Primary course is the honeymoon period, officially end work at 530? But... you'll find out when you start the course hahaha

Goodluck to all those applying or still under training. Everything in SAA is the honeymoon period. OJT is where things start to get real and challenging. Can range from minimum 3 months up to a year (maybe less now) before termination. So have to be on your toes all the time.

Pay wise you get your basic salary during SAA training and OJT. After being rated, you get additional % operational allowance. The withheld bonuses during the training period will be given after you get rated (ie. Passed OJT and all the necessary checks). Can be quite a decent sum.

Just remember ATC is not all fun and games. It's a serious job so don't join for the "glamour" (if any).

Cheers.
