Warning do not enroll at Airmed 39-0

Key suggestions for future pilots and flight attendants. 

This page was created by former students, employees and persons closely related to aviation and pilot school Airmed 39-0 with offices in Valencia (Spain). The idea of this article is intended only to discuss our own experiences of this company. In this document we will not talk to other flight schools and we will not give any opinion on them. The sole purpose is to give a serious and objective opinion about our experiences in the controversial flight school Airmed 39-0, trying to take a serious view and independent. For a long period of time were written countless articles and comments related to Airmed and other flight schools in different aviation forums in Spanish. For this reason the idea of creating this page to tell the truth about the courses in Airmed EMPART 39-0 and the real prospect of employment for pilots who have completed their courses. If you come to this website is probably why you are interested in starting a pilot course or a course to become a flight attendant and possibly attending one of the courses organized by the school Airmed. If this is the case, please "read carefully before making a final decision."

Read carefully before deciding

If you wish to become pilots, you should know that the current situation on the labor market is the best. The number of unemployed pilots, flight attendants and between seeking their first job, is very high and we are seeing a relatively large number of unscrupulous companies who have decided to exploit this situation for the economic benefits that this practice will produce . These unscrupulous businesses exploit the desperation of the new pilots and hostesses in search of that beautiful place of work with abusive economic demands ... Considering the high cost it takes to train a pilot (an amount that can reach up to € 75,000) we can see how many students at the end of their course, after receiving a license, they realize that total number of flight hours is not enough for any job. At this point you have to buy a larger number of flying hours so accederr their first job interviews. However, in many cases, this rise in the number of total flight time is insufficient. So many pilots choose to return to open their wallets again and participate in a course of "Flight Instructor" in the hope that eventually they can find a job within a flight school. Unfortunately, due to the glut of recent years, with a number of pilots and flight attendants clearly above market needs, a good portion of these drivers can not enter either a flight school and face the need opening the wallet again and spend even more. Finally, the last chance for these people is to join a course in "Habilitacón Type", that really will open the door to fly on an airliner (The cost of such a course is around € 30,000 .) Even in the latter case, the trainee pilot shall, at the end has no assurance of obtaining their first contract. There have been cases of people who were unable to get any work despite having gone through the training process are described here. If at the end we do a calculation of total expenditures, we can see that to get to fly a passenger plane, the total amount needed can approach or even exceed € 120,000. Given that those who want to enter the world of aviation make it nearly always personal vocation, we recommend that you choose can make a course "modular" instead of doing a course "integrated". Much better to start with the private pilot license (PPL), followed by a modular course, to avoid this way come in an exaggerated way in the world of aviation as is the case of an "integrated ATPL course." Later, if you want, so you can become a commercial pilot and in the meantime, you can begin to take the first steps in aviation and to meet people connected with itself. Thus, in a calm and stable you can decide whether to continue or, if you change your mind on the road, you can stop at any time without losing the amount already paid. A course on "Integrated ATPL, denied this possibility by the fact that once started, is needed to complete the course and pay in full before you can obtain a license to fly. In the opinion of the authors of this page The option therefore much better to choose a course of "modular" as it allows candidates to advance gradually pilot in the world of aviation in place of "integrated", which forces candidates to only one important step that once given, can no longer stop. There are many places where you can obtain a license from PPL in Valencia or the rest of Spain, the choice is yours. Of course, if time is money and you do not have problems economic as well as a possible job that awaits him at the end of your course, you can start a course perfectly integrated. However, we recommend looking for other flight schools in Spain with more seriously than the flight school Airmed 39-0. No give names of possible alternatives to the flight schools Airmed 39-0, and that is not the purpose of this page to promote any of them! If you want to become Hostess (TCP), the most important thing is make sure you have a good level of English and, possibly, we can say that about any other foreign language. At present the airline with a serious and decent story behind them, they give free training to their candidates, so do a course at a private school is particularly relevant. That the truth lies in the fact that the actual filters are a good level of English and good looks.

Why Airmed 39-0 does not seem to be the best option?

First, the minimum necessary to work as a commercial pilot are at least 100 flight hours as pilot in command. 39-0 Airmed The course has decided to lower the total hours of flight 145, which provides that the minimum number of flight hours as pilot in command "is under 100, that means that upon completion of the course Students will need to fill this gap in a flying club flying or renting a plane on their own and pay an extra amount out of pocket. Failure to fill this gap somehow, never find a job in the world of aviation. In addition, if you think once the course in becoming a "flight instructor", the minimum number of flight hours to begin the appropriate course must be at least 200 hours. Taking into account the number of missing flight hours (55) and the price at which the school sells flight hours, this means an additional cost of at least € 6,000. Moreover, the number of hours devoted to "theoretical classes" have been reduced to a minimum we consider clearly insufficient to acquire the minimum knowledge. Knowledge necessary to become an airline pilot and seriously good. The course is now shorter and may begin and end earlier, but it is very likely to end up like most of his students: with unapproved tests. In this case, you must repeat the tests are not approved and this extra expense of the student competition and also will be a economic cost and even a waste of time added. Every time this happens, the economic damage can reach up to 600 € for each call.

MCC Course

The MCC course (Multicrew - Course Co-operation), we believe that it is certainly the most important in the formation of a pilot who wants to work in an aviation company. Until recently devoted to this phase of training approximately 40 hours in a simulator, although we believe that this amount was already low. Today, the reduction has reached the incredible figure of only 16 hours of simulator. In our opinion, this is a serious mistake and a totally insufficient time to become familiar with what will be the future workplace as an airline pilot. Moreover, the arbitrary policy of blackmail, dismissals and temporary employment, has created a teaching group which we believe are inappropriate for the functions they perform because of the limited experience he has in his possession. The history of legal actions initiated by the Labour Inspectorate against the 39-0 Airmed flight school and the existence of complaints, prosecutions and economic embargoes, are very important factors to consider when to begin a course that requires as high an economic investment. Bearing in mind that once you begin your training need around two years to obtain a license, such news is not very utitli to help you focus solely on their academic studies. The Airbus 320 simulator used by Airmed 39-0, but is valid for the course MCC has not been fully manufactured and certified by the aircraft manufacturer Airbus (Airbus Industrie). It's just a simulator home after buying the parts to do, which is able to get students to go crazy, and their instructors and managers of the school. In addition, although it is designed to move and to simulate the flight of a real airplane, one must admit that the end is unable to move .. 39-0 Airmed also have another simulator, basic and very old. This is a Frasca 142 FNPT I, that despite the lies, has lost the certification given by the Spanish Civil Aviation Authority for a long time. Therefore, the hours of training conducted in this simulator are invalid! Usual, due to the high percentage of unemployed pilots, receive an offer for a course of "flight instructor, after completing the course, hoping to work in school. Currently this course costs around € 8,900. What do not say, in Airmed 39-0 is that all flight instructors before they can fly, have to do many hours of work as a supervisor on the floor (Many of them have spent hundreds of hours on the floor) receiving a salary of approximately only 3 € gross per hour. empeiza Once you fly, the gross wage reached only € 10 per flight hour. If you do not fly, do not eat! If by chance, after completing the course, gets to be a teacher and give lessons to new students, you know he will win only if those lessons are. If you become sick or unable to provide those classes will not receive any income. So what happens if you go on vacation? Since you do not is giving lessons to students, does not pay! If you get a contract with a salary (which by law can not fail to pay a salary), if you have not given a number of classes in proportion to the pay to which, will reduce the number of classes to be given months later (no matter if students are going to see disrupted your plan of study). A true example of respect and seriousness to the work of others ... As you can see the current status of the profession of commercial pilot is complicated enough not to be very careful in how you spend your time, but especially your money. From experience we have seen how Airmed 39-0 has left hundreds of dissatisfied customers, or employees angry and shattered its partners. Despite remain open, despite their lack of professionalism, we have to be careful before allowing you to put your hands on your savings. A little history 39-0 Airmed experienced its golden age around 2000, when there was a serious internal management group and professionally prepared, which today are not in charge. The Director General of the time, with an impeccable resume, he decided to leave and go to a school from others in those years had a better reputation. Unfortunately, over time the school has reached the level of 39-0 Airmed not know whether his fault or not. Anyway, back to flight school Airmed 39-0, behind the general director could attend a biblical exodus of large numbers of workers were: Chief of the Force Training (HT), Head of Study Program (CGI) Chief Instructor (CFI), and many professors and flight instructors finally submitted their resignations. Within the management group is today, a person whose candidature has been rejected repeatedly by the Civil Aviation Authority for not meeting the minimum requirements imposed by JAR-FCL, for the post of Chief Education Corps (HT .) However, the school has decided to impose responsible. Finally, the icing on the cake was the appointment of current Chief of Program of Study (CGI). A figure that shines more for its physical beauty, but not for aeronautical development and that this does not exist. All internal teachers are alumni whose only problem is that have no experience or knowledge to be able to give educational approach to theoretical classes and a certain level of quality. This is due to the fact that no teacher would never stoop to the inhuman conditions imposed by Airmed Investigation of accidents, sanctions, inspections of the Ministry of Labour, the dismissal of lawsuits ... 39-0 Airmed has undergone numerous inspections by the Ministry of Labour. On several occasions, these inspections were conducted because of complaints made by workers themselves. Many of them could no longer accept being without social security. Illegal action. As mentioned, 39-0 Airmed has often arbitrarily large numbers of illegal dismissals, with the related complaints and compensation claims by former employees and workers. Unfortunately, despite the failures, in most cases, in favor of former employees by the court of jurisdiction, 39-0 Airmed company repeatedly has refused to comply with these rulings. For this reason it has been subject to several economic embargoes and new RRC. Finally, the long list of accidents in flight during their training, are not encouraging news. The full list is on the website of Development so that you can see for yourself. That said, the final decision is in their hands while we can not do anything but publish our views and do our best wishes for your future in the world of aviation.

Thank you for your kind attention.
