schooling still they cannot proceed to accomplished flying core because number 1 reason is: The aircraft's
C of R and C of A haven't been released by the regulatory in philippines which is ATO.
Second, eventhough these documents were released, there is not a single flight instructor in the island who holds the rating for this aircraft..not even ATO... This is the first time Alpha Robin aircraft will be used in this country (Philippines)....
Now the latest i've heard was that batch 3 have completed their ground schooling last Aug which means they will be joining the qeue with batch 1 & 2.
Now, is it still possible for Clark Aviation to achieved that promised "12 month" program????? Nobody knows!!! Even the school administrator themselves are not transparent with their milestone
.
I am one of those who are planning to enroll but at this time, i think i'll hold my decision first until such time i hear a good development like batch 1, 2 & 3 are already doing their flying core....
Hope that this thread will catch their attention and do some positive actions on their part...
You can inquire with paolylo, he seems to be in the program, i think he'll know more than i do....

Zone 220,
the program set by clark aviation is achievable, each course or batch as you call it still has 5 weeks buffer after groundschooling, that is why each was given a week or 2 off.
the aircraft's documents a re already on process and the latest i've heard was they will utitlise a cessna 172 for course 1 & 2 for their core flying.
From there i dont think there will be some delays. Maybe you should go and visit the school sometime and ask for yourself about all you queries, i believe they are transparent enough to give you info that you need to know.

CIA has purchased some Alpha 120 aircraft. I have not seen them flying with students yet, just sitting on pads at Omni. There were two with RP reg and at least one other that appeared to be getting markings applied.

applicant with scoliois?
I would like to ask if one applicant has a Moderate Scoliosis can he still be accepted as a student at Clark becuase I have that condition and I'm worried if that would disqualify me as a trainee if ever I tried to apply?
thank you very much and looking forward to your response.

^with the delay in the flying phase of the training, i'd say they'll be 3-4 months behind schedule... my guess is april or may of next year unless the school plans to rush them to fly the 70 hours.
we were told that one of our school's Alpha 120s will be flight-tested this week. perhaps it's about time.

i can't speak for Gulf Air and i have no comment about would-be cadets ultimately working for them. i've also heard about that as well but i can't confirm if it's true.

Fact or Fiction?
Hi guys, I know that some of the batches GOT THERE 50% scholarship at CIA even without Cebu Pac. Why do they continue to accept students even if the MPL is still at its beta phase?
I also know that the entrance exams were most likely just a formality. Everyone passes it, and no one fails. Why?
Not to mention that the Living quarters for the students isnt relaxing. I believe that Rest is an integral part of studying. The beds hurt your back and there is not enough space to study.
be sure to research and study something thoroughly before you even attempt to enter a school.
Sometimes, too much enthusiasm can lead to disaster.

What??? But they (CIA) were the ones who said that the assessment was necessary in order to test if the applicant can qualify as a pilot.
My point is, what is the purpose of the $200 dollar assessment if everyone passes it? In my own humble opinion, people without the necessary dexterity and motor neuron skills arent qualified to become pilots. Aviation is not a so-so career, one mistake can cost a lot of human lives.
Are'nt they just using the surplus of students to fuel their company's financial needs?
@ .Aero
I now realize the importance of what you are saying. I have learned my lesson in life.
