If not whats the name of the flight school in clark? I heard that they provide the knowledge from when you nothing about flying to when you get a cpl and know how to fly an Airbus A320. Im 13, I currently play Microsoft flight simulator and when i grow up i want to be a pilot for Philippine Airlines.
do we have enough jobs to absorb these pilots looking at the present state of kingfisher….
another news of pilot training ,friends this website is full of crap , in reality aviation today is a nightmare so i appeal all the students to stay out of aviation
This is good news considering that the aviation sector in India is growing rapidly and there is demand for trained pilots.However some recent events of pilot protests and non-availability of jobs is likely to slow down the demand.
The current state of airlines does not indicate any further demand for pilots. Who is going to spend large amount to do type rating with no future prospects. There is already a new center at gurgaon, struggling to sustain itself.
