TYPE RATINGS : Why sooooo much ????

[CrazyStuntPilot]

Don't believe that you be offered a job just because you have a type rating. Plenty of pilots bought their type ratings and were not offered a job. And if you don't have a job flying the airplane you paid to be typed in after 6 months, your TR is pretty much worthless unless you pay for an expensive proficiency check.

The most surprising thing is the Boeing Training (ALTEON) charges half the amount.... and i don't think the training standards will be less....

Plese share your views... !!!!

(Also... How does it matter what training school you choose ?? Since you would be trained by a curriculum setup by BOEING... how does it matter... everyone is gonna follow the same curriculum)

Dont be fooled. A name like Boeing doesn't mean better training or what matches the DGCA needs. It also doesnt mean they have the mind-set to train low-hour pilots like yourselves. Be careful. As I said before - go with the training provider who the airlines have confidence in and use themselves. That will tell you whether the airline would possibly accept you.

And why does it matter who? Well, because many wont get you through and many dont match the needs of the DGCA, that's why.

737NG type rating

Dear Ridge Runner,

First of all, I would appreciate if you do a little research before posting a reply tht might influence some poeple here.

The organization in question here is BOEING TRAINING AND FLIGHT SERVICES perviously known as ALTEON training.

The place has almost 16 centers across the world, is run by BOEING INC. themselves.

The training provided is by boeing instrutors and examiners. The course is in full compliance with boeing SOP's and practices. One of the best places to train. As a matter of fact Jet Airways has sent a batch of thier trainees to Alteon in London Gatwick.

Yes thier course is priced at USD 14000 which does not include MCC and LOFT training. Addition cost for the same is USD 3500. Which puts the couse cost at USD 17500 in all. This is in full compliance with DGCA requirements.

Now why should someone pay 32500 dollars to CAE when they can do it here at half the cost. Right?

Well here's the catch. Their minimum requirement to enroll in thier course is a total Time of 500 Hrs with Multi-Engine Experience.

So most Ab Initio CPL holders in india do not even qualify for thier course.

I am lookin at training at this organization because i have previous JET Experience which puts my total time over 500.

This is not entirely true. It depends who you are training with

You might be offered an interview, but not a job.

Hey all,

Any idea about CAE bangalore? How much do they charge for the A320? Also, how is the training they provide over there? If any of you have a contact number/e-mail ID for them please do pass it on. Appreciate all the help coming my way. Thank you

[Ridge Runner]

You are, of course, entiled to your opinion zee zoo. Tell me, though, do Jet or SpiceJet take Boeing students? That's the meaure I would go by. Also, if Boeing are so good (your opinion) why dont they training there (apart from the free training that they get as part of aircraft purchases). The fact is .. they don't. So, ask yourself why..... RR

@ Ridge Runner

Yes..... Jetairways sends its candidates to Boeing Training for Type Rating. And not only that. If u look at the SOP's of Jet, Spice, Air India...... All of them are from ALTEON(Boeing Training).
