If it's Lionair they probably charge extra to cover the cost of swimming lessons.

Anyone applying for this should be publicly shamed.

So, I guess you are expected to treat it as some sort of extended "adventure holiday" in the sun. Still expensive if treated as that.

Red face

We can laugh, but you know someplace, somewhere, someone is spellchecking their application.

A job offer impossible to turn down.

Personally, I wouldn't call self-funding a TR an opportunity to turn down.

I was hoping you'd found some job openings within a company that were doing the decent thing and actually paying to train their Pilots.

Woooweee what an opportunity! not to be missed that one. I really liked the part also about
The A320 option gives the opportunity to gain 500 hours flying time on the aircraft-the 737 Classic offers 500 hours actual flying time on the aircraft.
So there seem to be two different deals in that sweet doozie and if your really lucky you might, just might get an opportunity for 500hrs on the Airbus A320. Bit like playing the lottery. But with worse odds. And buying your card in Africa. Still am sure the salary will be good.

Yeah but Scott did you not see the irony of what F900 was trying to convey?

Rather difficult to convey tone, but I read it as being ironic, and pointing out how poor an opportunity this was.

Other posters seem to have taken it as dead serious, which it may well have been, in which case I feel sorry for the poor fella if this is what he thinks a good opportunity looks like.

Trouble is, I bet they will get plenty of applicants

moderator please note

If there is no clear indication by the poster that this is not an actual advertisement, it should be treated as one.

Lion air and MSD no more... MSD only bought headaches, fAKE LICENSes, attitude problem pilots.. Rumours... Captain K is exiled in thailand because no Captain wants to fly with him.


If you join this MSD... they will keep your flying pay.. what you work for... and you will keep your salary of 2000usd.

If you are into DPs this is a good company....
