FO

Thanks for the reply, I am looking for an FO position there.......

[supercooltemperature]

Capt only

AAsia is taking expat Capt but for FO they prefer Malaysian (maybe due to regulations). Try Vietnam, India or Middle East. Good luck.

[kwaiyai]

Affirm supercool DCAM have restricted Foreigners to apply for FO Position.
Regards,

747 suggest you apply to Jetstar/Pacific in Vietnam.

Jetstar/Pacific

Looked at the website and all they offer is a cadet program...I am not a cadet and already am B737 fully typed. Are they hiring experienced FO's ?

[CAT IIIB]

Try Malaysia Airlines.

[Left Wing]

Try Vietnam... Pacific Air

[Fair.Pilot]

Try any other airlines, as F/O you're paid peanuts!

...one of the ex head of safety cpt.. just flew FL 400 on aA320...stay away.. ....apparently due to dual rated A330/A320..

[ramblingrotors]

Heard thru the grapevine that an AA plane had a near miss with a helicopter in Labuan a couple of days ago. Apparently he was on wrong frequency and talking to the wrong controller, Brunei radio. Can any one confirm this?

[GlueBall]

Billboard ads say that Air Asia [Malaysia] is all A320 fleet, . . . no more 73s!

[Fair.Pilot]

AK pilot flew FL400 on A320?

Can someone verified? BTW this is a losers' airlines, my thread on other subject was deleted by some smart alect there.

[angelgabriel]

yes it is true,some moron captain flew his 320 at flt level 400,the f/o must be a moron 2 for not doing anything... stay away from aa..bunch of idiots running the airline..from flt ops to the fat bangla.

near miss...wow they must be trying for a new record after having so many hard landings in over 7 months..the clock is counting down to something big if they don't start improving.

[lesenterbang]

I'm not a 320 pilot, but isn't the service ceiling of the A320 FL390?

[cochise]

you are correct, that's the point! But the 330 is 41,100. Hence the dual type rating crack

[QAR]

FAT BANGLA...I JUST LOVE THAT NAME..THAT NAME JUST SUITS THE AIRASIA CEO WELL....

[wakala]

cpt..ex air force dude HAD PREVIOUS INCIDENT while flyin biz jet...heard a female co pilot voice..AK pilots shld work in airbus under certification division...eg hard landing checklist and flying above aircraft ceiling..but sure being a mgmt pilot..they would let him go..like many other mgmt incident..air force buddy system...
