I am working towards my CPL. This is very good info, well balanced on the positives and negatives. Thank you
absolutely great video, the detail you went into here was absolutely amazing.....I am so sorry it has only 5K views and 109 likes (108 just a sec ago)
There should be 5 million views and 109K likes
Hey Dan! Great content I believe I was your FO not too long ago! keep up the great work!
You were indeed mate. It was a pleasure flying with you!
I've just subbed to your channel too :)
A Great reunion
Great and brave info, thanks PK.
Enjoying the book so far
Thank you very much for the video!
Great video from a PPL pilot in Australia
HOPE IT WILL BECOME BETTER 👍🤲❤️🌼, IMPORTANT FOR EXAMPLE THE SHORT DISTANCE - EASY LANDING 🤲🌼👍🌷☀️GOOD LUCK
as an Indonesian, I can tell you that foreigner life in Indonesia still better off than the local one. but again Indonesia, for better or worse is like a durian fruit..you either going to madly love it or you hate it or in the middle, sometimes you have the urge to eat the fruit but other time you cannot stand near anyone who just eat that damn fruit half an hour ago.
Thanks for sharing. From Singapore ingapore
Hey Dan, I was looking at the FAA license stuff for Indonesia- my question is if you could shed light on weather this counts towards US FAA license’s?
great video
Thanks a lot dan this was very informative
Glad it was helpful!
Hi capt, there's a little question that I really want to confirm that may I bring a fishing rod in a pipe with a length of 175cm and a diameter of 10cm on a Susi Air flight for a fishing trip. Thank you capt.
Thank you for this video.
I have recently graduated a flying school and have applied for Susi Air. I know I will have less experience than other potential applicants, but I am hopeful.
Did you get the job?👀
Coordinates for 2:40? That’s an amazing lookout.
Hi Dan, I have a new Zealand cpl ,do I have a chance with susi?
Can I get you to sign a book for me? Can't wait to read about the adventures.
How many flight hours do you need before you can apply?
Looking forwards to fly PC6 as student PRIVATE PILOT LICENCE .....
Thanks so much for sharing this. One question: I see a lot of UK pilots flying there. Do US pilots ever make it to Susi Air? Thanks again. WLBS
This is actually a common question which I receive. I might add it in a later video.
The documentary, Worst Place to be a Pilot, followed predominently British pilots as it was aimed at a UK audience. In reality, British pilots made up about 20% or so of the workforce at the time. Susi Air has in the past preferred pilots from many nationalities as opposed to just one or two nations. It makes sense. This way they don't need to worry about losing too many pilots in the event of a recruitment drive in their home countries.
There have been a few US pilots. Not too many, however I think that was due to favourable career prospects in the US.
Are you looking to apply?
How many hours would a bush pilot log per year? (rough average). Thanks.
So the 600 - 700 hrs per year, is this SIC or ICUS for co-pilots?
The last real Adventures in the world! Flying with a "bush pilot" cool!
Did you or anyone you worked with catch malaria and/or dengue? I'm trying to get a handle on how hard it is to avoid it on the long term.
You probably got a 1% chance of getting it, if you got sick you'd be seriously unlucky.
Does Susi still recruit FOs?
Can I obtain a PRIVATE PILOT LICENCE aviation from Susi air Company .
My nephew has just joined Susi Air as of October 2022 he now in training
2024 he is now a Captain for Susi
I trust Susi air - cause company owned a flight simulator - the rest is natures .
After they got on tv did they get flooded with new pilots because the world was suddenly aware of susi existing? Kinda making it hard to get into?
I'm afraid so. If it's anything like when I was in recruitment for Susi Air, they're probably getting 1-2000 applications a month.
There are some hacks to improve your chances though. Will upload another video in a few days with details how 😁
@@DanRichworth wow i figured as much. Thanks eh. I Appreciate the video
Did you guys fly IFR or VFR only?
If you check Susi air website they already removed the email for non Indonesian first officer position :(
@@frankhenriquez6283 in my mind by the time anything is wildly spread public its already too late to apply to be a pilot. Just like bitcoin. Bitcoin was good until it got media attention. By that time your chamce to get in was already gone
Does Susi air conduct PPL flying School ....... as a PPL student with Susi air - l am not aiming for the Papua high mounrain terrain nor politic - all l want is Private Pilot Official Licence - reasons during being a student both languages are important Bahasa Indonesian and English thanks to you .
