JSA ACP

Hi Guys,

Does anyone hv a rough estimate of how many non caas atpl (with >700hrs) pilots out there. In my school, I reckon at least 5. Perhaps those already in this line are most suitable in answering this post (thanks senior).

Just to hv a guage of what is the supply pool like for the JSA ACP.

I believe there will be competition.

Thank you.

For the ab-initio cadet program applicants,

Has anyone received the next email from OAA with the address of the assessment venue? I sent the payment form over email, but have not received any reply.

Thanks

do check your junk mail to see if it's there

give them some time to process, since your assessment is on Tuesday, they should give you a location by Friday or Monday

Does anyone know the actual process of the ab inito besides what is on the website.

To my understanding there is a CAAS ruling that a pilot needs 700hrs.

So what happens after the cadet finishes the abinito course? The cadet will definately not finish with anything close to 700hrs.

Please let me know if I am wrong about the ruling.

which cadet will finish with 700hrs?

even SIA cadets after coming back from Perth don't have that kinda hour


after finishing the course in AUS, they'll send you to HKG to get your TR.. After which, more sim checks, then I'm not sure if you'll be qualified to fly the A320 as a F/O after that

Yeah I just wanted to know the process because I heard from someone that you need 700hrs before u can get type rating on RPT in singapore.

This cadetship sounds good but the cost is a major factor.

like i mentioned, if you don't mind paying roughly $2500/month for 7years to pay off the loan, it's fine.. 'Cause you gonna have employment with Jetstar Asia, so it's quite safe if you don't lose the job

but people will have to factor in being income-less for 18months.

Jetstar Asia never mention anything about allowance other than lodging being provided in AUS and HKG(with food as well)

during the initial 6months in SIN ground school you might still be able to find ways to earn something. But when you head to AUS, things will be different..

yeah thats absoulety correct cadets will be income less, i dont think jetstar will provide any allowance because it is a self funded course.

Does any know what the pay rates of jetstar asia pilots are? right from SO to CPT.

thanks for that link...the pay rates seem decent, but once u factor in your loan and mortgage n expenses doubt you will be left with much.

things to note:-

1. CPF contributions
2. Income Tax
3. License loan repayment

Deduct the 3 parts and then you'll be left with the real take home pay.

That's only base pay, Total pay per month is still heavily dependent on how many hours you fly.

Just want to clarify here.

Those who think that CAAS require 700 for a Professional Pilot's License need to read the Air Safety Publication properly.

As per the regulations, you need 200 hours for a Professional Pilot's License IF you are following CAAS approved syllabus (approved school).

700 hours is for those who didn't, so those who want to covert from overseas require 700 hours to convert to CAAS.

The pay rates for JFO are low and fixed at basic. At the moment there is no flight pay for JFO's ie fly 100 hours per month for the same cash as flying 1 hour. You will be first called on "avail" days. Upgrade to SFO is at the will of the company and changes depending on the level of need. A blind man could see this this scheme is about cheap long term bonded labour. cavet emptor.

The OAA skills assessment will be held at Changi Village Hotel.

I am just wondering how many have been selected for the skills assessment. The Jetstar website states they are seeking 30 cadets..? Would an estimate of, maybe 60 selected for the test be accurate?
