I sincerely hope the news is true
.
Perhaps Lion Air has come to their senses and decided not to hire pilots with such a lack of respect of themselves that would even entertain paying for their jobs

Lion got a steady stream of brown low self esteem Indians then why shall they hire snobbish Europeans and Americans who keep demanding things. Indians just shake their head up n down and say yes to all they are asked to do...!!

to bad
. Gotta an issue get a tissue
. I do feel just a wee bit sad, again, just a wee bit sad, for the parents who wasted their hard earned money so their children could take a most undeserved short cut to the cockpit of a shiny jet.
Oh well, you know what they say... tuition comes at a very hight price.
Back to the old way of doing things... they gotta earn their way into the right seat.

Everything has stopped in lion due to the fact to the lack of instructors at this present time... All instructor have there exceed there hours for the year and cant be bothered to teach and fly single pilot on jet any more this year
Come on guys... enjoy your last christmas and New Year with your family and loved ones... after you join Lion no more Christmas for sometime to come...and Loved ones..well you get new loved ones here in Jakarta to spend your new life and christmas with...
BTW the Indian p2F is for 3years and you get 2000usd (salary NOT incl flt pay) only. the rest of the money SOMEBODY keep.. so you fly 110+ hrs for free for 3 years... so Eaglejet is not so bad after all. hahaha.. aleast you can walk away...after 500hrs or a year so chose...
Be patient guys.. Lion wants your money... Until next year then...

We know there are delays and will be but EJ have revised their agreement with Lion only a few weeks ago. The new deal is 2 years inclusive of 500 hours on the line. Waiting period of between 3-6 months.

Could you please highlight what evidence you have to back up this claim that Lion Air are no longer accepting pilots from Eaglejet? To be honest this surprises me as judging from your previous entries you have been saying this sort of thing since October but the intake of pilots from Eaglejet has been constant since then.
One other thing that seems to disprove your theory is that I have a good friend of mine who is starting on the program on Monday. He was told the terms and conditions of the program have changed slightly concerning the price and waiting time but that is it.
Seems like you are trying to rock the boat for some reason..

Hi guys ,
Am here in Jakarta currently and to be honest it's not as bad as people say... You can make it hard for yourself if you come here with an arrogant I knowit all attitude but if you stay levelheaded and show them some interest they will treat you with respect and you will enjoy it.
I understand that the contract has changed with eagle but that's just business and I am sorry to say it's happening all over.
I also respect those of you with the opinion against pay to fly... But I suppose that is everyone's own decision , and talking from personal experience it's not an easy one.
You get to fly some great kit and your getting a lot of hours in short space of time and that's important.plus you do get some time of to enjoy indo, just maybe not as much as you might at home.
I expect to get some negative replies but I really don't care I'm happy here and I happy with the decision I have made. I have met some great friends.
All the best

Totally Agree on that. Wonder where they got the information from. Obviously everybody has a different point of view on P2F or Lionair, but i dont see what's wrong with this...

To Photo 1 and all the other P2F’ers. Someday you will be having a meal with other pilots who earned their way into the cockpit the old fashioned way…. no short cuts… just plain hard honest work, building legitimate hours to earn their right in the right seat… no bribes or tapping the family treasury to buy one’s way into the cockpit.
Of course one of the legitimate pilots will ask you the ultimate question. “So Photo 1… where did you do your training, and did you build your hours.” Gulp… will you have the courage to admit that you bribed your way into the cockpit by paying a training organization for jet time? Or are you going to exclude the fact that you were one of those who continue to keep the bar low and prevent the improvement in terms and conditions for our profession?
The P2F stigma does not disappear so easily. The world of aviation is a very small one at that. Your baggage will follow you no matter where you go. Someday, you will apply for a job with a carrier. You will be included in the selection process with other low timers. Perhaps your fellow low timers may have little or no jet time. Anyway during the interview, and explain how you obtained your jet time with such low time. You can’t lie, especially during an interview. Trust me, it won’t take a rocket scientist to figure out you were one of the P2F’ers. Whether you fess up during the interview or the record background check your prospective airline will conduct. I’ll bet a month’s salary you will be out and the low timer in. Most carriers want honest hard working pilots who appreciate the value of their airman certificates.
Lets fast forward into the future. Let’s assume you manage to get on with a carrier. All the shine and buff has worn off, and you are feeling less than content with your position, pay, terms and conditions. You are pissed off because your airline wants to increase your productivity from 80 to 95 hours per month with no pay increase. Further your airline wants to reduce your annual leave from 4 to 2 weeks per year. Your airline wants to cut back on medical and retirement benefits. And all you do is just grumble. Well, take a good long look in the mirror and ask who is responsible for such crappy treatment. The answer is in the same mirror. Remember Photo 1, we are now in the future. That said go back to 2011 when you wanted to sidestep the normal route to the cockpit and P2F. Remember how the training organization your parents paid good money to and how the airlines exploited you and others like you. Now you have the answer as to why terms and conditions within our industry are on the decline… The P2f’ers are a major part of the problem. And that’s why you can’t expect other pilots who earned they way into the cockpit to really respect you. Oh, they’ll probably talk to you, but you’ll carry the P2F’er label wherever you go.
Follow your heart and your conscience.

You Guys are hilarious ! Especially you captajns. you’ll carry the P2F’er label wherever you go???
Wauw, you said that nicely, how long did you manage to think about that. So a better pilot would be somebody sitting 5 years at home doing nothing in times with few jobs available.. Remember who started all this P2F... Yes, the 2 major airliners of Europe.... And many of them are settled already in the World's leading Airliners,, And do they carry a P2F tag when they are having a meal with colleagues ? NO ! They are just ambitious with passion to fly... That it took you years to find a job, no doubt, otherwise you wouldn't even spend time on this forum, but calling P2F people wrong.... yeah right... Keep on going... Fantastic !!!

Spiderfly... it's one thing to pay for a type rating as the lads do with Ryanair and EZJet. However, when they start their training, they get paid after the safety pilot is released.
Now with Lion Air... not only do these children pay for their type ratings, they also pay to sit in the right seat of a jet. Major difference.
There are those with ethics that do not promote, nor endorse such a program.
Just imagine for a minute Spiderfly, just one minute. Imagine if all potential P2Frs refused to participate in such a scheme. What do you think Lion Air would be forced to do?
I don't know who long you've in involved in aviation, but in my 36 years plus flying for carriers all over the world, I've seen terms and conditions decline. Probably more so in the US than anywhere else. And why??? because there are boneheads willing not only to fly for free, but pay to fly as evinced by the Lion Air scheme!!!
I`ve turned down an offer from Lion air as a TRI because of their exploitation of those naive puppies thinking they will have job security after the terms and conditions have been satisfied.
It's just plane bad, wrong, and amoral, and against goes against the principles of those who have earned their way into the cockpit.
As I said, I have no argument about signing a training bond, or even paying for a type rating... but paying to sit in the right seat during revenue operations??? that's just plain evil!
BTW Spiderfly, I don't quite understand your statement
I have been on someone else`s nickel after I was hired by the airlines as far as type ratings are concerned.
