Just Imagine you joined India's best flying school IGRUA to obtain CPL with an ambition to be an IndiGo junior co-pilot then by all means you are financially ****kked up because minimum qualification stands at 25 hours ME ( 15 actual + 10 SIM ) and IGRUA would offer you 20 hours ME ( 10 actual + 10 SIM ) So, you have to pay extra to already high fees of IGRUA to complete remaining 5 hours of ME and to top that once you happen to clear IndiGo CASS you have to complete what is called "SELF-SPONSORED" Airbus type rating program. I don't its cost but I think it should stand somewhere around 20 lakhs. So, overall you pay IGRUA FEE + EXTRA (1.5 lakhs) + Type Rating costs = 48-50 lakhs.
Isn't there any good Airlines which sponsor type-rating by themselves or if they cut down from salary is also acceptable but 50 lakhs straight up before your first job is undigestable. Say What ?
