The first
batch of Cebu Pacific Cadet Pilots—once applicants with diverse backgrounds,
are set to assume First Officer duties with the carrier by the fourth quarter
of 2019. Application period for the eight batch of Cebu Pacific Cadet Pilots is
from August 9 to 18, 2019.
Clark, Pampanga,
August 2019 - Leading Philippine carrier Cebu
Pacific (CEB) is searching for a new batch of 16 recruits to enter its cadet
pilot program. The Cebu Pacific Cadet
Pilot Program is a “study now, pay later, zero-interest” training
program to become full-fledged commercial pilots with guaranteed employment
with the airline.
The program
is open to all Filipino citizens who are college graduates, proficient in
English and be in good physical condition. There are no preferred college
degrees, and applicants need only have an average grade of at least 80% or its
equivalent in subjects related to Math, Physics and English.
The program entails 52 weeks of week
integrated flight training, theory and education at Flight Training Adelaide
(FTA) in Adelaide, Australia—one of the best aviation schools in the region.
They will also undergo an additional four weeks of training to obtain a Pilot’s
License under the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines.
Seventy-four
cadet-pilots are currently undergoing training at FTA. CEB’s first batch of
Cadet Pilots is wrapping-up licensing and is expected to assume First Officer
duties by the fourth quarter of 2019. A second batch of Cadet Pilots will be
graduating from FTA next month.
CEB cadet-pilots need not worry about
expenses related to the flight training, as the airline will shoulder the costs first—including a stipend, and amortize the payment for the course while
they are employed. The entire program will be financed by Cebu Pacific,
and successful cadet-pilots who enter the CEB corps of pilots will reimburse
the cost of the program through salary deduction over a maximum of ten years.
Application
period for the eighth batch of Cebu Pacific Cadet Pilots will run from August 9
to 18, 2019. Interested applicants may apply for the program through https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/6ZSZDBK.
