Simcenter / Indigo
Hi Guys ,
I m planning to go to simcenter as well end of july probably.
Apparently they have a contract with Indigo Airlines in India and give a chance to First Officers with no time on type to get a commercial airline job after that .
Indigo looks like a good company , lots of good things are being said about them , and to be honest a year in india to get 1000 hrs doesn t sound have bad to get into a major airlines.
If you could give me some info about the real price though i d appreciate it, all i ve heard was that i had to pay 12500 USD and that was it , plus hotel and food of course ....
Is it still the same once u join or do they have some other surprised paiements ?
thanks in advance ....

g5sp , seen an add on climbto350.com for non-rated A320 FO positions in India, catch was, willing to pay for own rating. No time on type and a job at the end. Applications were to SimCenter..! the price quoted was $12000 USD, i would assume that you would also have to cover living expenses while you were there.
Hope this sheds a little more light.
Cheers

Ladies and Gentlemen
The minimum requirement is 1,000 hrs total time or 500 multi-time for us Expats
At these hours, SimCenter will require you to do the Jet Intro and Glass Cockpit Technology course on top of your type rating.
12,500 USD for TR and another 20,000 USD for the other two subjects.
Sorry to burst your bubble.

The TR is only 5 four hour sim rides. 20 hours??Wow that's a quick TR.
Do airlines accept this. Or 32 hours if paired (16 +16) 8 sessions.
Airbus do 15 sessions and most airlines do the same or slightly less if no MFTD available.

Problem is, I have an ICAO and will be getting the FAA as well. --- NO JAA.
I was thinking about it but, geezzz..... 12 ATP subjects to complete again just to get JAA. My hair will start turning grey by the time I start the first.
This gives me the Sh*ts. Why can't the aviation community just have one standard. Currently we have ICAO, FAA, and JAA. So, it effectively disqualifies you to work in some other countries.
So what happens if I have an ICAO and FAA license with 2,000 hrs in an Airbus ?
Probable reply " I'm sorry sir, we need JAA license ".
Heaven help us if they start to even think of having different rulings on RVSM on different parts of the world.
ETOPS already has it's specifics.

Spoke to Simcenter today. It seems like a good program. I just dont know all the information and it makes me a little nervous that after the TR, you are not guaranteed a Job. If anyone has been through their programs before, it would be nice to hear what they have to say.

Atlas jet will hire you if you have time on type. I belive it is 250 time on type and 1500tt. You will be based in Saudi Ariabia (i don't know where). The pay is dame good, much better than India.
If u want to convert your license to JAA, the best way is to get 3000 tt and 1500 pic in an aircraft greater than 30000 KG. You will be exempt from all 14 exams.

Please enlighten on this JAA stuff: you get 14 matters exemption once you have the right experience?
What if, for instance, the pilot have more than 15K, including 11K PIC airline jet time, under ICAO licenses and certificates?

Fullforward!
Do you have PIC (1500) time in an airplane that weight more than 30000kg you are golding. I'm not 100% sure if you will be exempted from all the subjects, but that is what I have heard from several flight schools that convert licenses. YOU WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO FLY UK REGISTERED AIRCRAFT. I don't have that experience so once again I don't know for 100%. Please check JAA website regarding this issue. But I'm pretty sure.
Regarding Sim Center let me tell you guys that Henry George is a bussines man and he has nothing against taking money from you. Such as paying glass cockpit transition or jet transition a bunch of other bull**** that you don't even need to do before going to Indigo. Dont get me wrong he is a very good man and helpful. If you have 1000tt, or 500 multi engie, get a type rating from simcenter and apply through Agencies or go to CAE.
Just be careful going to different Type Rating organisations they like your money.
