Hi, i have been following this thread with great interest.
The fact is that there is a racket going on there regarding hiring of expat pilots. The fact is that, the chief pilot of indigo is not even qualified on type and since joining has made no attempt to get himself qualified. He is actually a broker - a recruiting agent. Now, if the chief pilot of an airline is a recruiting agent with his own recruitment agency, what can you expect there?
The recruitment racket that is going on is taking indigo management too for a ride. did anyone notice the Ad that indigo came out with regarding pilots. the requirements were so stringent and the salary offered so low that the two did not meet and indigo is left with no pilots who have joined the airline with those experience levels. so, all these guys - vp ops etc now go to (dumb?) management and tell them that there are no pilots in the market, so they have to hire only new expats. when they hire new expats, who gets all the COMMISSION in typical indian style - vp ops and his gang and paid by the chief pilot's agency. So, as you can see there is a nice closed group formed with them making crores out of recruitment commissions and not letting any deserving pilots in.
life in indigo . All the tall claims made at the time of recruitment have fallen flat. There has been no salary increase so the newly relesed captain and 60+ experienced captain all get the same salary irrespective of the years put in with the company. Why? because the operations mgmt want existing pilots to leave the company so that they can go to company mgmt and tell them that there are no indian pilots available and the only solution is to hire expats and then the racket of chief pilot goes on. Get the picture?
And dont worry about the 2010 deadline regarding expats. Indigo has enough muscle (bribing capability) to easily get that extended. As you will see sooner or later. All the existing and incoming expats have been told not to bother about the deadline, indigo will take care of it.
The gang consists of VP ops (head), Sunita (his sidekick) and blue (recruiting agent). PK is also part of this gang now after he threatened to resign three times and took back his resignation.
Is the indigo management so blind?
Lets face it, INDIGO IS MAKING MONEY. We directly know the load factors flying around and with the cost of fuel being lowest in last few years, they are in profit but they do not want to tell this to us but we know.
