Thoughts?
I could start their Commercial Pilot Programme when I'm 17, as I will have finsished school before then. I have been thinking I would do all my training privatly at the Flying School, but this training facility has interested me, to my untrained eye, it looks prety good.
I'm after the best, and the quickest, that will set me up for a good carear the best and the soonest. As for price, nothing can be to expensive for this, but I will certainly need to a student loan.
Thanks

Not at that stage anyway considering they are 70 hours and a IFR Rating away from finishing the course.kiwiflyboy wrote:QUOTE (kiwiflyboy @ May 8 2008, 03:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Heard from the Inside, Eagle will be putting on the brakes for their hiring very soon, I know of 10+ people that have been hired by Eagle in the last 6-9 months, and they are now getting to the level they want. 180TT good luck, that's not even CPL minimums......
if thats is the case the RNZAF is the best option as it will create a back log down the line(including instructing) in regards to anyone doing a CPL ME/IFR at present - i.e no jobs for a while.

I agree with HardCorePawn; go to your local aeroclub bar and talk to people. Start networking early on. Probably only 2 or 3 degrees of separation in NZ aviation.
I really want to go to NAC, but the cost sorta puts me off, and the fact a student loan may 'come back to haunt me'.

Ahhh generation Y - do you really think that 57 grand is not much money ?? I wish you all the best with your future endeavours, but I'd hate to start out in a career with $57,000 debt.

He was being a tad sarcastic

I'm sure they'll work this out eventually...

update from the pprune:
CTC straight into Eagle
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hell has frozen over lukeskytoddler! Two Kiwi CTC trained cadets have got jobs with Eagle with 180TT. Good for them!
FACT - One is my 19 year old nephew and will be the youngest pilot in the Koru group. He has NO connections with the company, NO truck loads of money and was a normal kid straight out of school when he started at CTC .
He met Eagles current entry criteria and got offered a job. End of story.
Times are changing from when you and I started, from what I observed during a flight he took me on his level of training from CTC was excellent. His professional attitude, level of skill and airmanship was very high for a young guy of minimal experience.
Sure he has a lot to learn but after 27 years in the industry I'm still discovering.
Your comments sound like sour grapes with hint of jealousy.
