Flight Training Academy...? Nothing to be blame on!

For many student pilots out there....

I have seen quite lots of cases that : students are stucked for their training!

Well, some cases.... I feel sorry,indeed.
When I hear it... OMG~ But i couldn't help out anything other than putting sympathy on you.
Eg. The flight training academy went bankrupt in Australia. Money couldn't be refunded.
(Well, by the law, Ok~ I'm not so sure for overseas, but for Malaysia, yes! It's stated that it's depends on what type of company(flight training academy) be registered as. Once it has gone bankrupt, you really can't do anything on it other than just assuming you have 'invested' the money to the 'wrong academy' which 'failed' to provide you the training services.)

Some cases, student pilots are stucked due to the flight academy is going through some difficulty.
Same thing, you can blame it. At first, you have chosen to believe that gonna be the best school to provide you the flight training with that price! So why wanna complain for it? Again, assuming your 'invested money' has gone frozen for a short temporary then. Life has up and down. Nothing you can do, ain't you? Unless you're capable to help out and solve that 'big trouble'.

Some cases, student pilots are stucked due to their own. One who never realises his/her attitude has gone with problems, can actually cause whole course be delayed. With that, it be pointed to the flight academy again. What's the point? Your excuses will only be turn down with a shame later on. Sigh...

Some cases, student pilots are complaining after graduating, they are jobless. Well, did a University ensure you a job after you grad.? Think about it! Even the market demand outside is low, you still choosing to learn as a student pilot. Hence, who's false is that? Ain't a pilot should actually ready some works(research.. just like do up some flight plan before the flight depart?). Where's your effort before joining the flight academy? Therefore, who should be blamed?

Whatever the case may happen....
Guys and gals,
for the pilot wanna be,
for the real passion you have,
next time open your eyes 'big big'....check the history of the schools, check the current market...
whatever its gonna happen, ready to bear the consequences by yourself.
Honestly, I feel sympathy for it. But that's the 'decision making' which you had made beforehand. We are now adult. Learn how to bear the consequence by ourselves. Nothing to be blame on...BUT OURSELVES!

For those who got involving.. i'm sorry to hear and see it.
For those who got escaped from this situation..with the god bless, so with mine, all the best for your future undertaking!

Keep your flying passion alive and keep moving for your life!

Pardon for any typo,spelling mistakes and etc.

It's not Kung Fu Panda but kung fu-armed cabin crews

When you think about this article??
In Singapore's broken English, Iwill say...
"Nowadays, don't play play with the cabin crew on board man~!!! You won't know what ya gonna be later~~~ XD"

It's not Kung Fu Panda but for Hong Kong Airlines cabin crews, they learn wing chun, a form of kung fu that is characterised by short, sharp movements to deal with air rage.

The airline's deputy general manager for corporate communications, Eva Chan, said to South China Morning Post that all staff has been invited to enrol in the training but made it compulsory for cabin crews. On average, the airline has three incidents with disruptive passengers every week.

The idea to incorporate martial arts training came during a company function when senior manages watched a wing chun demonstration and a dance performance by cabin crew. A tailor made course was developed for the airline.

Maybe every cabin crew should learn a form of martial arts so that passengers with preying eyes and itchy fingers can deal with them, swiftly. But swift martial arts movements reminds me of Martin Yan's chicken massage.

This is your flight attendant speaking, I'm about to land your plane: Hostess steps in as pilot falls ill

Second in charge: Patti DeLuna helped land an American Airlines plane after a co-pilot fell ill

A flight attendant stepped in to help land a passenger plane after a pilot became ill.

Patti DeLuna has her pilot's licence but last flew more than 20 years ago - and even then it was a light aircraft.

But she voluteered without a second thought after the first officer of an American Airlines flight to Chicago developed flu-like symptoms.

When Captain Jim Hunter deemed his co-pilot to ill to fly, and realised no off-duty pilots were on board, he called on Mrs DeLuna to help land the Boeing 767.

She kept her cool and the plane, carrying 225 passengers and seven crew members, landed safely at O'Hare International Airport at 4.24pm on Monday.

Despite the feat, Mrs DeLuna said she 'didn't feel like a hero.'

'This was not heroic by any means. I was just trying to be part of a team,' the 61-year-old said.

'I was the best available (back-up pilot) they had on the plane,' DeLuna told the Chicago Tribune. 'I spent a lot of time in the cockpit looking at the flight deck panel and asking questions. My first question to the captain was, "Where are the brakes?"

Asked about the moment she was chosen, Mrs DeLuna said: 'That doesn’t mean I’m a hot shot pilot, it only means I was the best they had — I was the best candidate for the job at the time.

'I felt terrible for the first officer,' she went on. 'But I was so excited. It was way more fun than serving meals from the galley.'

Happy ending: American Airlines said the incident was handled well by staff (file photo)

Success story: The American Airlines flight was landed without incident at O'Hare International Airport, pictured, thanks to Mrs DeLuna's help

'I was thinking about survival. I was thinking about getting it down the best I could. I don’t feel like a hero. When you work on an airplane, you work as a team. You do whatever you can do to help.'

The flight attendant, from California, received a commercial pilot's license in 1970 and has logged about 300 flight hours on a Cessna, according to American Airlines spokeswoman Andrea Huguely.

She said Captain Hunter was 'exemplary' and 'so collected and so together.'

'He did everything by himself pretty much,' she said. 'I watched for traffic and listened for information from air traffic control just as a backup for him.'

An American Airlines man said the ill pilot was treated at a local hospital and released. His condition was not serious.

'The entire incident was handled very well on all accounts,' said American Airlines spokesman Tim Wagner.

Mrs DeLuna said she was thrilled to be back in the cockpit.

'The view is much better,' she said.

'It's exciting and it's fun and this was a real opportunity for me.'

No announcement was made to the passengers about the change of pilots, DeLuna said. The plane landed normally.

One pilot is fully capable of flying a 767. The plane is equipped with an array of computers which means it can fly and even land by itself.
