China Southern Airlines, (NYSE:ZNH)(HKSE:1055)(SHA:600029) -
www.cs-air.com/en - with the largest and most technically advanced
aircraft fleet in The People's Republic of China announced that it
will be the first mainland airline to recruit 100 pilots who are
willing to pay for their own flight training.
Chinese airlines normally cover all the costs of pilot training
but China Southern is aiming to train more pilots at their own expense
to meet the crying demand, according to Yu Renlu with Civil Aviation
Administration of China (CAAC).
The civil aviation sector is expected to have a shortfall in
demand of almost 10,000 pilots by 2010, said Mr. Yu.
More than 90 percent of China's pilots are trained by the
Sichuan-based Civil Aviation Flight University of China (CAFUC) under
the supervision of the CAAC, which recruits up to 1,000 pilots a year.
Pilot trainees have to study and train in the CAFUC for four years
before they graduate with a license and a bachelor's degree.
Airlines spend almost a million yuan ($130,000 USD) to train each
pilot, said Wang Renjie, of China Southern.
Chinese pilots trained in this way are usually obligated to serve
long-term contracts with the same airline.
Mr. Yu said the country would urge the CAFUC to produce more
pilots but at the same time seek alternative training scenarios in
order to provide more pilots to meet the market demand.
The 100 pilot trainees under the China Southern program would
study at the CAFUC for two years, including 18 months of flight
training to get a license, except for those who failed the
examinations.
Men aged 20 to 27 with at least a high-school diploma could sign
up at the website of China Southern for enrollment by the end of June,
said Mr. Si Xianmin, President of China Southern.
They are expected to pay about 652,000 yuan (84,675.3 U.S.
dollars) each for the training and are allowed to work for other
airlines when they fulfill the required service for China Southern
Airlines.
Trainees could get bank loans to cover expenses with China
Southern Airlines acting as the warrantor, and they would be expected
to repay the loans from their salaries within 10 years.
China's pilots can expect to earn around 2.9 million yuan over 10
years and the bank loans along with the interest would be about
900,000 yuan.
