Govt tightens up employment of foreign pilots | The Jakarta Post
Eagle Jet out of Miami keeps sending me "invitations" to fly for Lion Air.

The deal? I pay THEM $21,000 for 500 hrs in their PIC program. There are other fees above the $21K. After a year you are possibly given hiring preference, and he chance to stay as a skipper for something like $36k a yr.

I have never responded to their invitations.
