飛機師的工作

An aviator or an airman is a person who flies aircraft for pleasure or as a profession. The word is normally applied to pilots and flight instructors, but it can be applied more broadly, for example to include people such as wing-walkers who regularly take part in an aerobatic display sequence.
The word aviatrix was used to refer to female aviators, reflecting the word's Latin root, but that usage is now depreciated. In civilian aeronautical usage, an airman is analogous to a seaman in nautical usage. As a gender-specific term, its use is also depreciated. In U.S. Federal Aviation Administration usage, an airman is the holder of an airman certificate issued by its Airmen Certification Branch.
Civilian pilots fly privately for pleasure, charity, or in pursuance of a business, for non-scheduled commercial air transport companies, or for airlines. When flying for an airline, pilots are usually referred to as airline pilots, with the pilot in command often referred to as the captain.

[edit] United States Legacy airlines such as American Airlines, United Airlines, and Delta Air Lines, long considered the most prestigious and lucrative employers, have slashed their pilot payscales and benefits in the face of fierce competition from low-cost carriers. In fact, Southwest Airlines captains and first officers both start off with significatly higher salaries then the legacy carriers. As of May 2004, median annual earnings of airline pilots, copilots, and flight engineers were $129,250. [2] However, such salaries represent the upper level of airline pay scales. Salaries at regional airlines can be considerably less - though according to the Bureau of Labor statistics, median annual earnings of commercial pilots were $53,870, with the middle 50 percent earning between $37,170 and $79,390. [3] Pilots making very large salaries are typically senior airline captains, while pilots making very small salaries are generally low-seniority first officers. In practice, most pilots make reasonable average working salaries. A large variability in salaries can easily skew an average. Thus, the use of median wages to gauge such things as salary. Where large gaps are seen between a median figure, and a lower bound figure, this usually reflects those who don't stay in that particular field. Viewing this middle ground in context to the upper bound numbers can give a burgeoning pilot an idea of what to expect if they are able to stay with flying as a full time career. Based upon voluntary pilot reports, many US airline payscales are listed here: [4]. Most airline pilots are unionized, with the Air Line Pilot's Association(ALPA) being the largest pilot labor union in the United States.

[edit] International In some countries (e.g., Pakistan, Thailand and several African countries), there is a strong relationship between the military and the principal national airlines, such that many or most airline pilots come from the military; that is no longer the case in the USA and Western Europe. While the flight decks of US and European airliners do have many ex-military pilots, they have just as many, if not more, pilots who spend their entire career as civilians. With the increasing popularity of European-style airline training schools in the USA and the fact that military training and flying, while rigorous, is fundamentally different in many ways from civilian piloting, it seems likely that the percentage of ex-military pilots flying for the airlines will continue to decrease.

10年內有機會升為機長

與其他行業一樣，北上當飛機師，最初待遇可能不及香港，學員剛畢業後當第一副機師，以往收入約9000至1萬元人民幣，今年可望達1.2萬元至1.5萬元，每兩三年內可望晉升一級，成為第二、第三副機師，每級加薪約3000至4000元，10年內有機會升為機長，月薪躍升至4萬至7萬元，累積20年經驗可成為教練機師。「長遠而言，內地機師薪金雖較低，但晉升機會高，20年內賺的錢，不一定少於在港當機師。」羅耀強說。

港人北上當機師，良好英語是其中一個優勢︰「中國民航總局規定2008年機師需轉用英語溝通，港人慣用英語，而且有國際視野，這些都是優勢。」羅氏續說。

欲報讀該院人士，年紀須在30歲以下，具備大學學位，身高於1.7米以上，體格健康，視力良好（近視少於200度），並決定以機師為終身職業。神州飛行協會將先安排有志報讀人士，到學校參觀，了解情，再決定是否報讀。

******************** ******************** ******************** *

當機師屬長遠事業，航空公司與飛機師的合約由5至15年不等，報讀前應考慮清楚是否願意以此為職業，絕不可抱不妨一試的心態。

另外，有興趣報讀者亦要留意，飛行學院以普通話授課，學員普通話須達一定水平，最少要聽懂內容一半以上﹔學院宿舍的居住環境亦不及香港。

國泰本地飛行員培訓今年招36人

想親身經歷訓練過程，先要從逾2000名申請者中，成為脫穎而出的數十人。培訓計劃由1998年開始，每年招募11至34人不等，今年的聘請程序已經開始，招募目標為36人。

國泰的挑選過程包括多方面技巧，申請者要經過4輪甄選，包括面試、知識、小組討論、身體檢查，更要到澳州參加為期兩周的飛行課程。

通過4輪測驗者 可到澳洲受訓


通過4輪測驗者，可到澳洲接受60星期的訓練，課程包括理論、飛行訓練、飛行導航訓練及考試、模擬駕駛訓練等，學員並會參加香港商用飛行員執照筆試，及香港民營運輸飛行員執照課程及筆試。合資格的學員，將正式成為二副機長。

晉升方面，二副機長再受訓後，可升為初級副機長、副機長，再升為高級副機長、機長等。成為二副機長三四年後，可開始成為副機長的訓練，由副機長升為機長則最少要7年經驗。

投考飛機師的過程十分嚴謹，因為每訓練一位學員，航空公司便得花費二百多萬元。要考取這筆獎學金，便得先通過許多關口，以確保能篩選一班飛行精英進行培訓。選拔過程長達四、五個月。第一個難關是考核你的英語水平、做智能測試；然後再要通過一次驗身，測試身體健康狀況是否合乎理想，以確保將來可以考牌。飛機師的身體狀況對飛行駕駛十分重要，故這方面的要求也特別嚴謹。



第三個難關便是與一班考生進行分組討論 ，考官會問許多有關飛行的尖銳問題，劇集「衝上雲霄」考官所問的問題簡單得多了，現實裡的問題是十分困難的，而問題並沒有固定答案，目的只是想測試你的即時反應、分析能力、判斷能力，以及能否在危急中保持鎮靜，這些都是飛行人員必須具備的質素。最後一關便是往澳洲試飛，一位富於飛行經驗的考官會坐在你身旁，他先觀察你的飛行技術到達什麼水平，然後他會不斷教你新東西，看你能否很快地吸收新知識。



回港後，便是等報告，我沒有想過假如投考失敗等問題，只是一心想著要向著飛機師的目標進發。最後我也順利通過所有測試，成功成為早期的華人學員，並飛往英國接受為期一年的培訓課程。


不可以帶眼鏡!
你可以去圖書館借一本書叫"翹首振翼", 是國泰機師編制, 共出了三輯, 圖書館暫時只有兩輯, 有興趣做機司就要做多d功課啦!


我睇過1本飛機師手記,
係1個飛機師寫關於佢學飛既experience既
o係入面佢都有提到近視既問題,
1般人話飛機師唔可以近視,但係呢個講話係錯既
作者本身都有近視既,,
佢話話 原來飛機師係唔可以做激光矯視手術,
不過就可以帶con,,
只要你帶左arm既con之後你有正常視力就可以做飛機師架喇!

接受激光矯視手術後，會對夜間飛行做成一定的影響，所以大部分航空公司都不會錄取曾接受激光矯視的人。所以，如果你有近視而又想做飛機師的話，千萬不要做激光矯視手術，只要你眼球健康正常，證明自己戴上眼鏡或隱形眼鏡後能夠完全矯正視力。
