What's the problem with being bonded?
Does'nt it mean that you will have a job waiting for you? Maybe conditions aren't as rosy as you would have expected, in comparison to many other carriers.
But being bonded means you WILL be gaining hours RHS.
Its all about making the best of the opportunities that are presented to you.
Which other carrier would hire a low-timer on type?
If you're limited to a legal total of 900 hrs per annum, that would mean at least a year and a half on the line.
And "FROZEN ATPL" means under 1500 hours and other intricacies.
I reckon a 3-5 year bond is practical in terms of hours accumulation.
It's a good thing buddy, think about it.

Perhaps coming from a point where I have no lives to feed, I will probably take whatever Jsa throw at me...
Shall we make a poll? Regardless of one time payment or salary sacrifice over "x" years....
Pay >188k sgd for a stint with Jsa and hope with no guarantee that Jsa will offer employment beyond bond(contract)

Not pay >188k sgd for Jsa with no guarantee of a job thereaft

I got the call, there will be a briefing by jsa later this month, hopefully to iron out the details.
Anyone else got the call as well? A couple of guys from my day 2 got it as well

cadet pay, after check to line ( ask some of the aussie guys how long that takes ) is apparently flat rate $2000SD per month. Take out your tax, cpf, medical, license fees etc...... good luck, and the bond.........well word on the street is the MOM, Ministry of Manpower, is not supporting non-reducing bonds any more, so i guess that if after a few years of 100+ non fatigue managed hours per month, or you loose your medical, you can pull the pin and work in a coffee shop to pay off your bond. on ya j*.

let the guys go for a briefing first and see what are the true details..
$2000/month will be a joke if it's true, but you're just speculating..
there's no way one could pay off the loan with such a pay, you'll need at least double of that.

i suspect Jetstar Asia might pay part of the package and using that as a ground to bond you with them for 5years
don't forget you're gonna need living expenses during the 18month course, and the money will probably come from family support, unless you have around S$15k to spare on your own during this period..
else, you add another S$15k to your debt list, owed to your family or whoever you borrowed from..

its a quick way for jetstar to make money....and lower costs ...ie why pay a full salary to a qualified f/o when you could get them for the tenth of the cost...its all about the numbers and management bonuses....
