Paying upfront is way better then getting paid in peanuts considering we will have to spend 20+15 Lakhs for being Online.
So paying 15 upfront is better than waiting for salary for months and then getting pay after deduction of almost 50%.
36 months or 18 months still they have to face DGCA/WPC/AF Medicals which can eat up atleast a year.Plus the training cost is way bigger than non IGRUA one's.
Its a jackpot that few lucky ones get and its all well deserving for this pilots.
