Feeling sick!

Good morning to all.
I'm feeling not so good today.
My nose is blocked one way and keep sneezing around.
Me no likey!

Good thing is today is holiday and of course no classes.
My brain tend to go numb because one day so much input to store.
Arghh.. Sometimes, I just keep looking at the instructors and
say in my heart, "Sir, can u give us a break?"

Everyday I have to revise what have been learned
because you'll never know if the instructors want to
ask you questions or maybe want you to explain
in front of the class.

For god sake, I don't like it but I have to bear with it
and somehow it helps me in my study.
I cannot be lazy.
Must keep that in my mind.

So, as for today, I don't planned what to do yet.
Opps. I have to go now.
I think my laundry is done and I want to hang them outside under the sunshine.

Some pictures to share with you :


is it a strike? definitely not. just waiting for photoshoot session.

Demand for pilots and crew to soar

PETALING JAYA: The demand for pilots and other cabin crew is expected to surge next year in line with the expansion of the local airline industry.

Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) flight operations director Capt Datuk Yahaya Abdul Rahman said the aviation industry would soon provide more job opportunities as local airlines were expanding aggressively.

He said Malaysia Airlines were buying new aircraft in the near future, and would be needing more pilots.
“There is no need for pilot trainees to worry,” he said, adding that although it may be difficult for them to secure jobs at the moment, the situation would soon improve.

Yahaya said the eight flying schools in the country licensed by the DCA were training pilots for the expected increase in demand.

The Star reported yesterday that the number of flying schools in the country had quadrupled from two to eight in three years, resulting in some 500 fresh pilots being jobless.

Royal Selangor Flying Club president Major (R) Abdul Razak Hashim attributed the current jobs shortage in the aviation industry to the economic downturn.

“The demand for pilots will shoot up by next year,” he said, adding that in the meantime, trainees could apply to join the country’s air force to gain diverse experience.
He advised trainees not to be choosy with jobs, and not to “do it for the glamour.”

“Don’t insist on working only for the commercial airlines,” he said.
Razak suggested that local flying schools offer training programmes accredited by European Union (EU) countries, which would make them marketable there.

“Malaysian flying academies currently provide licences that are only recognised locally,” he said, adding that it limited the new pilots from joining other international airlines.

let's fly high!
