Why not PM some people who appear to work there instead of posting your resume here? That might be a better plan. :ok:

with turbo prop time you can only go on the MD11.
living cost in taiwan are low, u get free accomdation, and its cheap to live, unless you go on the beer alot.
recruitment process pretty standard for any airline, sim ride, english test, interview and medical. The medical is a bit thorough than JAR.
If your interested, fill out the application and see u get the call up!

Checked the EVA Website.
Is there any way of applying online?
Or, I have to Download and Fillout the forms and send through Mails!

Applying to EVA
 

There's no way of applying on line. You have to download the application and fill it out. You will also have to attach all of the supporting documents with your application. It takes a while to complete, but once you submit it they're very quick to respond. If you don't have ALL of the min experiance requirements or sup. doc's, wait until you do. If you don't they will just throw your application in the bin. They don't maintain a hold file at EVA.

ok, thanks for the info.. I don't have a cat 2/3 endorsement mentioned in the application form, since my company is only cat 1 certified... does this mean they won't take my application into consideration??

I'm in the same situation. It seems even with the shortage globally, nobody wants t-prop drivers. I can't fly for emerites, qatar, or anything in Japan, lol. I may have to send eva and CX a resume

CAT II / III endorsement
 

Obviously for the turbo prop applicants the CAT II / III endo is not required. That's more for the jet applicants that go straight to the transition training.

Sorry, there are no new direct entry B777 Captains 55+ years old with EVA

Not meaning to drag this through further however some of you are really just asking for it coming back and back and having a pop at me. There ARE currently direct entry positions within EVA contrary to some opinions on this site. El Captain, I am personally aware of captains who are over 60 here (main focus would be on domestic & intra asian routes however). I dont know what your angle is here to advise otherwise, no doubt you have a self serving one though. My interest is to provide honest information to would be interested joiners.

Looks like same #### different smell.
Look.......If pilots who have been around for awhile are leaving in droves.....something is wrong. Most of the time its got something to do with the paycheck and a few goons who wanted to be top gun but flunked out and are now sit behind the desk.
So if the truth must be told.
You need a payrise!
Why not!
All the best guys.

Stike Dude , that stuff you are smoking is gonna kill you, nobady here can follow what you are talking in your posts, as of me I'm checking out....see ya:D

this may be the wrong thread to replay to but...ab initio?
 

got a quick question for anyone with some insider info about a eva air ab initio flight training program. my mom has a friend in taiwan whose son was apparantly picked up for it. does this training program exist? if so how might i get more inforation on it? thanks for any help.....

Just speaking the truth El Captain, try it sometime - guess what, it costs nothing and that has to be worth a read therefore ;)

A friend of mine was selected for the EVA ab initio program some years back. He was working for Evergreen Marine at the time. He didnt make it. Basically EVA would expect you to fly for them for a decade or two after the 18 month training , which takes you from zero time to the right seat of an airliner. I would say its a fantastic opportunity for a pilot wannabee.

The program is only open to ROC citizens though, far as I know. They are looking for young , healthy persons who want to fly as an airline pilot and who clearly show an aptitude for it. CAL had or still has such a program as well.

I am not sure if EVA currently is still seeking such candidates.

ab initio cadet scheme
 

Coasstiewantstofly

Yes EVA still runs an ab initio cadet scheme, but as armchair pilot says it's just for ROC Nationals. If your a ROC national it's a pretty sweet deal. The training takes about two years to complete, but the company pays for everything during that time. The only catch is that you have to sign a 15 year bond.

A note of caution thou, if you've been living out of town you'd better brush up on your mandarin, as the classes are only given in the native language.

15 :mad: years? YGTBSM! :eek:

Think of it as Job Security? They wont fire you for fifteen whole years !! And you get to fly all sorts of hours for years for the cargo fleet and at 2/3 the salary of pilots who came in as F/O (and they are underpaid versus the competition too). But beats sitting in an office in Taipei making 1K/month flying a desk though ?

If you started at say 21, you come out 15 years later as a very experienced F/O at 36 ready to take on the world ! Sort of :)

thanks everyone for the information! i grew up in taiwan, went to TAS and i'm an american citizen, so i guess i'm out of the running.

F.O. Positions
 

I have 1500hrs total with 1300 of those on the 737, would I be eligable for PAX or only Cargo if I applied? Does anyone no on average what you would take home per month as an F.O. PAX and Cargo?
Thanks for your replies

The reason EVA and CAL pay their expat FO's so little is cause they pay their Taiwanese employees even less. This causes problems - an expat FO cannot be seen to earn more than a local Captain - very bad for morale. The only people who are more unhappy than the expats at these companies are the locals - they really get treated like dirt and are tied to the job through bonds and the fact that the Taiwan Licence is not ICAO.

It is only worthwhile joining as a Captain - you can get a fair deal that way. Some Expat Captains get us much as US $ 15 000 or more. Depending on their negotiating skills. Many different salaries and contracts - changes constantly. If you really really need jet time then it might be worthwhile to sacrifice two years or so over there and get some hours that will enable you to move on.
