Indigo hiring via CAE

[niksmathew24]

Hey guys just came across the interesting news that indigo is hiring F/O's again.
But its through CAE. Is it worth getting it done from CAE who charges around 30,000$ for a 320 rating? And what are the chances of getting a job on successful completion?

Please shed all your wise thoughts :ok:

[flyhelico]

no way.

the indian immigration don't want foreign expats FOs!

[niksmathew24]

Well of course foreign FO's are not welcome here. But my question is will Indigo hire you or not? ie; Do you get an offer letter before you start your TR.
Or will you be out on PPRUNE crying:{ that CAE and Indigo looted you..

[avalanche007]

Well, before the TR, Indigo will give you some letter of intent of employment but as CAE says they won't guarantee you the job before TR.

That's the catch

Now who might have done this can give us a good idea of the scene

[Sciolistes]

Personal advice would avoid CAe. If my experience is anything to go by, you pays your money, does your assessment, pass, get told they'll contact in the next few days, then nothing. Never heard from them again. Granted I got another job a couple of months after so stopped chasing, but they're not square dealers.

you can not be hired, you need a work permit!.
The indian immigration have already canceled work permits of first officer 2 years ago and they have been asked to go home, it 's not going to change view the number of qualified Indian pilots looking for job.

Even if you receive a letter of offer or a job promess , it's not a contract and worths nothing.

[cyrilroy21]

I think you should post this in the southeast asia forum :ok:

[Capt_Lsd]

so i went ahead and filled up the application right,,and then i got a response too from Parul Huria,,,the weird thing is that when i try replying back to her on the same email she sent me a mail from ,i get a delivery notification failure in hotmail,,i tried sending her like 20 emails ,,didnt work,,anyone faced the same issue,,its firkin weird man??????

[niksmathew24]

What did they reply to you?
Could you please provide more details.

[Capt_Lsd]

they will just request you for basic info and your CV so that they could let you know about the selection procedure ,,that's all,,,when did you apply?

[flyhelico]

maybe it' s a scam from nigeria.

did you reply to a hotmail address or yahoo?

their email has been blocked for spaming.

[rkc_9009]

its not scam for sure...indigo employment page itself has the link to get registered...but i wonder when Indigo is having pilots type rated and who are yet to get into line apart from a few cadets who are yet to go for type rating(pls let me know if am wrong abt this or if this is something very old)...why would they advertise for more..

[Capt_Lsd]

well i replied to a CAE address form which i received the email from .

and i don't think its a scam or anything ,,but it definitely is a good business idea for cae and indigo to link up together,,and they do mention that there's no guarantee that we would get the job even after the type rating,,,so CAE would make their share anyways,

[optimus.Prime]

@CaptLSD,

I got the same email from the same person,replied back to her - Worked just fine!:ok:

[Capt_Lsd]

@optimus,,,
what email account do you have,,hotmail,gmail,etc???????/

[optimus.Prime]

@ captLSD,

Gmail it is!

But I wonder whether it even matters as to which acc. it is ?

[Capt_Lsd]

it matter's ,,,was a pain trying to send a mail from hotmail to her,,,,,very weird cause it kept giving me a delivery notification for the same address .....strange but true,,,,

[rkc_9009]

any reply from the person after sending the requested details??

[optimus.Prime]

Not so far.:=

Has anyone else received any further update from Ms.Parul Huria?

[Capt_Lsd]

[nishantgupta2009]

[nishantgupta2009]

has anyone received anything from indigo
or anyone having any idea when the event is about to happen

[optimus.Prime]

After the initial bout of Emails, nothing confirming the Date and Place!

[nishantgupta2009]

any more updates about indigo till now

[flyhelico]

I told you, it s only for indian guys.
there is no way to work in India if you don't have the nationality!

expat first officers are already out!their contract has not been renewed.

[pp070689]

can oci holders apply?

[nishantgupta2009]

did anyone got response from indigo till now

[shanx]

......

From the CAE website link :

Contact us: Parul Huria at [email protected] ([email protected]) (Notice, due to the number of applicants we cannot guarantee an immediate response)

[rkc_9009]

no wonder :)

[flyhelico]

usually ICAO holder can not apply(it was possible to get a validation), they will ask you for an idian CPL for Indian citizen.

[Capt_Lsd]

Common now,,,some one give me some good news about Indigo...any reply's yet after that basic one email ...????????????
Im getting impatient,,,there's something gotten rollin after a long time....

[rkc_9009]

we need to be patient...coz they would be receiving arnd 2000+ applications taking in consideration the age limit....and god knows how many if some ppl ignore to read that one line....and am sure thats a mammoth task for them to filter all those cvs.

[bauangupta]

i believe that age limit is 21 years

[optimus.Prime]

^ I believe that the age limit is 21 years.

Yes - Min.age 21 and Max 35 yrs for Jr.Co-Pilots.

[rkc_9009]

got to know that the assessment is on april 7th....

[optimus.Prime]

@ rkc2009,
any particular sources for that piece of info. or did you get a reply?

[rkc_9009]

i dint get any reply...one of my friends got it.

[Pradeep747]

Hi What do they test you on...share your experience with CAE selection process pl

[arvindme]

Will Indigo help in getting a loan from any banks for the TR???

[optimus.Prime]

^^^,
I don't quite think so but CAE (The TRTO) might.

@098098,
The assessments are scheduled to begin on the 7th of April 2010. Invites/Call Letters for the same have already been sent out.

[arvindme]

And the place of test is??????

How many have applied and how many r invited for April 07th session ?

[optimus.Prime]

^^^^,

Delhi.

Reg. the number - your guess is as good as mine!

[098098]

but none of my friends and even me dint got it by now

[arvindme]

I din't get it either.
I have mail them asking for details. Lets see:confused:

[Capt_Lsd]

whoever hasn't got called for the exam on the 7th,,will get called for the next exam which could be within a months time but only those that have applied before 26th Mar will be called..

Capt_Lsd :ok:

[princegulati121]

soft copy of what???
about the USD375 payment...we need to pay either by bank trasfer or WE can also give our credit card details to them and they will charge themselves...yesterday was d last day of payment

[princegulati121]

i didnt got any roll number...its just a call letter for assessment with date time and location ....

[098098]

thanks princegulathi

[princegulati121]

no conformation of payment recived......

[optimus.Prime]

@ nishantgupta & princegulati,

Care to bring us up to speed on the details of the assessment?

Out of the 25 shortlisted applicants, how many successfully got through the written and the subsequent battery of tests?

[nishantgupta2009]

Why are you asking 'Are they hiring again?'


Corrected to remove TXT spk!
HWB

[optimus.Prime]

@ nishantgupta,

We all guess so and hope so!:ok:

And am sure most of us would really appreciate it if you could kindly fill us in on the details of the Written (Av Knowledge) part of the ordeal!

[arvindme]

Is there a new batch commingup in the near future?

[optimus.Prime]

^^^^,

Guess so! I suppose IndiGo requires far more than 2 Trainee FOs for their upcoming deliveries.

that being said I hope the rest of the so-called "vacancies" haven't been already filled out by Kids with ultra-rich dads who'd trade the world to go and get to a RHS of a shiny new jet! (Read - Back-Door-Entrants).
:ok:

[davidjsamuel]

Indigo plans to recruit 30 trainee FOs totally.

[rkc_9009]

well I suppose those "2" have cleared only the CAE assessment.. they still have to clear the Indigo interview. I wonder was it really so difficult that only 2 got through the first rounds.

[arvindme]

Good that something is on in the program still. Just update ur resume.

[shanx]

sum1 can easily file a case against them if they are recruiting without proper interviews

yeah, easily file a case, easily lose lakhs of rupees to a money-sucker lawyer, and easily forget about the case within a few days.
(Your case's file will be put below a million other files and the next hearing of the case in court would probably be when our great grand children are having their convocation ceremony for their Masters degree.)

[optimus.Prime]

@ tejasdurve,

The entire point of a forum like PPrune is to share knowledge/views/opinions while remaining anonymous, aint it?

Ask any of the other 292067 (and counting) registered users!:ok:

[vie]

hey can anyone tell me how long its taking these guys to reply back. and does one need to send parul a seperate personal email or just the application on the cae website is sufficient???:confused:

[vie]

and when they say fill out the application form online what is thatt?? where is this application form ??

[airbus_capt]

well, the application form is the same thing in which you have filled all the details..thats the only thing you gotta do..no private email......all of us are waiting to get a call for the test

[daimond_dog]

is there any such thing called last date....for updating your profile and filling out form.....

[airbus_capt]

nope, no last date

[JustinH]

Its a long term program, just like other programs being conducted by CAE for different airlines. There is no such last date for applications, the applications are selected randomly and selected applicants are invited for the selection procedure. The CAE will not recruit 30-40 people in one go, it will be a gradual long term selection process, so u might see only 4-6 people in one batch and thn same nos in the nxt batch after few weeks or months. Its all about demand from the airlines. Good luck all!!!

[vie]

thanks airbus capt...though whats really surprising is that i havent even got a confirmation that they got my application...nothing ...absolutely :ugh:

[irockoo7]

Indigo has revised the minimum age requirement for the programme on the 8th april!
its 20 yrs now!

if they have renewed the FAQs then that means the programme is still on.. so interested candidates can apply to them!

[optimus.Prime]

@JustinH,

it will be a gradual long term selection process, so u might see only 4-6 people in one batch and thn same nos in the nxt batch after few weeks or months. Its all about demand from the airlines

Pretty apt! And I do assume thats what is happening!
The Last time CAE conducted such an "Intake" for IndiGo (back in mid-2008), the guys who made it through had to wait for a good 8-10 months before initiating their Type.

[airbus_capt]

any one else got a call yet for the next cae exam? can any1 please tell us what kind of questions to expect in the cae entrance?? will we have the dgca syllabus like numericals and stuff...and anything else?

[Capt_Lsd]

any body knows yet what is to be studied for these exams in particular,,???/
at least the guys who gave the previous exam could respond?

[avalanche007]

[avalanche007]

well i cant appear fro next 6 months
and i really dont plan to apply also

[optimus.Prime]

The next session has been scheduled for the 26th & 27th of May 2010.
:ok:

[romeo123]

[Halfwayback]

I have just deleted a number of posts because they were written in 'txt spk'. The forum rules are quite clear about this.

Any more with text speak will suffer the same fate!

HWB

[varun9650]

can anyone put more light on the types and difficulty of questions asked...:ugh:

[jayantjaiswal04]

Hi Avalanche,

Jayant

[avalanche007]

[jayantjaiswal04]

@Avalanche007

[avalanche007]

[daimond_dog]

[jayantjaiswal04]

@AVALANCHE007...are there numericals also in the test. If yes than wats their level...i mean are they like the DGCA EXAM NAV QUESTIONS esp in radio aids and cp-pnr???? Or are they a little bit simpler compared to dgca? ARe we allowed to carry CX2 in the assessment?

Jayant:rolleyes:

[avalanche007]

hi
well u can carry all the calculators u want to
however at my times numericals were damn simple and were all of scales

however u can carry anything u like too

[jayantjaiswal04]

[bombayhues]

Can somebody who gave the exam today tell us what type of questions were there on the test

[spreading_wings]

Anyone has a clue about the next round?

[FlyingManutd]

Have been waiting to get a call since end of april:*....in the mean time my ME IR got lapsed :ugh: are they calling people with lapsed IR om ME?

[dragstar]

All those who cleared the written and psychometric round have been called for an interview on the 6th of July. [heard this from my friend who got through]

I have my doubts of Indigo holding another written exam, if they were planning they would have already sent out invitation letters to pay the 375$.

[spreading_wings]

You just need Multi IR endorsed on your licence. They are not asking for current IR.

[FlyingManutd]

@spreading_wings

Thanks for replying and they have updated their requirements many times.Latest is as of 28 may>>

*The entry requirements have been revised on 28 May 2010. Please read the below information and the FAQs carefully.

[spreading_wings]

[avitrz]

hey guys,

Just felt like sharing something,ive read in alot of posts that the whole exam is fixed n only kids with jacks get through...take my word for it,It is so not true!i gave the written exam on the june 3rd n got through the whole assessment and also got a letter of intent from Indigo,Indigo is a fast growing company and surely the company wouldnt do nething that would rot the company's name,i have no "juggads" "pulls" or "jacks",just study hard,keep ur self prepared n good luck :)

[cyrilroy21]

@avritz

Would you be kind enough to describe the whole process in detail from start to finish ?
This will be helpful for those looking for the info :ok:

[nishantgupta2009]

anything about Indigo hiring currently
are they planning any more assessment
