Wow... if ever the thought of "if it sounds too good to be true..." came to mind. Applied just to see what kind of crazy phone call I get, if any.

c172captain · March 5th, 2009, 01:55

And its Bali which is relatively cheap too

Hubbs · March 5th, 2009, 11:55

They charge $17,000 for a Private, no wonder the can afford to pay. Sounds like American Flyers, except they don't pay.

TXaviator · March 5th, 2009, 15:09

sounds awesome, if i had a cfi id be on it like white on rice!!!

Cessna414JJB · March 5th, 2009, 21:55

Nice new type of Cessna's too! Its the "Cessna Tecnam P92E!"

Sounds like a good gig in a cool environment.

v1valarob · March 5th, 2009, 22:53

Sounds too good to be true, and you know what they say.

I would love to hear from someone that is out there.

PGT · March 5th, 2009, 23:13

$51,000 for PPL-Comm.

I know people in the states who have spent WAYY more than that for the same licenses.
1 guy close to 100k in debt and no CFI tickets.

FlySooner9 · March 6th, 2009, 04:32

Geez... didn't anyone tell you that all high-wing trainers are Cessnas, regardless of the badge on 'em?

Sounds like a cool gig, though it's weird to think of working at an airport you can't find on Google Maps. Alas, though, I think the girlfriend would have to dump me and take the pets with her for me to be able to take this job and, as it turns out, I rather like both she and the fuzzballs.

If anyone does apply and hear back, I'd still love to hear more details.

Look at the photo gallery, all computer modeled pictures. Must not have any facilities.

HVYMETALDRVR · March 6th, 2009, 23:14

Its on climbto350 and it wasn't reposted after the other day... I hope it wasn't a recycle... I applied with 1390TT and 650 dual given... still nothing

the problem though is that there are dumbass people willing to pay for it

Maurus · March 9th, 2009, 14:20

I like how their photo gallery is filled with digitally rendered photos.

sdfcvoh · March 9th, 2009, 21:45

Are these the same people who owned IATA in Tucson? I understand he fled to that area of the world.

ProudPilot · March 11th, 2009, 13:00

Anyone heard anything back. Sent an e-mail out and no reply. I know they're still building it over there, but any word?

Nismaxdan · March 15th, 2009, 12:01

Did anyone get a reply form this place?

Red-Baron · March 15th, 2009, 12:20

Nop, applied about two weeks ago, no respond yet...

saria19 · March 19th, 2009, 19:23

I personally think this one of those too good to be true posts, mainly in that I don't think normal people in Bali would be chasing a pilot license, and also with the completely digital pics, I'm more than a little suspicious of this supposed "job".

HVYMETALDRVR · March 19th, 2009, 21:01

I haven't been to Bali but my roomate has spent a considerable amount of time both there and in Thailand. He explained that theres a huge crowd of affluent wealthy people there, not with the glitz and glam here in Miami, but a large wealthy retirement crowd from all over Asia and elsewhere. Bali is known for is beaches and mystique, though it has some nightlife. I'm guessing that crowd would we be a good portion of their flight training.

Not to say that this NOT a scam because it could be, but a flight school there wouldn't be completely out of place.

HVYMETALDRVR · March 19th, 2009, 21:02

In fact his exact were that I if I did get offered the job (which I didn't) was to "drop everything including your military commitment, and get on the next plane you can!"

7700 · March 24th, 2009, 01:40

i received a response, the positions have been filled
