Please let me know about FSA..

Dear Kristie,

I'd like to know why you don't recommend comair to me. Could you explain what kinds of difference are there between comair and FSA?

Thank you Launchpad, I will try PAIFA.
 
here's two DCA area's for you to read...

one is a forum we used to have on here specifically for DCA but it was removed and closed a few years ago. it's for reading purposes only, not posting....

the other deals with DCA's tactics with this website.. makes for good reading, i suppose and is the main reason we no longer recommend DCA to anyone on this site.. however, it's your decision, your choice..we just don't recommend them as their tactics and marketing are VERY underhanded...We'd hate for anyone to lose money by doing their flight training here.

more to the story.. many people have lost a ton of money to this company and not gained anything from it in return.. they've had bad customer service, over escalated prices and major turnover in both management and instructors in the past few years and they've literally tried to get this website shut down.

I can't tell you the differences between FSA and DCA...someone else will be able to fill you in on that firsthand information! :)
 
I am impressed with your kindness and effort for me. I Really appreciate you. From your advice, I could absolutely limit the candidates to FSA and PAIFA.

Fly safely today~~

As far as I know, PAIFA currently trains the cadets who've been selected as the prospective pilots of KAL. Why didn't you apply for that program? It could save your money and time. Also I think it's best and certain way to become a commercial pilot in Korea.

As I mentioned on the first page, KAL don't give an apportunity to be come the cadet sponsored by itself because of the twice strikes of pilot from cadet. The strikes made president and executives very angry and then the KAL is just hiring the co-pilot discharged from airforce. Currently, it started to employ the over 1k hrs experienced pilot.

Can I ask KMU you are a Korean? Your ID looks very familiar. If not, I appologize for my rashness.

Does it look familiar to you? Have we met before? haha. I've made some quotes on yours that's why. Anyway, that's my initials.
I have seen some of Korean students currently came here and working hard to get their licenses so I'm very curious about your country's pilot recruiting system and stuff. I do know, but not that precisely, how the program works and what I was intended to ask you earlier is that didn't you ever apply for that cadets program? I assume that your age could meet the requisites. Maybe not. :confused:

I know well you inputted on my first thread. Why I looked your id familiar is that name initials of someone who is trained in Hillsboro Academy in Oregan is same as your id. Anyway I'm sorry for my misunderstanding.

that's a good question!

so why haven't you applied to the cadet's program? do you not meet the requirements needed for that program? i wonder if the only way to get into that airline is through their cadet program?

being in their program would at least help you with finding a school and start the build up of total time would it not?
 
Honestly, I applied the program. I passed through documentation, aptitude test including math, physics and common knowledge for pilot. And then I passed the flight device test, interview in English and medical check either. BUT I failed to win on the last step as interview with executives. Anyway, I try to think it was just the past and a good experience for me to fly. I don't look back and I will look forward my future as an airlines pilot.:) :)

Why JAA? Surely for South Korea (and anywhere outside Europe) FAA is the way to go.

Not really. Im training for my JAA starting this feb. Ill be doing my ppl and hour building at FSA for two months, but then come back to Ireland to get my commercial. (Takes 14 months altogether)
As far as I am aware, feel free to correct me if Im wrong, it costs around $25,000(est) to convert your FAA license to JAA if you wanna work europe. But its pretty much peanuts to go from your JAA to your FAA. They training is different on both ,standards are higher on the JAA.
I wanna work in the US earn some money on long haul...pay off those loans lol, but some day will also want to work in europe. So this was my reasoning to training here in Ireland over training for the full license in the us, even though initally it would be cheaper for me to train in the US.
 
Your figures sound about right, possibly a little conservative. I've heard of people who say $25,000 will get you the JAA IR. But you're right, FAA to JAA costs insane amounts and the reverse is cheap as chips.

I wouldn't say JAA standards are higher in every respect. The JAA exams are simply insane, but the checkrides are massively easier. There is no oral, and the flight portion, at least for the CPL, is mainly just a cross country flight that requires very anal planning. From what I hear it's not really difficult at all, although affording the $1200 CAA check ride fee might be.

You are very sensible to be doing an FAA PPL before starting the commercial, as you'll save a lot over doing the JAA PPL, even in the USA, and this is where many people waste their money. I'd reccomend considering doing the JAA CPL at one of the US JAA schools, either Naples Air Centre or Orlando Flight Training, as they will be cheaper than flying in Europe.

I would stand by my statement. If you don't intend to fly commercially in Europe (You can fly privatly on your US cert. in UK airplanes) then there is no real reason to go JAA. Most other countries will allow any ICAO licence, or do the same conversion to their own licencing regardless of your country of origin.
 
Ya its true what your saying...Im just doing JAA for the cheaper conversion aspect :) To get Jaa ppl here is madly expensive your talking 15g at least, which is insane.
Id love to do my JAA cpl in the us but its actually more expensive for me. Its approx 75,000 euro for everything includes books & Uniform( You know stuff you dont think about but is costly), all training exams and accommation at FSA, commercial training here in Ireland ,exams etcetc. You wouldnt buy a site here for 75g!
Id recommend anyone who wants to do a JAA license to check out Pilot training college Ireland. Its a fairly new course but really fantastic school...one major plus is the landing fees at the airport are £1! Cant go wrong
