This is what I found on their site:

http://www.sfa-india.com/kingfisher/kingfisher.htm

This training will be followed by a Type Rating Course conducted by Kingfisher Airlines on their ATR72 or Airbus A320 fleet (based on fleet availability and the cadet's performance).

What exactly do they mean by fleet availability and the cadet's performance.

KFA is charging 15,000,00/- for the A320 and NOT the ATR. the current batch which is in Miami is also self sponsored. the next batch starts on the 26th of June.

they are not hiring anyone on the ATR right now ... for a couple of months atleast.

Where are you guys getting all this info from.

Does 15 lakh! is only for A320 typerating or it includes Multi-crew
Co-operation Course?

I'm not with KFA ... i wish i were ...

I think the 15L does cover the MCC and aparantly CAT II/III as well ... i need to get the low down on this though ...

Hello-anyone aware of any Indian air carriers recruiting cadet pilots?. Also have any of you done your DGCA approved FAA CPL/IR training at OFT in Florida? if so, how do you rate the establishment/training there?.

i don't think there are more cadet programmes in india for now
already there are thousands of CPL holders unemployed
they will rather take those instead of looking for cadets

anyways i am not sure of other stuffs in india
cause i dont live in india but i read a lot of aviation news on india

try for etihad cadet programme
