For everyone who's keen on joining the Indigo Cadet Programme, I'd like to let you all know that I recently had the final selection phase, the interview, with Indigo Airlines - and I don't see anything wrong with it.
I met some very senior people from HR and Line Ops. I will not mention their names, sorry! But, they are were all very comforting about this program, and how it was a calculated program based on the number of airlines they plan to be inducting over the coming years, and the number of vacancies that would create.
They did indeed confess, that they were aware of the administrative issues at NFTI, and rightfully, administrative issues, high fuel costs, expensive pilot training courses and various other issues have become a global phenomenon faced by most, if not all, flight training schools. However, they were very confident that NFTI would sail through comfortably, and that their contract with NFTI laid down very strict norms/standards to which Indigo cadets are to be trained and the duration within which they have to complete their training.
In short, after speaking to the Airlines, my confidence in this program is reassured. If you must do your CPL & TR, this would be the ideal way to go about it. Atleast you have a pilot's seat waiting for you after you finish your TR. Moreover, it's with an airline where you wouldnt need to look for another job till at least 2025. Yes, till 2025, Indigo Airlines is here to stay. So go ahead, if you must do your CPL, sit for the written exam, do the CASS well, clear the interview - and be on your way
