For the amount of money you gonna part with, be rest assured they will call you.
Be prepared for some rides heading that way, very few will make it, the majority will just waste their time. Have a read on how cheaply the Indians are willing to go, and the Indonesians spare no time in taking advantage of the first few batches of naive young Indians.
What's worst now, Boeing flight training in South East Asia is drumming the tune of acute shortage of pilots. I wonder why is it that hard for everyone to see it, there is NO shortage of pilots, there's only shortage of CHEAP AND EXPERIENCED pilots.

A representitive e-mailed me back with details , for my experience rated and around 1k on type you would take home about 4500USD permonth and you do not have to part with any cash bar the return air fare to Indo for screening you must pay the agancy 5k USD for visas permits etc but this is deducted from your wages over a period of 1 year....? fro what I have read it does not sound lie one of those ripoff scams...

does nobody read the actual posts? he said it will be deducted from pay... so no out of pocket expenses except the airfare.
Paying an agency 5k for a visa? If the airline in question wants to or needs to hire foreigners then paying for visas is their problem, not yours and definitely not some vague agency that charges you 5 grand for it.
Lemme guess, is this "agancy" that Malaysian ex-EK flight attendant who runs selection road shows and has a Facebook site full of spelling mistakes?

So assuming we are only paid our base salary from arriving durung training 3k with no flight pay sector pay etc one would recieve 600 until checked to the line because the 5,200 is taken over the first 3 months pay , first few months would be very very tight

Do you know many people who would be interested , you can count me as one , allthough I would not mind waiting to see if I can get an interview with TOM or Jet2 first Turkish have you applied...? Also I might e-mail and ask her if it is possible to have a speedy awnser on whether you are successfull or not after screening in Jakarta therefore I only have to buy a one way ticket and can stay there after the assesent as lng as it wont be for more than two weeks etc....????

I just finished the Thomson one today and im half way through the Je2 application. I know of maybe one other guy from Astraeus who may be interested so that would be three. I think they will struggle with the likes of Jet2, Thomson and Fly Dubai recruiting..

Yeah 5 candidates. I want to negotiate on the $5000 coming out over 3 months as well...Its a total rip off anyway so the least they could do is split it over 6-12 months so we can eat for the first quarter...
BE Can you inbox me your name and email as im drafting an email for the agency.

For Flydubai u need to have a full ATPL. They won't even bother to process your application if you don't hold an ATPL. But be careful, it's probably better to wait for EK recruitment to open up again, as a move from FD to EK might not be that simple....
As for the Indo Job, I recommend staying away, unless you really have no other option. I don't trust anybody from this country, I believe it's the most corrupt country in the world. 5000$ for visa and monthly 528 fee is a complete joke in my opinion, as you guys are already rated with hours on type....
