See the new website here: http://fly.susiair.com/

There are direct instructions as to the recruitment policy under "updates". I have pasted the information below:

Happy job hunting guys!

Have a look at my new workplace!

End of June Update

Hello guys

I realize its been quite a while since I last wrote on the blog and the reason is simple! I have a new job and have moved on from Susi Air. I am currently in Africa as a co-pilot on a King Air B200 flying charters. Just goes to show what a good platform Susi Air can be to prospective pilots. My time at Susi was great, learnt a lot, but most importantly, met so many nice people. Remember, its not what you know, its who you know!

Although I have left, I will continue to update the blog when I hear news from that side of the world. As of now, the consensus seems to be that the recruitment freeze is still in place. I would expect this to be lifted towards the end of the year as there are rumors of new aircraft (C208's) coming in.

Until then, if you have any questions, please give me a shout.

Cheers!

Recruitment freeze

Recently people have been telling me that there is a recruitment freeze in place at Susi Air for at least the next 2 months due to excessive crew numbers. 

I guess due to the slow turnover of pilots for various reasons, Captains are not moving on as frequently as they used to. The latest initial course only had 5 guys. Normally this number is around 8-12. Keep sending those applications though, as things can change quickly.

Happy landings!

DGCA new "250 hour" rule implementation

Recently the Indonesian DGCA announced a new rule regarding the hiring of foreigners by Indonesian companies. Apparently all foreigners need a minimum of 250 hours on the type they are being hired to fly before a Indonesian license can be issued. This only applies to Part 121 operators and NOT Part 135 (Susi Air). So you can keep on applying and hopefully get an interview!

Email address for applicants

I have been told that the only accepted email address to use for sending applications is:

recruiting@susiair.com

Please only use this from now on! Whether or not you will get a reply is a different story.
