  1. @smit0701 G’day know what you’re talking about but to be honest you will find negatives and positives about EVERY cadetship no matter where you look I’m currently doing the Sharp airlines cadetship and I’m LOVING it! But i read on post like you have and people have nothing good to say about them! but for sharp i know that after my 18months of Training which i get CPL/ATPL/MECIR so after 18months i get a GARENTEED 12Months contract to work for them now after those 12months is where i hope i get kept on or i gain a new position somewhere but we shall see about that. and sharp Offer ICUS which is sort of like command hrs which is good because as you know Co-pilot only counts to 50% of total time but yeah i can go on forever about positives and Negatives about all cadetships but yeah its really i find the people they say negative are the ones that haven’t got accepted into a course and are jealous just talking it down but i don’t know haha Very touchy subject you could say haha well i hope i didn’t ramble on to much which i think i did but yeah have a good one! Mattie C like the Profile Pic Metro liner!!! Woo hah
  2. Na wasnt much airline stuff at all the only airlines i saw was JQ,TWG Sharp airlines (Wooo Go Sharp) haha and qantas B744 which was doing test runs in the morning wasnt part of the airshow haha
  3. Haha yeah i wish there was more Civil jets tho was a lil annoying but wasnt a bad airshow tho Trade day was good Freebies!!! haha
  4. Haha na its ok understandable i hear you were at the airshow friday night i was there friday but i left at 630 i think was way to tired to stay anylonger haha and it way Tooo COLD!!
  5. Is This A330 a Brand newy or been taken off another airline?
  6. Gday PhiLep I think i might be able to help with some question..I hope Which subjects should I do in year 11/12 VCE? Well the subjects you need are the 3 normal which is Maths(some high level) in NSW its Mathermatics 2Unit was above General Maths so not sure how VIC Maths levels are but then the nxt is Physics and english so they are the main subjects that will help - What is the difference between a Certificate IV in aviation and a "Bachelor of applied science in aviation" or a "Diploma in Aviation"? Im not to sure about this question. But most thingys are starting to become a uni degrees but yeah im not sure of the difference maybe just the location as in Uni and not at Uni haha im not sure...see i have been enrolled into a Advanced Diploma of Air Transport so i think its just the name. - What are the advantages/disadvantages of a bachelor, diploma and a certificate? Which one should I aim to get? Im not to sure but i know with the grittith Uni course your first years are doing like buisness side of stuff but yeah thats a hard one.. - I'm short-sighted (Myopia) and I can't read/see things clearly that are distant. My vision is not in the legal driving limit so I have to wear corrective lenses (which make my eye sight perfect) when I drive. How will my short-sightedness/Myopia effect my chances of becoming a pilot? Are you allowed to wear corrective lenses when you work as a pilot or are people with Myopia not allowed to become pilots? As K said above this is no worries im sure the only rule is that you gotta be able to see so glasses arnt a problem. - What is the pay like? Well Pay is great but varies between airlines for a regional airline your looking around $40,000+ but for major airline F/O is around $70,000+ but as i said it varies but captain is were the good money is at haha - I don't know anything about this APL stuff that I've heard people talking about, Can someone please explain the full process of becoming a pilot and what the APL means? Ok by APL do you mean ATPL it stands for Airline Transport Pilots Licence you really need it if you want to be captain or work on major airlines but for small RPT its not really needed but is good to have but becoming a pilot is Easy its getting a job which can be difficult but first you must get GFPT that allowes you to fly 10NM from the aerodrome or the training area. then there is PPL which allows you to fly as Pilot in command with in australia for private operations only (not getting paid to do it) then you have CPL commercial and you have to pass 7 theory exams and then yeah you have ATPL for another 7 Exams but yeah i hope that makes sence - What has being a pilot been like for you personally? Advantages/Disadvantages? Well i will start with the disadvantages which is really only Money..Eveything to do with flying is $$ but other then that is a Great rewarding Career if you wish to persue it!! so many people say they want to fly and im happy to say that i Can!! haha - How likely is it that I will find a job with an airline? Aviation is Very Very compeditive! but its really all about experience. But getting a job hmm it could be easy it could be hard it really depends on the economy..(i think) but yeah its hard to say but Instructors are in demand becase of all these uni courses and stuff. But yeah i hope these help somewhat i may be wrong is some places and someone can correct me on that. I have been accepted in to sharp airlines as a Cadetpilot its something worth looking at if you wish to get into the airlines. also Best to start while your young just go to a local school just research first to find good prices and quality of the training and then just book a TIF see how you like it and then book ya first lesson ! i have been flying for 3 years now and LOVE IT!! Mattie haha i may have made a few spelling mistakes im sorry :)
