This is the last eagle jet batch... None planned for the new year and lion already has informed that they do not need anymore. Please don't ask me for the source coz I won't tell. And eagle only may provide captains but I don't think eagle has any captains. So there you have it guys.. Don't go buying ratings for eaglejet coz you will be stuck with a rating and no hours.

Like I predicted there is always someone that's against it, but I've noticed that most people that are against p2f are from an older generation and probably still stuck with the I have had it so hard time sympathy chip on their shoulder.

there is not much difference between the Ryanair and the easy jets and the eagle jets. It does not make you a worse pilot paying for your own training because most of us are uk trained, and let me add trained by the most established training centres.

I am certainly not ashamed to tell anyone that I had to pay for my own training. And also the cheek of some individual to persume that everyone doing this is well off or got their parents to pay for it shows a lack in intelligence and quite frankly not worth the time of day...

Have A nice day everyone..

Regardless of how much money one has to throw at these programs, you still have to prove yourself as a professional pilot. If not then you will lose money and be bitter. People are out for themselves, this is the world we live in. P2F in many different forms including line training is here to stay. Jetjockey is right and although that was the last batch of 2011, there will be more in 2012 when positions arise.

If you're trying to get into Sriwijaya through FlyG, you're paying a premium.

Save yourself a few thousand USD, and contact the office in Jakarta.

Better yet, fly down personally and speak with the good people there.

Last I checked, it should be USD29K for the TR to fly their B737CL.

Cheers!

Has anyone actually confirmed with Eaglejet that this rumor is true?

Or is this just simply a case of people making up rumors?

hi tigerstripes. 29k was the old price and they have now increase to 32k. But as far as i know that is for CPL holders.

No point going to jakarta as they wont entertain us, one of my mate met the operation director as was told to go to fly gosh.

They are getting 4 738NG next year and understand that the price will be much lower for us rated guys.Eagle has increase to 33.5k and a whopping USD55k for CPL holder and yet we have to fly for free for 500 hours and only then there will be a 1 year contract which I heard is not even guranteed.

With a 3 year contract from Sri Wijaya, by far the best deal around and by that time we can get 2700 hours on type.

I am pretty sure price will increase again since demand is more than supply and Indonesia is where the next pilot heaven is for us. I'll just grab whatever opportunity that comes in my way. Better than sit at home being jobless and let our blue book expire to become a piece of toilet paper.

Mr Adeash,

Read my post again. I never said anything about Eagle, or USD 55K. (You are refering to LionAir)

I only wrote about Sriwijaya Air.

You want to know why i'm so sure of myself? Its because i'm in Jakarta, and you're not. Have you tried coming to Jakarta and knocking on doors looking for a job? I don't think so.

You expect the Indonesian airlines to get back to you just because you have a CPL/MECIR/ATPL or are type rated? Dream on. There are many more pilots like you who think the whole world owes you a job.

I can tell you so because I have 2 fellow batch trainees who got into the airline because they persevered and persisted, eventually coming to Jakarta to speak with HR and management personally.

Wow..... i see Eagle jet are pushing the price up again ($39500 from $26500) and the opportunity to be away from home soil for 4 years now, plus expenses, how greedy do they get??
I know for sure that this has pushed many people out of the loop and wasted peoples money in paying for ratings with the hope of spending the last of there hard earn cash on getting a job.

Let's get real folks... it more like Mommy and Daddy's money. No bank in their right mind is going to issue a loan for flight training given the fact most students don't have the collateral to support such loan.

Eagle Jet Strikes Again!!

Eagle Jet is now offering 500 hour line training program for Lion Air and 4 year guaranteed employement for 4 years at $2300 a month!
For those pilots who wanna pay to go to work it's $39,000+....
For pilots who support these programs, it's very sad... Pay your dues and stop letting these companies use and abuse you!

To resign before the contract we need USD100000?Are you kidding me?

39 K plus our living expense and rating will take us more than USD70k++

They think we are money printing machines heh

So what do you think guys and gals after reading bereaufly's lament? Still think it's worth mom and dad's money? Still think mom and dad would have laid out the bazookums had they known how much money these scams actually cost?

Do you think programs ala Lion Air add to the quality of terms and conditions to our profession? If so... please enlighten us as to why you think so.

Come on folks at least with a professional pleasure provider, (may not be able to write hooker on these threads), there's usually a happy ending... no???
