Discussion on self-funded students applying for private flight license

One day in March, 2009, single-engine and double-engine trainers took off one after another, hovering at high altitude and landing in an orderly manner ... cheung chau island Airport in Wuzhou, Guangxi showed a busy scene. The airport is the training base of Shenzhen Airlines Kunpeng International Flying School. At present, many pilots who learn to fly at their own expense are receiving strict flight training here. "Today's flight lasted 42 hours, 18 took off at 9 am, and the flight training ended at 18: 32. Two students passed the exam and flew safely for a day. " This is the training bulletin of Kunpeng Flight School on February 28th. Up to now, nine self-funded flight students in the school have successively obtained private pilot licenses for civil aviation equipment.

"Pilots are made of gold."

"In order to realize your blue sky dream, openly recruit 250 self-funded flight students for the whole country!" June 5438+October 2007 10, at the inauguration ceremony of Shenzhen Kunpeng International Flying School, Shenzhen Airlines recruited self-funded flying students with a tuition fee of 600,000 yuan, which aroused strong public concern.

In fact, since the domestic aviation industry was opened to private capital in 2004, the shortage of pilots has become a bottleneck for the rapid development of airlines. Some private airlines even "dig" pilots through various means such as high salary temptation, official seal and wish. Shenzhen Airlines is also facing a shortage of pilots, but what they have done is to set up Kunpeng International Flight School, train pilots at their own expense, and introduce a large number of foreign pilots.

At present, it is a common practice abroad that people who learn to fly are just like learning to drive. After they pay the training fee and get a flight license, they are free to choose an airline job. As long as the airline checks the legality of its flight license and whether its flight technology can meet the flight requirements, it can decide whether to rent it. But in China, getting a flying license at one's own expense is still a new thing.

At Kunpeng International Flight School, students sign a 15-year labor contract with Shenzhen Airlines after graduation, and they can move freely after the expiration. It is understood that the cost of flight training for flight students during the flight academy is about 600,000 yuan. After the flight students are hired by Shenzhen Airlines, according to the current income level of Shenzhen Airlines pilots, the total income of 10 normal flight can reach 3.3-4 million yuan, ranking among the top three domestic mainstream airlines.

"Pilots are made of gold." Relevant persons from the human resources department of Shenzhen Airlines compared the training costs of pilots. He calculated an account: after four years of training in the flight academy, the state will subsidize more than 400 thousand yuan to train a pilot. Because every time only students fly to the sky for training, the cost per hour will be more than 3000 yuan, and the four-year flight training will take about 260 hours, more than 700 thousand yuan. After graduation, the cost standard of a pilot introduced by an airline is about 600,000-800,000 yuan. The newly graduated pilots have to undergo six months to one year of refitting machine training, each with 400,000 yuan. After the new co-pilot officially flies through training, it will cost 6.5438+0.2 million yuan to participate in the retraining twice a year stipulated by the Civil Aviation Administration. Five years later, the co-pilot training fee will reach 600,000 yuan. Five years later, the co-pilot was promoted to the front driver, and the training fee was 654.38+10,000 yuan. Only in this way can a pilot become a real pilot.

At your own expense, a more challenging life.

Yan Shuai is the first student who successfully completed the training of "Private Photography" course and passed the practical examination. When he recalled his flight learning process, he said that it was a wonderful thing to go from a student with no flight experience to a flight student who got a private photo. However, he also told reporters that it is not easy to get private photos of flights. In the process of learning to fly, both teachers and students will encounter unpredictable difficulties. "Sometimes, in order to fly several times, the teacher waited with us for several hours on the runway of Wuzhou training base in Guangxi. Wuzhou is a rainy city. Be fully prepared and put into flight training as soon as the rain stops. "

As early as the end of 2007, Long Yuan, a young man from Hunan Province, passed the physical, psychological and cultural tests and became one of the self-funded flight students of Shenzhen Airlines. Long Yuan recalled that after passing the written test and interview, Shenzhen Airlines gave him a choice: whether to be a corporate pilot or pay for flying. Long Yuan thought for a long time. After all, his family conditions are very general. If he had just graduated with a huge debt of 600 thousand, wouldn't the family burden be heavier? But if you choose a pilot at public expense, everything has been arranged, and there is no room for imagination in life.

Long Yuan said: "The biggest advantage of self-financing is to give yourself the opportunity to compete with others. At my own expense, I will think I must work hard. /kloc-after 0/5 years, there may be a better opportunity waiting for me, but if it is at public expense, I will feel that it doesn't matter whether I work hard or not. Anyway, I will stay in one place all my life. "

According to Long Yuan, among the first batch of 160 students of Shenzhen Airlines, everyone had the opportunity to choose public expenses and self-expenses, but everyone chose to pay at their own expense. According to the reporter's understanding, every pilot studying in Shenzhen Airlines at his own expense must sign a contract with Shenzhen Airlines for 12- 15, and he can move freely after the contract expires. If he changes jobs during the contract period, he will pay different amounts of liquidated damages according to the number of years. Otherwise, there will be no public expenses. Once the contract is signed, it is for life. If you want to seek better development, you can only pay a high price compensation.

Shenzhen people are enthusiastic about the driver's license of self-funded pilots.

From March 26th, 2009, Shenzhen Airlines will recruit flight students in seven cities including Shenzhen, Fuzhou, Qingdao, Urumqi, Hohhot, Beijing and Changchun. After admission, flight students will be sent to several flight schools abroad or at home for training. After completing the training and passing the exam, the flight cadets will get a flight license.

The huge tuition fee of several hundred thousand yuan and attractive employment prospects, what do candidates and parents think of this brand-new "private photo"? As early as 2007, China Southern Airlines recruited 100 pilots at its own expense, which aroused strong repercussions in Shenzhen. Although the tuition fee is as high as 720,000 yuan, in just ten days, 2,600 people have signed up all over the country, including more than 250 people in Shenzhen. The recruitment of flight students from seven cities this time is expected to attract the enthusiasm of parents in Shenzhen.

It is understood that there are the following factors for Shenzhen candidates to register enthusiastically. First, there are many high-income families and the concept of financial management is relatively fashionable. Xiao, a senior three student in Yucai Middle School this year, said that when he learned that Shenzhen Airlines would continue to recruit flying students at its own expense, he would be willing to apply for it as long as he met the requirements. He said that in 2007, some of his classmates signed up. Although it was not accepted, it added a life experience. He said that his family's income is moderate, and more than 600,000 tuition fees can be taken home. If it is insufficient, he can borrow money from the bank. His parents said that children earn more as pilots and the family burden will not be heavy. Moreover, children will consider the pressure of repayment when studying, which can cultivate a better sense of responsibility.

On the other hand, candidates from Shenzhen and the southeast coastal areas have more contact with the civil aviation industry and are easy to aspire to the career of pilots. At present, Mr. Dong, who works in a high-tech company in Shenzhen, took part in the recruitment examination organized by the school a few years ago, but he still regrets not taking the final re-examination because of an urgent matter. Knowing that Shenzhen Airlines is about to organize pilot recruitment, Mr. Dong is going to ask the company for annual leave. He said that his family also supported his idea.

Twenty years ago, looking for a driver in the street; Twenty years later, the streets are full of drivers. The shortage of pilots in China now is just like that of drivers 20 years ago. In recent years, with the commissioning of domestic private airlines such as Okay, Chunqiu and Lianying, and the emergence of new airlines such as Chongqing Airlines and China Western Airlines, the shortage of pilots has escalated again, and sky-high compensation caused by the resignation of pilots has occurred from time to time. China Civil Aviation has about 10,000 pilots. According to relevant data, in 20 10, the flying time of the whole industry will reach 2.943 million hours, with an annual growth rate of 7.5%. In the next six or seven years, about 6,500 pilots need to be trained nationwide. It is estimated that China will need at least 40,000 pilots in the next 20 years. In the 1 1 five-year plan being formulated by the Civil Aviation Administration of China, China is required to train at least 2,000 pilots every year. In fact, in recent years, many private airlines have begun to recruit and train pilots at their own expense or semi-at their own expense, and the training fees range from more than 400,000 yuan to 1 10,000 yuan. It seems that in the near future, learning to fly at one's own expense will become a trend, and the pilot's driver's license is no longer as "high above" and out of reach as before.
