Thread: A320 linetraining with Eagle Jet

Eagle Jet have a new agreement to do this with Wizz Air,...hmmm but Wizz want to train they own guys first..maybe a little delay perhaps

If the Type Rating was completed with the same, then shame on Eagle Jet. My concern would be, for a first type rating / zero 'Line Time' pilot, a four month delay will deliver a measurable 'Skill Fade'. Ridiculous, and a poor show. I had thought much higher of Eagle Jet and will revise my view. If you are joining purely for a 'Line Training Package' then clearly the above does not ...

Im in a similar boat but im doing the 737NG out in morocco and have been waiting since august but i should be receiving my clearance the end of next week and getting a start date.

I am also on the list, did my A320 TR and now waiting for 1,5 month. They said it will take 3 months. (on the list)

Sounds like typical Eagle Jet. 4 Months, well thats life I am afraid. As for Skill Fade, you have just passed a type rating, you do not yet know how to fly the aircraft, not really anyway, thats what your line training is for. To be fair though, you should be upto speed on the books.

ok. Thanks for your replies. I don´t know if Eagle are starting to work with Wizz Air or not. I called Eagle Jet and was told that they have something up and coming but he couldn´t say when.. I was told that I am in the next group that will be sent out though. And regarding the keeping up my Airbus skills while waiting I don´t believe that´s an issue. I keep myself up to date with the FCOM´s (...

Danishpilot, are you waiting for the JAA or ICAO program? Last I spoke with EJ they are not taking more pilots for the ICAO A320 program, has that changed recently? I was also informed the waiting period can be over 8 month?

It's a JAA type rating I have so I believe it can be both ICAO and JAA.. I haven't heard anything about a waiting time of 8 months. 2 weeks ago I was told they might have something coming up pretty soon - so let's see what happens. Have you got reliable info about the 8 months? I was told that they will not use Asian bases for a while - that's all. I do know that EJ are talking with some European...

Did you pay to EJ or only at the start of Line Training?
