Ask Captain Lim ~ All about Aviation

Hi Captain Lim

Do you know when is the Malaysia Airlines cadet pilot intake for 2008? I have heard rumors that Malaysia Airlines is stopping their cadet pilot intake from 2008 onwards because the company wants to save money on sponsoring their own cadets and instead, taking in private cadet pilots straight from the flying schools. Is this true?

Regards,

Daxmin
