[cyrilroy21]

While applying please double check the email ID you fill in for any errors

Most application form usually ask for the email ID twice so that they catch any errors while filling the form

After applying you should get a reference number which you have to note down and keep with you

[Phoenix_89]

need a bit of help.

I have filled the application and got a reference number..however i have forgotten to put my IR details...is there any way i can rectify this.. or should i speak with the HR at Jet Airways itself...:ugh:

[capt.ace]

what is the procedure for fees deposit

[spoolkick]

whats up with Rs. 2500/- DD ??
how to pay?

[cyrilroy21]

@Phoenix_89

Are you sure you forgot to input the IR details ?

If you notice there is a little red star on the IR column . Thats means if you dont input anything the application wont let you proceed forward

I had a friend who tried to skip the IR part and the application would not let him proceed forward

@capt.ace

How to pay for the exam the details should be sent via email when they send roll number etc . You most likely will have to take a DD in their name and submit it on the day of the exam

[Phoenix_89]

cyril im sure i left it blank bro..but if sucessfully gave me a reference number..or i must have entered the CPL number itself..phew what a mess..theres a star against the Number, Date of Issue etc..

i think ill shoot a mail to the HR so see what can be done.

[spoolkick]

And they have started asking for fee. Previously there were no fee to appear for written examination! :ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh: Can't help it though.

[pilot.india]

Looks like people whose IR lapsed before June 2012 cant apply...

HOW DID SUCH PEOPLE (WHOSE IR LAPSED BEFORE 06/12) SUBMITTED THEIR APPLICATION WHEN YOU CANNOT INPUT A DATE BEFORE JUNE 2012.

ANYTHING ON IT GUYS.

[cyrilroy21]

@pilot.india

As of now this seems to some sort of systems glitch . It will only be fixed by HR Dept and unfortunately they are closed for the weekend and can only come back by Monday

I believe word has gotten through to the HR Dept that issue exists . Hopefully they will fix it soon...

Perhaps you should send an email to [email protected] and highlight the issue

[pilot.india]

Then i guess there is some technical glitch in the system cause you cannot input a date before june 2012.

How do we deal with that. what date should you put if its lapsed before June 2012.

And even if we put date like After june 2012 ..its still lapsed isnt it.
Dosent make sense then..

Plus the add mentions the following thing :



Candidate Profile

Age : Above 18 and below 35 years
Height : 162.5 cms (Minimum)
Weight : In proportion to height
Educational Qualification : Valid and current Indian DGCA CPL, FRTO, IR/LR, RTR (A) and Class I medical
Interactive skills : Excellent communication and good interpersonal skills
Language skills : Fluency in English and Hindi.

Lets hope this is a technical glitch and it solved quickly.

Good luck

[cyrilroy21]

If you read the older the thread for Trainee FO you would find that they too faced the same situation

Eventually the HR emailed back saying that you dont need a current / valid IR

[rainbow_world]

How long does it take to receive an email from the HR department if they have received the application or not?

[av8r76]

What's with the need for fluency in Hindi? Don't want to start a North/South debate but I find this requirement a tad discriminatory. Don't see a reason for this since all business in Jet is conducted in English and as per recent events, Arabic:E

Good luck to all.

[DJ Flyboy]

Can somebody please give jet hr no..

[SIERRA29]

Hopefully Jet Airways HR do correct this Error regarding the expiry date of the IR , As mentioned earlier one cannot select a date prior to June 2012( my Ir expired in July 2010) and also the application is not accepted if you leave that box blank ( i tried :ugh:)

Now if they don't fix it is when the problem arises.. and here is my QUESTION :
Is it ok to just select the first avail date and just submit the application or will we be in trouble after that ??:confused:

[cyrilroy21]

For those of you facing the IR issue please wait

Senior Manager in HR has been notified and they have agreed to fix it . So please wait till Monday or tuesday

Also when you fill in your email ID please double check it before you hit the submit button
Most application forms ask for the email ID twice in order to catch any errors while typing
Unfortunately the Jet Airways application form only asks for the email ID once

So please double check it before hitting the submit button

[3greens 1inthemirror]

on one hand they mention on the front that Valid and current Indian DGCA CPL, FRTO, IR/LR, RTR (A) and Class I medical

on the other ..they are accepting all applications that have IR expired on or even after 22 June 2012. This means someone who has done their on June 2011 can legally apply.. (ie 2 years since they gave the IR check) .. how is this IR being current?

If they strictly want IR current, they should restrict this to the Date of Issue column.. allowing no entries before June 2012. that would make IR current!

But I truly hope this doesn't happen.. as most of the candidates don't have IR current. I urge everyone to write to HR requesting them to remove this clause. The more the voices heard, the better!

It could be a time taking task getting IR current and by the time it gets endorsed the application window may be closed + it could be an expensive affair for those who have multi IR.

The hr email id is -
[email protected]
[email protected]

[cyrilroy21]

For those of you with RTR P and RTR C licenses dont hesitate to apply

Jet Airways HR will accept it like they did last time in 2011 :ok:

[gambol]

How long will jet Airways take to recruit all the selected candidates out of this recruitment ? 2 years ?? 3 years ?? Well, the question just comes out of curiosity as all the candidates who were selected after the 2011 Jet Airways trainee exam have not been recruited yet or being recruited. whoahh 2 and a half years for the recruitment. Selected candidates patiently waited and did not leave for the type rating in hope for the recruitment.
On the other hand type rated candidates after their rounds of exams, checks and interview were recruited and released in a rush.They were not asked to wait and did not wait long as compared to selected 2011 trainee pilots.

I really want an answer from Jet Airways regarding this matter.

All this made me to go for the type rating, it made me to play the gamble, it urged me to take the chance ,which in most cases had worked for the type rated lots. I was about to leave for the Type rating and this opening came.

Honestly, My heart and mind is not in the current 2013 opening as previous 2011 batch are still being interviewed , so no one can really predict when 2013 batch will be hired, but again no other option, this is a great opportunity for the CPL holders. I just hate the wait time, but its better to wait after the selection than to never get hired.

I do not intent to demoralise anyone but I just wrote what the reality is. Sad, but this is what Aviation industry is all about.

All said and done. I wish all the very best to everyone for the Jet Airways Exam, lets hope jet airways doesn't take too long for this recruitment.

[cyrilroy21]

Those of you who have applied for the DGCA CPL and waiting for its approval can apply for this recruitment as well

On the day of the exam you can show the DGCA Cover letter as proof of having applied for the CPL

You might have to enter some bogus information for the CPL number( 00000) or your DGCA File Number in order to get through
Edit : Mention in the Hobbies section that your CPL is under process...
I would suggest you put the date you applied for CPL as the date of issue and 5 years from that as the date of expiry

For the IR enter the date of the IR check for IR issue and one year from that as date for expiry
If you have done IR check on two different airplanes , enter one you last flew

[genie081]

Hi,

Does anyone know if Jet would allow a candidate whose RTR(P) has expired?

Also, I am unable to enter my IR expiry which was back in 2010. Can I add any random date of 2012 as expiry?

Thanks!

[aviator3233]

Can anyone please tell me wat to study for the exam ??
thanks

[cyrilroy21]

Jet airways has finally removed the date of expiry for all licenses . So I dont think anyone should have an issue applying for the position any more :ok:

@aviator3233

Read this thread

http://www.pprune.org/south-asia-far-east-wannabes/517581-jet-airways-cpl-exam-2013-study-material.html

[capt.ace]

those who have applied at first time without any problem with current ir.do they need to apply again.

[cyrilroy21]

Those who applied and successfully received a Reference Number need not apply again
Just focus on your studies for now :ok:

[pheonix11]

I accidently typed DGCA as the issuing authority for RTR licence. Could that create a problem? Should/Could I resubmit the form?
Also, how long does it take for them to send us e-mail confirmations?

[AviatorHere]

This is going to be my first exam for any airline, and feel a little lost and clueless.

Those who are better informed than me, what study material would you suggest? (Other than CPL notes, GSPs, Jepp charts). Should I brush up on most of CPL syllabus? Anything additional? What should I focus on?

I am going to Delhi for next 2 days and I want to take advantage by buying books that you guys would suggest.

Any input will be greatly appreciated.

[flyygirl]

Thanks cyril you are of much help:D:D:D

[cyrilroy21]

@pheonix11

Minor errors do not make much of a difference . As long you have a reference number you are good to go
By applying again they are only going to send out two roll numbers to the same person

Confirmation emails are not being sent as of now . When the time comes you will be sent an email with roll number , date of exam and venue

@AviatorHere

I have given a link in a few posts above . Just read that thread . Airline recruitment methods vary from airline to airline . Jet Airways has one of the longest recruitment methods ( 5 stages ) but thats also because they call everyone who apply

For more info read the 2011 recruitment here
http://www.pprune.org/south-asia-far-east-wannabes/438824-jet-airways-trainee-first-officer.html


@flygirl

You are welcome :)

[AviatorHere]

Thank you Cyril, I was accessing the forum from my phone, I missed your post at the time of asking.

All the best to my fellow low timer pilots.

[Capt.Abhishek.S]

I know they ask only basic stuff,but still,which books are recommended ?

Thanks :cool:

[mothwing]

scroll up and read cyril's post

[cyrilroy21]

@Capt.Abhishek.S

Hydraulics and Air Conditioning would fall under airframes and systems . There is also a Keith Williams Aircraft General Knowledge book that has a question bank for airframes and systems
Its available at the English Book store in delhi or sterling book house in Mumbai

@everyone else

[cyrilroy21]

@pkboeing

How reliable is your source ?

I heard a similar rumour because they were unable to finalise a place in Delhi on the 21st July because of the huge number of candidates in delhi

[pkboeing]

Words from HR dept is that exams are going to b conducted on 31st july..but the problem is that 31st is wednesday and one cannot get classrooms for so many candidates in a school..so it has to b conducted on a sunday..but this is sure that the exam is going to b conducted in the month of july...

[Three.Green]

I just got my call letter now. The date and venue mentioned above for Delhi is correct :ok:

@cyrilroy does the 2500/- cheque need to be a DD or can it be a personal cheque?

EDIT: never mind... I re-read .. its DD

[cyrilroy21]

@Three.Green

On the Jet Website its given DD . But on the email they sent it says Cheque...

[Three.Green]

yeah.. that's why I was confused; I think. Its probably best to take both yeah? :ugh:

[happilyflyinghigh]

" Cheque Rs. 2,500/- (Rupees Two Thousand Five Hundred Only) drawn in favour of Jet Airways (I) Limited towards examination fee. Kindly note that this amount is non-refundable. You are also required to carry 2 photocopies of the cheque alongwith the original cheque. "

the admit letter says its to be done through cheque. I don't think we need to make a DD. we'll be carrying the admit letter anyways in case there is any issue regarding this.

[jehan]

Has anybody from Mumbai got a call letter for the exam???

Please Update
Thanks.

[ankit9690]

Hi everyone, Does anyone have an idea on what the Jet exam emphasizes upon except the logical reasoning part based on the past exams? Also, do they include PFD, EFIS, INS/IRS, AWR, FMS in their exams? This would be my first attempt for any airline exam, requesting guidance.

[virus90]

@ankit 9690 : Dont worry too much about the exam, the more you think about it the more tensed and anxious u will get.. Just study all your CPL notes and also book number 13 ( principles of flight) from oxford.. and no , they do not ask such questions.. atleast we were not asked...
Give your best baakee leave it god.. whatever has to happen will happen

Is there anyone here whose CPL is under process and has/has not received the email from Jet ?

Please let me know the date you applied for the exam and venue...

[Three.Green]

Are we allowed to takes E6Bs and CX2 to the exam hall? :8

It doesn't mention those items on the list.

[3greens 1inthemirror]

it says 'Computer' is not allowed, I'm guessing it refers to E6B and CX2.

What about Calculators? They must be allowed?

[mothwing]

I asked some of the guys who wrote previously and they said calculators were not allowed.

[flybird003]

I have applied for the Jet and successfully got my Ref no. too..but dint get the call letter from them yet! are they still in process of sending out the letter??

[cyrilroy21]

@flybird003

[Johny Boy]

@CyrilRoy

What is confusion regarding exam fee's ?

[Tango Alpha November]

Hey is anybody from Mumbai still waiting for their call letter from Jet?
@ cyril, my IR is still under process and I haven't received a call back. Could that be a possible hold up?

[The Assassin]

Demand draft or a Cheque towards the examination fee ???

and if a demand draft is to be made , then the demand draft drawn to be payable at which city??

[Vivek jain]

ThankQ:ok:

[rahul_r_liferocks]

Still not clear, DD or Cheque ..PLease advice ASAP. and really appreciate for the previour years paper

[cyrilroy21]

Stick with the Cheque because thats what is mentioned in the email .
Get two photocopies of the filled in Cheque as well

Use 21 / 07 / 2013 ( the day of the exam for the date on the cheque )

Bring your Cheque book as well ( just in case your cheque gets damaged or you make a mistake while filling it and they dont accept it for some reason )

The reason people ask for DD is
1. It was mentioned in the original ad on the website
2. With a DD you dont have to maintain a min balance of 2500 rupees in your bank account until the day they cash the cheque

Since the email says Cheque , stick to Cheque....

@Tango Alpha November

send an email to [email protected] . Show a scanned copy of the DGCA receipt and mention the reference number you got when you applied

[rahul_r_liferocks]

Thanks cyril bro. hope i m able to crack this paper in 1st attempt . if any tips ,, keep it flowing .:ok:

[Chalksoff]

Would anyone have any idea how Jet Airways set their cut off? Does each paper from the 5 have a 70% cut off? Or do they take an aggregate score over 5 papers and then select a cut off?

Group Discussion
There were 5 rounds in this one.We were divided into teams(4 guys each team) and then each round 2 of these teams would meet i.e., 8 guys sitting together and doing the discussion. The topics were all based on Aviation except one round (A detailed time table is given). They had 1 debate topic for sure everyday. I had it on Fly by wire. Then they had one non aviation round based on Survival in case of Air crash in Mountains/Desert/island, and you were given a list of items and you had to decide and conclude that what priority will you give to each item.Then one round was on Air crash. Where you were given and Air crash report and you had to discuss and decide what caused the Air Crash.

Thanku !!.....

[Three.Green]

Is the result gonna be out this week? anyone got any reply from Jet yet?

[cyrilroy21]

Well according to Ghost Aviatorz the result will only be published in September

[sid89]

in 2011 attempt result were out by 17 march and paper was held on 27 feb so this makes it 20 days so wait up till 11 aug... or else just wait longer :ooh:

[cyrilroy21]

Some interesting Statistics collected from various sources for the Jet exam

These are the roll numbers issued for the various centres in India for the Jet Airways exam
Now assuming the roll numbers issued represent the number of candidates who appeared for this exam

Mumbai - 5001 to 5960 = 960 Candidates

Delhi - 7001 - 8600* = 1600 Candidates

Chennai - 9001 - 9600* = 600 Candidates

*Not an exact number but the first two digits are correct

Total number of roll numbers issued

960+1600+600 = 3160

Out of these 3160 Candidates a few applied twice so they got two different roll numbers
A few Candidates who had their CPL under process were also allowed to write the exam
A few candidates did not appear at all

P.S : I heard for Mumbai there was a second location as well with another set of roll numbers outside the range i have given above . If anyone knows anything please post it here

[aviation_insider]

@cyrilroy_21
Are u sure that jet allowed cpl under issue candidates to sit in exam ? Can anyone else confirm the same.
Thanx

[cyrilroy21]

@aviation insider

Yes I know a couple of guys who got the roll numbers from Jet to appear for the exam
At first they were reluctant to admit them but finally they decided to allow them and they sat for the exam

[aviation_insider]

Ok.
Just got confirmed. Jet let only those people sit in the exams whose papers had been processed by dgca for cpl but still hadn't actually received the cpl physically. So technically, they are cpl licence number holder, and that's being really gracious on the part of jet.

[cyrilroy21]

@aviation insider

Well they guys I know who sat for the Jet exam never actually got the CPL number issued

Those who had a CPL number issued wouldnt have faced any problem in the first place in receiving roll numbers

Those who applied initially without a CPL number did not get the roll numbers and HR personally replied saying they entered improper CPL number

However one week before the exam these guys ( without a CPL number ) were issued Roll numbers for the exam

[attitudeFlying]

Yes, people who had a receipt of documents submitted to DGCA were allowed to sit for the exam.

[udaviators]

Any update regarding results, as it's been way too long now..:uhoh:

[bayblade]

@udaviators,
there's a word floating around that the results would be out in or after September.

[sid89]

a pilot who is working with jet airways has posted in facebook ghost aviatorz that the result will be out in first week of sep...... now all other rumour are based on this post:ugh: :ugh: :ugh:

[Vivek jain]

First week of sept is what I also came across..
Lets hope it's announced at the earliest..:ok:

[udaviators]

So the first week of September is also gone... and still no news.. Don't know what's wrong with Jet:ugh::ugh:

[virus90]

Hey...
I am trying to paint a clear picture here, Jet has heavy requirements for pilots.. So what they are upto is that they are recalling candidates from the type rated batch who were unable to clear their Sim checks and GD...
After they are done with that the candidates who just finished their PI will be called for the sim checks ( non type rated one)....
That is the picture put forth by jet..
The results , you just have to wait and watch because many people come out with many rumors, dont believe them or u will unnecessarily get dissapointed..
Things are looking very very bright as the government gave jet permission to have a code share agreement with 5 other airlines..
Just keep your calm, be positive and wait... dont loose hope...
Cheers!!

[Maverick 03]

Another confirmed deadline-
Jet result not to be out till 20th Sep

[udaviators]

I know all the recruitments going on in Jet airways but i just don't see any point in delaying the non type rated results as it won't make any difference to the ongoing stages.. They could delay GD's instead.. that is still worth waiting as people would know that they are still in the game.. :rolleyes:

[virus90]

That is the way you and i think, but the management does not listen or take into consideration our views.. SAD!! but thats the fact..
Jet is a big company , they themselves do not know what they are upto.. everyones confused...
results must be declared.. to be honest i do not see it coming in september also..
But lets be positive..
cheers

[aviator3233]

R u sure abt the result not coming in Sept ??:ugh:

[virus90]

you cannot be sure about anything in aviation... one day they say something negative and the very next moment itss something positive..so yeah
but from my sources itss not coming in september..
i hope my sources are wrong..
cheers buddy

[cyrilroy21]

Jet Airways has apparently asked a candidate to resubmit his Cheque along with penalty for bounced cheque in an email sent today

He has to resubmit it by 30th of September failing which the results wont be released

That should give you an idea when to expect the results....

[virus90]

@ cyril : So that does paint the outlines of the picture!! Till the time jet doesnt get the money encashed of all the demand drafts they will not disclose the results..
The process has started but when will it end?? thats the question...
The results must come in by the beginning of October...
I just hope that jet does not take 2-3 years to complete this recruitment as they did with the 2011 non type rated batch..
Any idea when they( 2011 non type rated batch) will be called for their Sim checks??
Cheers

[cyrilroy21]

@virus90

Jet Airways has given a second chance to who failed the GD / PI of the 737 type rated exam this september
Only once they are done with the Sim checks will the Jan 2011 recruitment IPT take place ( I am guessing )

[Johny Boy]

Any idea when they( 2011 non type rated batch) will be called for their Sim checks??


Some time after 20 Nov 2013.

[virus90]

@johnnyboy : How are you so sure about it?? i mean you are giving some timeframe !!!! have you heard something or observed a trend??
I on the other hand was informed by some people from Jet that the IPT are going to be conducted in the month of october....
And if that is the case then what is going to happen about the 2013 batch?? because if they take so long for recruiting us then the 2013 batch will have to wait longer..

[Johny Boy]

I was told by my brother who was told by his examiner at jet.
20 Nov was date that was mentioned , nothing confirmed by Jet but examiner was asked to finish off checks for current roster'd pilots and have been assigned new roster for sim's starting 20 Nov.
Take it as Rumour.

[udaviators]

What's happening out there with the results, any idea anybody??
Getting no information whatsoever as now even the rumors have stopped... :{:{

[baliyan]

I had talked to jet HR official & according to her, the result would be announced before 15th Oct'13.

[piston2jet]

Jet results to be declared next week.
Source - A Senior Examiner at Jet Airways.
Hope it does not get delayed any further than this.

[mr.aspect]

lets hope for all our sakes Johny Boy and piston2jet are right!!

[cyrilroy21]

Jet has started sending out the email of the result

Those who havent received it yet please wait . They should send it soon enough

[cyrilroy21]

A message from the UPWA

A sincere request to those candidates who passed the 9w TFO written exam especially IndiGo LOI holders

If you do not wish to pursue it any further please reply back to the email that Jet HR sent you saying you no longer wish to be considered for the opportunity

This might help a few candidates that did not make it for the written to get called for GD and subsequent rounds

Jobs are scarce

So please do the needful at the earliest . Dont deny a fellow pilot an opportunity that can change their lives forever.

Regards

Team UPWA

[stryker_jsph]

Now that we're done with written, any pointers on GD, guys?

[Three.Green]

any guess on how many people have made it to GD?

[cyrilroy21]

According to some sources somewhere between 300 - 400 out of the 2700 candidates that appeared for the exam has made it to the GD round...

[Johny Boy]

300 ~ 400 people ? I think Delhi centre itself had around 1200 people for test so just 2700 pilots gave exam for Jet ...hmmm where are rest of pilots.:hmm::hmm:
Wow that way too much considering how 2011 Feb pilots are still hanging without anything concrete since last 2.5 years. God bless this young pilots who will put on indefinite wait. :rolleyes:
By the way not a single of my friends cleared it from Delhi centre. :sad::sad:

[juliet.alpha.yankee]

From various sources that I am aware of, there were a total of approx 5000 aspirants for this exam. And there were certainly more than 1200 from Delhi Center...

Is there any other reliable source of information??

[cyrilroy21]

@juliet alpha yankee

http://www.pprune.org/south-asia-far-east-wannabes/517529-jet-airways-hiring-trainee-first-officer-2013-a-4.html#post7971807

[cyrilroy21]

Apparently Jet Airways has sent an email asking the candidates who passed to inform them if they are TYPE RATED on any particular aircraft...

[Three.Green]

Do you think some people might get eliminated for not having a TR?

[cyrilroy21]

Nobody is going to be eliminated for not having a TR . If that was the case then there was no need to call so many pilots all over India to conduct an exam

But the since Jet airways is short on pilot I have a feeling that the type rated guys will be fast tracked and inducted first ( assuming you have type rating on a fleet that jet operates )

[wxy]

Is there any chance that they might wanna send pilots to Etihad ...??

[Johny Boy]

Is there any chance that they might wanna send pilots to Etihad ...??
Pilots from Etihad might come here and fly big birds leaving Indians scrambling for 737/ATR's.You see codeshare with new sub-owner and stake sale will change many things.:*:*
By the way TATA's are trying to get some stake at AI.That might speed up Jet's hiring & firing thing's for future.
They might hire and fire in batches.:}:}:}

[Johny Boy]

These are the roll numbers issued for the various centres in India for the Jet Airways exam
Now assuming the roll numbers issued represent the number of candidates who appeared for this exam

Mumbai - 5001 to 5960 = 960 Candidates

Delhi - 7001 - 8600* = 1600 Candidates

Chennai - 9001 - 9600* = 600 Candidates

*Not an exact number but the first two digits are correct

Total number of roll numbers issued

960+1600+600 = 3160

Out of these 3160 Candidates a few applied twice so they got two different roll numbers

So all those talks of 5000+ unemployed pilots were not true then.:ok:
If seriously India had that much of unemployed pilots then almost 2000 of them got job's in 2-3 years ? :eek:
Can't be true if it's true and can't be false if it's really true.
God where is my job on big jet ? :*

PS : Anybody have any idea about how many KFA cadet's/FO's are still without jobs ?

[ikarus-]

What you think when they will start calling for GD and how much time they gave between GD and PI last time.

[bayblade]

Its not an unknown that many people are doing well in other fields after losing hopes in aviation. You may have some of your friends who are no longer interested in this line anymore.

Some, maybe working as flight instructors in other countries. I know a couple of of chaps from my flight school who are now working in US as instructors and did not come for the exam.

I wouldn't be surprised if these people collectively formed a figure of 500 or so, makes me wonder where are the remaining 1500 people?
alien abductions? :E

[bayblade]

@ikarus
The interval between the gd and pi was 5 months for the last batch (feb 2011) and for the group before that (aug 2010 batch) it was within a weeks time.

Edit: 5 months was the gap between the written and GD, it was almost a year's wait for PI.

[ikarus-]

@bayblade
Hard to predict with that data what gonna happen this time.

I also had friends who were enjoying life abroad and when I told one of them about (jet)exam she said "not gonna fly back just for an exam":ugh:

[Johny Boy]

I know a couple of of chaps from my flight school who are now working in US as instructors
How is it possible ?
Have USA immigration/working laws changed that i am not aware or anything that i might be missing ?

[bayblade]

they are compensated in flight hrs not money.

[Johny Boy]

Legally you can not work without working visa so they are illegally accumulating flight hours.:E
Indian flying school's don't have jobs for instructors or what ? I meet so many of my friends who always had " uncles and relatives to land them job " saying that they have become instructors when they all know how good they were in their training , yet never seen anyone going for recency or checkrides seeing them at flying school.
ROFLMAO :p:p

[bayblade]

Legally you can not work without working visa so they are illegally accumulating flight hours.http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.pprune.org/get/images/smilies/evil.gif
Many flight schools in US follow this trend, its no news flash. :hmm:

[ikarus-]

Its not very hard to get F1 visa in US which allows you to work few hours per week.

[Johny Boy]

Its not very hard to get F1 visa in US which allows you to work few hours per week.
It is hard to get working visa when you are pilot.May be things have changed but certainly it's not that easy to get visa without sponsor's.

[RNP2]

@ ikarus

The aug 2010 batch had their interviews immdtly after they had their GD whereas the feb 2011 batch had their GDs in aug 2011 and were called for their Interviews in june 2013!!!:eek:

[Johny Boy]

2010 Aug recruitment had GD's from 24 aug onwards till sep 2010 then interview after a month followed by IPT. Total pilots selected were 118-120 divided into 6 batches with last one getting ATR type.

2011 Feb recruitment had GD in Aug 2011 followed by yearly wait for interviews and still to have IPT's. This 2011 session had pilots recalled from 2010 Aug recruitment who failed in GD's so it took time for Jet for everything.
Sad part was that Jet forget to recall those who couldn't clear Interview of 2010 and have to re-sit for 2011 exam. :ouch:

In between this two recruitment of CPL holders Jet took many rated 737/ATR pilot's with varying experience level with last one being sometime back in 2012 May , they are all online since 2012 Dec.They took 2 rated exams this year i believe but total number of those are disputed.

[ikarus-]

Agree, F1 visa is actually meant for students taking course from american universities.

[gambol]

I wonder how long Jet airways will take to complete the July 2013 TFO recruitment. 2015????
only time will tell.

[Mentat]

Any idea about the no of vacancies and the no of people who have cleared the written exam?

[9FLYJET9]

any news on 2013 GD dates?

[ikarus-]

They have started calling 2011 batch candidates.

[9FLYJET9]

What date? Any idea how many of them?
Any chances if they will merge them with 2013 GD candidates?

[ikarus-]

I dont think so as they might be calling them for interview directly because no fresher has got mail yet for GD.

[9FLYJET9]

ok. so are they calling 2011 candidates who failed GD or 2011 candidates who have failed the interview or both? who has got emails?

[ikarus-]

No sure my friend.

[cyrilroy21]

Jet has started calling those candidates from 2011 recruitment who could not clear the GD round to come again for GD

They also called the type rated candidates from the 2013 exam for GD as well

Non type rated candidates from the 2013 exam are still waiting for GD

[9FLYJET9]

thanks cyril..
any idea when is it exactly starting for 2011 non type rated and how many of them,, so that we can get a fair idea about the dates for 2013 non type rated candidates..

[flyB_777]

any idea about recent GD topics??

[cyrilroy21]

The GD dates for non type rated as well has been announced

Good luck everyone :ok:

[juliet.alpha.yankee]

Mine is on December 9th. Guys, please shed some light on the GD topics.

Also, the people who have their GD on Nov 30th and Dec 1st, please provide your valuable inputs...

[cyrilroy21]

Looks like Jet has sent emails to candidates who did NOT clear the GD to appear for the GD again in the months of April and May :D

Exact dates will be announced later

Good luck everyone :ok:

[wings of fire]

Buddy i haven't received any email from Jet Airways regarding Re-GD.

Can anyone tell how many candidates have received re-gd emails, or are there anyone remaining like me who hasn't received re-gd email from jet

[pilot.india]

Yups thats true, wonder how many pilots they gonna select. They seem to be in a hiring spree !!

Dear Candidate,

This is with reference to your application for the position of Trainee First Officer on B737 Fleet.

You had appeared for the Assessment Centre (Stage 2) in November- December 2013 at Mumbai and you did not qualify in the same.

We would like to inform you that you will be given another opportunity to re-appear for an Assessment Centre to be held tentatively in April - May 2014, details of which will be sent to you separately.


But yeah, i don't understand one thing. i really sad for those guys tom TFO:2011. I remember written test was in FEB 2011. none of them has joined yet. its March 2014. 3 years to complete a recruitment. even more confusing is they keep on conducting exams. TFO : 2013 happened in july. now they calling for RE GD. i am sure the total selected after medicals(2011) and interview(2013) will be around 100. and most of them will be needing a 737 rating.
when are they going to call them for joining. hope it happens soon at least in this year 2014.

[cyrilroy21]

@wings of fire

I am not sure on what basis they sent out the email for RE GD . All i know is they used the same email ID ( tfo recruitment ) . Have you checked the junk folder ?

@pilot.india

Jet needs a lot of pilots ( my estimate is 300+ )
Their biggest problem is training capacity . Where to train hundreds of pilots on the 737 . They also need a lot of training captains in place to train you once you come on board
Hence the reason why they are recruiting foreign 737 TRI / TRE and upgrading senior FO's to Captains

The first batch from 2011 about 20-25 pilots are joining on the 20th of March :D

[ikarus-]

300!! thats really a big no. ;how soon you think they will absorb 2013 batch guys.:E

[wings of fire]

Yes. I have checked my junk folder. No Email from Jet as of now.Can only wait patiently.

[cyrilroy21]

Are you type rated on the 737 or any other aircraft ?

I heard that type rated candidates have not yet been called for RE GD
Not sure if it's true

[Azadpanchi]

Any idea if jet will hire B 737 Type rated fellows in their next recruitment..??

[Three.Green]

anyone here re-taking the GD on the 4 may?
I am.

[aviator3233]

Hello.... can anyone plz tell me what to study for the jet CPL freshers exam ?
Thanku

[maverick24]

hey is there a fresher exam for jet airways fo post

[cyrilroy21]

Jet Airways has announced the 2013 TFO RE GD results

[avicon]

Cyril, where did you hear that 9W will be needing 300+ pilots? Over how many months/years?

Any idea when their next TR TFO will be held? I read pkboeing saying that he had had a word with HR from Jet and was told that Jet has scrapped conducting TR exams, but will allow TR candidates to sit TFO exams and if selected, would charge them Rs10 lack for "further training". How much truth do you think could be there in this? Only someone closely associated with Jet can clear things up for us I believe.

[virus90]

@avicon: Whatever pkboeing has said in the other thread is completely true, all those type rated people who get selected for jet airways will have to pay a certain amount to jet towards the training ( ground classes, sim sessions) that jet airways will provide...
Scrapped would be a wrong word , i would say that for now they have merged both the exams and made them into a common one.. but then type rated people are given preference..
Incoming aircrafts create vacancies and there is 1 737 inducted every month ( a person from the engineering department conveyed that) ...

[avicon]

@virus.

How can TR TFO and CPL TFO give the same exams? CPL TFO cannot give the 737 systems exam.

Or will they conduct seperate exams for either but with CPL syllabus included for the TR TFO's like Spicejet is doing?

[virus90]

Buddy.. you believe it or no they did it... we cannot question them or their ways..
maybe the wriitten is cpl level but when you go for the PI that is when they will get 737 specific...

[juliet.alpha.yankee]

Hi Guys,

I got to know that the first batch of pilots have got their type rating done from UK and have come back a few days back. However their SUPs could not be started as Jet did not give them joining. So, their airport entry passes could not be made as one needs to be an employee of an airline to have AEP.

So now, jet has decided to give them joining before start of SUPs and also pay them stipend of Rs 50,000. If that is the case then it is a good news. But I am not sure how far that is true.

[oxfordav]

its not true

[pkboeing]

sahi baat kya hai pls share if u want to.?

[virus90]

No contract of any sort has been offered to any of the 4 batches currently in training uptil now, the first batch is going to Southampton again this month for 15 days or so to complete a few more hours...
The talk about being on contract for AEP is true but jet has not offered any contract to anyone yet...

[juliet.alpha.yankee]

Is there anyone who is done with his/her tr? What is going on these days for you ppl in Jet? I heard that Jet was to reach over a conclusion on 11 aug for putting ppl on contract for aep. I am not sure whether they have a solution yet.

Atleast they should pay 50000 to till the base check is done. They used to do it until now.

Also, how are TFOs managing the finances after paying 20 lacs and not getting a penny for 3-4 months (or may be more)?

The airline should be thoughtful for them. No body can sit idle with a burden of 20 lacs and not earning a penny.

[avicon]

Now what the hell is an AEP. I feel like a complete newbie when I hear these abbreviations thrown around.

[mach5]

AEP is Airport Entry Pass

[Skyblade]

can anybody tell whether the next batch of 8 have been called by jet?

[virus90]

The next batch of 8 will b called very very soon by jet airways, some of them received an email on Wednesday and were told to revert back by Monday (25th august 2014) failing which they will not b considered for the upcoming batch..
So yeah it'll be soon...
Rumors suggest september end as the beginning date for the training, and November end as the beginning date for the last 8.. This will officially complete all the 48 candidates..
Now the ? Remains , at what point will jet start contacting other candidates of the 2011 batch....

[virus90]

The next group of 8 got their emails today from Jet Airways, they have been called on the 19th of September with the money and licenses .. Ground classes begin on the 22nd of September..
Next batch of 8 will be called in November..
Cheers!!!

[ikarus-]

this really is a good news :) any how many guys are left from 2011

[nihaal71]

thanks for the information.
now lets see after the dgca review does jet increase the frequency of training or increases the size of the batches.
lets hope for the best now :ok:

[virus90]

@ Ikarus : jet has so far only called 40 candidates from the 2011 batch, according to my estimates there are another 60-70 still left...

@nihaal71: jet is trying very hard to get slots for training, but the slots are not available..

[nihaal71]

i dont know if you would know this
but thought id ask.
why would jet only use one trto in southampton
why not go the 09-10 batch way and send to cae centers?

[Skyblade]

Some update from the guys who have been selected in 2011/2013 batch would be highly appreciated.

[aviator3233]

Does anyone have any idea abt the result for the Sept' 14 Jet exam ?

[Three.Green]

@aviator3233 last year they took 3 months to declare the results. I suspect it should be the same time frame this time as well.

[mike_bravo]

How many pilots do they take at the end of the whole process ? Any approx idea ?

[virus90]

It all depends on their requirement buddy...

[aviator3233]

Any updates on the result of FO 2014 exam anyone ? Pls share

[cyrilroy21]

Jet Airways has sent emails to candidates of TFO 2013 asking about current license details . I believe they want an answer by today...

[avicon]

Whatever happened to the 2014 CPL-TFO? Are they not going to release the results?

Why do they have to hold on to the results till they are in need of a pilots. By releasing it early, thousands of unfortunate ones who haven't been selected can consider other options. Some might even be interested in exploring other avenues, outside of aviation. I think it is very unethical for Jet to accept money from us for an exam and then withhold result simply because the time doesn't suit them.

Has there ever been any group agitation over this issue that anyone is aware of.

[cyrilroy21]

Apparently Jet Airways has called the first batch of TFO 2013 to report to Jet Airways on November 30.

[razzy]

Any idea how many people comprise this batch?

[bdmer]

any good news for sept2014 batch????

[hitansh]

How is their cadet programme ?
