Has any of you received the reply from AAA that you will be contacted by a company called Skylink? Got mine today.
Never heard of them, checked online, a site with hardly any info.
Sounds a bit obscure...
The address their offices are has no "Skylink" business listed, only some jewelers, a "process services" company(?), Private detectives and other similarly related to aviation businesses
Smells....

a number of us have been pointing out that if this isn't a scam then it's an agency just trawling for names "in case"
Unless you are dealing with airline directly your chances of getting anything solid are very low
never ever pay anything up front in Indonesia unless you are very very rich..........

Chatting to the pretty waitress in the Novotel last week about her Euro boyfriend who had been a pilot, what happened to him I asked? Oh. he fly into a mountain and was killed, said she. Oh I said! Don't worry she said, plenty more pilots are coming!

Probably true, but Indonesia can be a scary place to aviate, wx, terrain, culture, its all there to bite you on the bum. That said, and having been out there for the last 7 years, it is noticeable how many Euro and UK accents there are on the airwaves, so someone must be getting in. Lion usually.

Job in SE Asia
Hi everyone, I've been reading all the postings and i am a bit confused. There's a talk about uk assessment, agencies and all and im not sure what they are. I'm just looking for any information on getting into a recruitment program. I have been looking for a job for some time with no luck. any help or info would be greatly appreciated.
I went to Indonesia to look for a job in November. tried Merpati, Sriwijaya, Lion Air, Garuda and they all said either not hiring zero hour, type rated FO or need to go thru an agency called Avia.
-Merpati: VP of Flight ops kept my resume and told me to contact Avia
-Sriwijaya: Chief pilot kept my resume but looking for 500+ on NG
-Lion Air: wasn't allowed in the building, not hiring expats period
-Garuda: had an interview, told me after hiring local pilots if need more rated pilots, they will notify me (if shortage occurs and get government approval of hiring expats)
so I called Avia: first person told me to email him his resume and no reply. called another person and same thing happened.
I also found another agency called Skylink. I've been calling them but no answer. I asked a friend who flies for Garuda to call Skylink and he actually talked to someone and got some information.

About National Skylink agency
I have seen a group page about this agency and it is worth a look there, it is quite clear it is a huge rip off...

The guy appears to have been deeply screwed and many pilots with him
Take care!!!
