Buy a 747 type rating and MAYBE get a job as a "contractor."

Looks like another "pay-to-fly" scheme with $15,000 up front, and another $10,000 later. . . .and lofty expectation of a job. Happy landings.

pay to fly the 400?

Well,this is really the bottom line of the
First,Saudia told AAI already abt linetraining FO under 1000hrs TT,they did not like it.
Mr Mutt,Pls pass this on to SV ops!
To many incidents,makes this outfit a prime candidate.
They already have a bad reputation outside,By miss managment of all contracts.They have a tendency for constant screw ups.
Maybe this is a exellent opportuniy for Fat Alex to run with the money?

Heard Air Atlanta will be losing their contract with SV by the end of the year (or contract not renewed). Any truth in that or just a bad rumour?

Sadly seems the norm these days. Its been covered so many times in so many threads.

Everybody disagrees, but these courses sell well, otherwise the schemes would die away. Only the pilots to blame wanting to buy that golden ticket.

Only 100hours on type, and a renewable 12 month contract, seems like you have to pay $25000 every year until you get the magic 500 on type, otherwise this is a real low life deal. You can look forward to buying your magic 500 hours in the left seat when your done buying the right hand seat.

It's magic

Hi Mr HF, looks like you're a bit frustrated

1) "First,Saudia told AAI already abt linetraining FO under 1000hrs TT..."
-> Who is saying that any new -400 FO will fly for SV? Facts pls
2) "To many incidents...."
-> Facts pls
3) "They already have a bad reputation outside"
-> is that the reason why AAI signed additional wet lease contracts with new customers recently?
4) "...By miss managment of all contracts..."
-> happened with your contract? Facts pls
5) "They have a tendency for constant screw ups"
-> would be great to learn more about that


@ 2604
It's just a bad rumor like always
Mostlikely coming from a User who almost burnt down a 747 in the UK

Be careful what you ask for, you may get pages and pages and pages of examples.

Good to hear it's a bad rumour. It was coming from inside my company (which is also on wet lease for Saudi) spreaded by a few idiots thinking Saudi only wants the services of the best company (if only they could understand we are the worst one).

Anyhow thanks for that.
