April was brought up as a possible time for the next intake..however..thats what they said the last time so wait and see.
they may actually do it this time because of the shortage, pilots will be movin up the ranks, IMO the captains of the A320s are gettin promoted to A330s and beyond and therefore they will need more pilots..

flt ops: how does milinda survive all of this? didnt he know the ek/ul deal was nearing an end and that it will result in ul losing numerous pilots.
inflight service: rashmore and his gang must be looking for new boots to lick. how is the primal safety manager aka as the union leader that dumped his flock?

Give Credit where due
Sri Lankan has had a great airline in recent years and credit should be given where it is deserved. Peter Hill and Dick Hutton turned around the debt ridden Air Lanka with beat up old TriStars into a world class operation. The problem in the past was payoffs and croniism. Everyone from the tired old CEO Harry to the past president wanted a piece of every contract. The airline is heading back in the same old direction. Harry wants power back so he can milk the company the way he did in the past. There isn't a potential CEO in Sri Lanka with the where withall to run the airline. They need another Peter Hill to stand up to the president and say NO. Without this, it will be a down hill run from here.
As for the pilot problem. Simple: pay the bucks and keep the pilots. Sri Lankan is paying less than the rest of the world so why should the pilots stay?

The next intake will be much more genuine than the last one; we all know how the 8 guys went to Sri Lankan Airlines.
The 8 guys are all under special influence
It’s a real joke for people who study…
The next intake will be without golf, perter hill, or milinda influence…

Yhh it’s true you cannot blame the entire badge; you have to blame Mil/Hill Group.
The 8 knew even before the first interview they’re selected. That because they had the question bank on their hand.
People saying that to get in Sri Lankan you do not need to know how to fly but how to play Golf with Mil/Hill Group.
The good news is there will be an intake very soon, when the management comes to the local side Golf Kids can go play Golf and people who have flying skills could join Sri Lankan/Mihin Group.
That’s our Mahinda Chintanaya
Good luck to ALL

I'm truly amazed to see how low the people in this industry, particularly in this small country have fallen. To have the capability of bad-mouthing others they know nothing of is beyond excuse. Worse than that is to hide behind a false name while doing it! How can you people really call yourselves "PILOTS"? How I ask you? What really made you choose this career? Was it the money, the uniform and the other perks or was it real genuine passion? I very much doubt it that with sorry souls like you it was the latter.
Just because you are incapable of studying and getting through an exam, does not in any way give you the right to criticise the people that can. Just because you are incapable of demonstrating your skills (if you have any at all!) does not mean that the others that can, deserve to be trodden upon by you!
God forbid that one day you really do get into a cockpit of a commercial aircraft because with this kind of an attitude we can expect nothing of you. Especially in a small community such as this where everyone knows everyone else, you are effectively digging your own grave young man.
I am thankful now I left this country a long time ago for better pastures. If there is one thing I fear in this job, then it is having to be paired up for a flight with an incapable, arrogant snob such as your like. I have spent many moons on this earth and have gone through much. One piece of advice I can give you guys is to clean up your attitudes and your outlooks.
For your added information, I happen to know some of the young gentleman lucky enough to get into the airline this time. From what I have seen, some of them truly deserve it for their hard-work and sacrifice. They kept their mouths shut and did the job that was required, where as people like you just kept running your mouths. This is why they have won the battle and you have lost. Get that through your thick skull and make it a lesson for the next time.
Listen to an old man.
Out.

Hi
just a short question: I have flown thousands of command hours on the A330, however as I´m on the big Boeing now, my A330 currency expired a few months ago.
Would that be a problem for Sri Lankan or the Sri Lankan authorities?
Thanks for any info

Hi
the whole airline seems to be quite disorganized...one day they call me 5 times, then they don´t do anything for a month.
What is really going on...do they have enough pilots or are they short? When are they going through with the European basings?
Thanks for some insight
