Jet Experience
Hi Guys,
Just wondering if someone could suggest any Airlines in Asia that will look at applicants without Jet Experience/ type rating. I have some EFIS turboprop experience but I'm finding that " final" step onto a jet elusive so far. Any ideas appreciated Cheers RC |
Cahay pacific does S/o req's 1000 hrs go to their website
|
1000 is only on paper, to get a SO job ..its more like 3000 hrs with 1000 on small jets or turbo props
|
Thanks AP & LW,
I've already done the CX thing and missed out ( Sadly). I've around 5700 hrsTT and 5300 Turbo-prop ( 1/2 Command 1/2 F/O) I've applied to a few operators, they all want Jet experience, But you can't get jet hours without flying one. RC |
Why don't you try Qatar Airways? I know this colleague of mine (well I haven't jeard from him fora long time now) who got hired by them with something around 2000 hrs ATR 42. You asked about Asia, I know I just gave you this info just for the heck of it. He did it, why not you?

Qatar Airways
Thanks Air Poly'
I'll check it out now, I have Brasilia & Dash 8. Fingers crossed!! RC |
SIA is ur option in asia to get a jet job.
but then, be prepared to spend about 6 months or so before u start ur fleet type rating. maybe some SIA/cargo people can give more useful information. |
Thanks OTR,
I've heard SIA Cargo are getting short of drivers, I've checked their website and there still asking for 2500 hrs jet. Any clues whether they've looked at Turbo -prop guys yet, anyone? |
Look my man,
Send the applicaiton anyway. I they're short of pilots and your application lands on their desk at that moment, they'll call you. I'm no expert but if I had your experience I'd send letters, email, call and do it over again until they "yes" or "stop annoying us". It shounds hard headed but if these guyz need pilots...they won't blcok their doors. One never knows. Best wishes:ok: |
It's a long shot but no harm trying dude.
|
well, sure they are asking for that experience. thats for direct entry F/O. what you might really get is the "cadet scheme", skipping certain stages of training which an ab-initio cadet goes through. might take about 1.5 years till you are released as an F/O on the B744 (wow). hope this helps.
cheers |
Thanks Guys,
All advice and suggestions taken on board. crossed fingers Cheers RC |
