What makes you think you will pass the line training ? It's not as easy as it sounds , IOE is not a joke!

What makes you think line captains won't treat you like dirt ?

This isn't a profession where one moves ahead by paying , that being said I ask you once again , what airline are you going to do the training with ! You clearly have doubts as you are asking for the names of other agents ?!

I dont know of any companies in the Philippines that do this, maybe operators in Africa and Afghanistan accept pay to fly on a limited basis but I don't think you will get anywhere trying to fast track in asia!

Romeo.a320 my friend who is also A320 rated told me about these guys as he was thinking about going with them.

He spoke to one of the guys and he quoted him $120,000 for type rating and line training. He did state he held a current A320 rating and then the price reduced to $90,000 to be paid on start of line training.

The offer made to him was 500 hrs line training and a 5yr contract with an airline in the far east. He showed me a pay scale during the 5yrs and I calculated that over 5yrs he would barely make the $90,000 and maybe have $1000 in the bank to show for 5yrs work all this is before living expenses and other expenses that you will incur.

I understand the frustrations of wanting to get on the ladder and I am in the same boat and gained my license 4 yrs ago with zero luck. However during these desperate times we should be all standing up and saying no and forcing these criminal agents going under. They prey on the desperate and take full advantage.

I would suggest you think carefully about applying or even making any payment unless the bank of dad and mum are funding this.

Good luck what ever you decide and hopefully you realise that by signing up with the agents you are preventing airlines from taking recruits directly via their own schemes.

During desperate times the biggest mistakes are made.

Not to mention if you fail a checkride or have a bad day they will not hesitate to kick you out.

I wish one day you can fully understand the full weightage of self destruction cycle that you had brought upon yourself, and the entire industry.

I would never stand by any scammers but it does sound like there's a huge market of dumb pxxxx out there who want the quick way out and the conmen are having the best of times. I wish all of you worst of luck, and may every penny that you throw in earns you P2Fs nothing but frustrations.

Romeo, clearly there is no convincing you. I hope I get to fly with you someday, ha!.

Do yourself a favor and make sure you don't pay up front and if you do get scammed hire a great lawyer to get your money back.

Hope you pay to fly for your PIC upgrade as well !

Usually these Scam Clown's have an address which is a Room with a Telephone in and nothing else. Most good Lawyer's will tell you can try to
get Money back but slim chance. My 10 cents worth.

Yes to P2f

I don't care what people say about P2f.. I believe in making like simpler and getting there sooner.
I am on for a P2f program if I am sure its Legitimate.

Anyone know any legitimate one ?

I am in touch with SAS also , anyone have any experience with them in the past?

Anyone else who has a positive out look towards P2f do contact me, we can research together.
