Jetstar Asia Advanced Cadet Program

[sgcloudchaser]

thorny,

sia cadetship is not free definitely but surely cheaper, unless you count the repaying of training fee by deduction via your monthly salary during the 7 years bond as free of charge out of your pocket... you think sia so generous?

SO now what is actual practice for licence conversion?

Its seems 700hrs is not what he needed for conversion.
Even his Australian coursemates didnt need the 700 hr requirement.


Unless things have recently changed (like in the last few months)...

Will CAAS please clarify...

I believe your friend was one of the lucky ones who was able to convert before CAAS got screwed during the ICAO audit...

thing is, during the 7yrs in SIA bond, you won't feel the effect of paying back to SIA for the course's cost

but for this Jetstar Asia programme, the amount is there for you to see, and like i mentioned, with a F/O pay of $5000(for example), paying back $2500 per month for the loan will take you more than 6.5yrs

then let's consider the 6.5yrs as a form of "bond" with Jetstar. so you'll be effectively earning just $2500/month for close to 7yrs, without considering pay rise that is.


do F/Os in SIA earn $2500/month?

NO WAY

Re

I have emailed Jetstar Asia to ask about the 700-hour entry requirement if you are holding a CAAS license that needs no conversion. The email sent to [email protected] bounced saying that there is no such address. I haven't got a reply from the same email sent to [email protected]. Does anyone know of a number to call?

There is no mention of any allowance in the website. It says "Accommodation provided in Australia and Hong Kong. Meals provided in Hong Kong". Which to me implies that only meal allowances will be provided in Hong Kong but not in australia. And how much?

Re:16th Jan 2011

OAA has got back saying those with CAAS license without 700 hours flight experience are eligible for the ACP program.

I emailed them at the same address too but haven't got any reply too.. Maybe the guys in charge are currently away on vacation or something. Might have to wait a little longer..

[Touch'n'oops]

May I suggest you guys go for it and then you can ask your questions at the interview.

You can always turn it down later if it doesn't suit you.

Dear All,

Is there any Jetstar Pilots around? Would like to know their lifestyle.
And also I have a PPL-R about 55hours. Would it help with the Ab Initio Cadet Pilot Program ?

Thanks.

[Redsteel]

Does anyone know when their next intake for Senior Cadets is? I have applied but would like to know the time frame

[rykin]

Do you mean "old" cadets ^^
or the ACP? If its the latter :
"The Advanced Cadet Program is a six month program that will be launched in February 2011. It is designed to assist non-commercial pilots transitioning to commercial flying. "
taken from OAA.com - Oxford Aviation Academy

[Redsteel]

haha thanks Rykin, i did mean the ACP. I have filled in the form already and and now just holding thumbs

[Stallone]

you should nt fill any form when applying for ACP

They stated mailing them your CV.. Please go read the FAQ

[slayerdude]

Jetstar Asia= RSAF Flying Club

Ex RSAF boys won't have trouble with 700hrs nor the 200K with service ROD gratuity......... thats who the ACP is tailor made for!!!!!

[cancan7]

I'm asked to go for the OAA skills assessment next Tuesday... I applied for the Ab Initio program. Yes, I'm that desperate

Any idea how to prepare for this?

I've never made it past the first round interviews at SIA, so I'm totally clueless. Would appreciate any answers, thanks!

[Stallone]

Day One

1. Computer-based Tests - testing your aptitude, technical knowledge and personality

Day Two

1. Team Exercises - testing your verbal reasoning, problem solving and communication skills
2. Individual Interviews - examining your personality, aviation knowledge and commitment
3. Individual Debrief - comprehensive, objective and honest

OAA Skills Assessment

[Jezza88]

does anyone know if the the ab initio cadets will be bonded?

[rykin]

Would be really worried if u are out 200k and bonded!

[Stallone]

S$200K through your own pocket and they want to bond you?? No Way

you can leave, if you have the capacity to pay off the loan by not flying for Jetstar Asia

[cancan7]

thank you so much for the info and quick reply!

I'm now a language teacher, and I've totally forgotten the Physics and Maths knowledge. Will this be fatal to my chances?

Thanks once again!
