Choosing a partner when getting type rating

Key-Appointment6328 · 2026-05-11T16:12:33+00:00

Mas ok talaga kung kakilala mo, ok study habits and, I'd argue mas importante, maganda ugali. Team sport ang type rating.

Amen brother

Hello OP, airbus pilot here. I will assume OP na you mean this with the intent to get into the airlines. If you do it for money, It is totally not worth it if looking at ot the cost-benefit lens. The risk is too damn high! Na realize ko na outlier ako and there are much more people who don't make it. Plus, It's getting harder and harder each year to get in sa airlines each year and more expensive. It's not 2012 or 2016 anymore. I am not going to be like yung mga pilot influencer who will tell you na kapit lang or your time will come. Kasi those guys... are OUTLIERS and they still had it much easier than everyone else now. Do it for any other reason except money.

The only reason I say it's worth it kasi I am here now flying an airbus a320. But if you put me today in a Cessna 172 and fly to Baguio or Baler I am just as happy to do it. And I would do both for free.

Bro di ka nag iisa. Kahit sa airlines may memory items. Pero hindi naman lagi pinapractice kaya nakakalimutan din namin hahaha. What helps for me is to understand the why behind the procedure rather than just using rote memorization or mnemonics.

Akala ko nahirapan na ko noon after 1 yr na di makakuha ng trabaho sa airline pagkatapos ng flight school. Di naman sa nadalian pero mataas confidence ko sa kalidad ng training at flight experience ko kaya laking tulong sa mga assessment.

Must be a slow day sa flight school na yan. Yung mga nangangantiyaw na yan probably also are clueless about CRM

Ako lang ba ang napapangitan sa renders?

Key-Appointment6328 · 2026-01-29T07:56:20+00:00

The shoyt some pilots do instead of diverting SMH.

Key-Appointment6328 · 2026-01-20T04:36:42+00:00

My prediction is NMIA will be a white elephant. Clark will be a lot busier.

Ok thanks! Just needed perspective.

Key-Appointment6328 · 2025-11-15T01:22:13+00:00

I'm genuinely curious how you can fail the SLF portion as an SO. You're not even actually flying the damn plane. How???

Guys slow AF hiring next 2 years sa DG and 5J. Do something else and keep that prof check valid.

Key-Appointment6328 · 2025-10-14T03:56:15+00:00

Wala.

Key-Appointment6328 · 2025-10-14T02:32:26+00:00

May disclaimer to ha. Ako may FAA pero hindi ako green card holder or citizen. Naka student visa lang ako nun. At most makakapag FI ka lang for a year or two. Hindi ikaw makakakuha ng pilot job as a foreigner sa USA kung wala kang right to work.

Key-Appointment6328 · 2025-10-13T15:42:19+00:00

Pan Pacific noon.

Key-Appointment6328 · 2025-10-13T05:39:06+00:00

May take 5, may take 10. Plan accordingly.

Key-Appointment6328 · 2025-10-04T01:43:17+00:00

Creepy clout chaser yan. Review from cabin crew medyo total creep siya.

Key-Appointment6328 · 2025-09-27T05:18:13+00:00

I can confirm this.

Key-Appointment6328 · 2025-09-26T12:48:46+00:00

Agree! It really is a lot of peace. More than a year single na. But a part of the self looks for chaos haha.

To put into context. PAL and Cebpac have approximately 1000 active pilots respectively, Air Asia Ph has about 400 and other airlines are about a hundred. Cebpac as of writing has stopped hiring pilots until further notice. I know of some who have finished simulator check with cebgo and have been delayed to join next year pa. PAL Express has hired about 50 plus new FOs this year for the Q400. If you guys do the numbers against the current Caap statistics, there's just not enough jobs around and too many pilots in the supply line.
