yes spicejet - 500USD and indigo - 375USD, the outright rip-off of cpl holders in india continues and yet we have no choice but to fall into their trap and fill their pockets, i just wish all of us combined would start making some noise about how such airlines clearly take advantage of our deplorable condition and bring it to the attention of the media, it's about time their money-making tactics need to be exposed, i'm sure arnab goswami on times now would do a great job! i mean 20-25k for a written exam and excess of 15lacs self-sponsored type-rating? - nothing short of ridiculous! one question i still don't have the answer to - if i go about getting my own 737/320 TR, i'd spend anywhere between 12-14 lacs, so on what grounds are airlines here increasing this cost to 18-20 lacs?
