Sorry to bother your ARGREECE, could you explain a little bit more what you said in your previous post?
I don't really get 
the issue of SIC or PIC, or accumulating the hours for a A320 rating.
If you want, I can send you the pdf file that simcorp sent me, with the info on their A320 Internship program, the one from which I quoted the prices I mentioned above.
Regards.
$$ 13950(for SIC) and 15950 $ for PIC when you accumulate the hours for a320 rating

Simcorp a320
Actually its what they sent to me too, on pdf, probably the more expensive route would allow you, when you reach 1500 hours to move to the left(cptn) with no more training compared to the other(SIC) training. this is how i get it.all the best

Is anybody flying as a SO or FO after HGC program?
Hi, guys.
I just joined PPRuNe and very interested in HGC&Simcorp program which lead you airline company in India. Do you guys know which one is the airline company in India?
And also what I like to know is how much do you need until you received salary? How long does it take after you receive type rating?

Hi naoya.
Regarding which is the Indian company, I don't really know, but for sure it is not Indigo, because I contacted them directly and they responded (very kind from them) that they don't have any relation with SimCorp. Consequently the other possible company has to be Kingfisher/Deccan (apparently Kingfisher has recently bought Deccan), but I haven't been able to get to them to ask if they do have an agreement with Simcorp.
Regarding salaries etc. this is a quotation of SimCorp's A320 info that I got direct from them:
Be aware that this is Simcorp's publicity, not actual contrasted fact, so it is necessary to take it with a lot of caution.
The time to get the TR in your licence is apparently between 60 to 90 days after successfully finishing it, but this is a FAA issue, not related to the wait period to begin working in India. In other threads this issue has been already mentioned, and apparently paperwork can take from 3 to 6 months.
A different issue is the one of the waiting list to get to fly in the Indian companies, which apparently is quite long.
I hope this was of help to you, and if anyone has more recent and accurate info, it would be greatly appreciated if they share it with all of us.
Regards

Regarding salaries etc. this is a quotation of SimCorp's A320 info that I got direct from them:
When registered with HGC and paid the Internship Fee $12,750 (which also provides you with 12 months membership of career support), you will be issued a contract directly with the carrier and start as a Second Officer.
The carrier will pay you $1000 per month as a Second Officer, but hold that amount for your accommodation as you build your 300 hrs on Type (average flight time per month is 80-90Hrs) 80hrs x 4 months = 320Hrs
When you have your 300 hours on Type you will be flying the line and earning a salary (gross $3000) and accommodation. Build to 500 hours and you qualify as a First Officer.
In less than four months you will have a job earning a salary with the airline, and three months later you will have more than your five hundred hours and have earned a gross salary of $9000 and be in a position to go anywhere you want with an A320 Type rating and more than 500hrs experience as a first officer.

Fly with examiner....
Hi, M.A
Thank you very much for valuable comment. So nobody knows when can you go India after you complete A320 type rated. But at least 3~4 month...
I do not know how many examiner out there(india) but it is not realty to fly with examiner every time.... If all captains over there are examiner, yes make sence... if cadets are less than captains though...
I was wondering how many cadets are stand by out of India...
And how many actual cadets are in India with program....
But anyway, I have no choise. Only this program is the way to my dream...
Is anybody considering to join this program soon?
henriksch, fliegenwagenfahrer and thierryisback
Please let us know any update!

Anytime for A320TR
Hi, Riso
Yes, you can join the cadet program but after you build TT1,000 hrs or 500 hrs Multi Engine time. So, if I were you, I would get CFI, CFII and MEI then built flight time as a CFI for 1~3 year up to 1,000 hrs. After that, I will apply this program.
A320 Core Curriculum - Second In Command (SIC) - Cost: 13,950 (20 days)
Hotels vary in rates from $59 to $150 per night. + Car rent
Stand by 3 or more month (At your home town)
SO / CADET PROGRAM Cost $12,750
You would need to support yourself for the three months in India whilst building your hours to the required 300, but accommodation is included.
Upon completion of 300Hrs and when released to the line by your TRE, you are eligible as a First Officer.
This is what I got info from www.hgcfly.com and www.SimCorpFlightTraining.Com and people from this forum.
I may join this program next year. But for you, you may find better offer while building your flight time...

That is incorrect. Simcorp or HCG can't do anything with low hour pilots (200tt) despite what they claim. The second officer internship in India is only for pilots with 1000 hours excess because this is a new law now in India.
They will string you along claiming they have contracts here and there, the truth is no one has yet gone and I was in the first class at Simcorp in January this year.

extra charge besides the TR
Qualification for SO / CADET PROGRAM
1. FAA or ICAO CPL with Class1 Medical
2. 1000 Total Time OR 500 Multiengine Land
3. Cadet Fee (Base Training)
4. Approved Conversion Course
A320 Core Curriculum - Second In Command (SIC) - Cost: $13,950
Hotels vary in rates from $59 to $150 per night. x20 days
Rent a car, food.
Stand by your home(town) at least 3 month
SO / CADET PROGRAM Cost $12,750

You would need to support yourself for the three months in India whilst building your hours to the required 300, but accommodation is included.
So, everybody, to apply this program, you need to have at least $13,950+$12,750+$59~150x20days+Rent a car+food=minimum $30,000.
Is this expensive or reasonable to obtain jet job?

Well....having got 1000 hours TT this course wouldn`t be my selection for sure ...By the way Cathay Pacific takes SO with the same amount of flight time and you don`t have to pay for it ... it would make more sense for me if you only had to have the FAA CPL and the A320 TR...

Line Training
I just wanted to give some update on the line training with Simcorp.
I was considering taking an A320 type with them, and then potentially go for the line training. Was told to contact HGC since they operate as an independent contractor who provides the line training with an Indian Carrier.
This is the response I received back from HGC:
So be careful in choice of type rating provider if you're main incentive is to go for line training after the type...I always do a due diligence and I verify claims against facts to see the true picture. I have found that a few providers in the U.S use the line training as an incentive to get your business. Be cautious.
I am looking into some other organizations on an FAA type with potential line training. Not too excited about paying for line training, but will use it as a contingency if all else fails. If there is anyone who has done a FAA A320 type with/without line training successfully, please PM
me. Would like to hear your experience . Would also like to hear from guys who have done a JAR rating and your experience afterwards

This is the response I received back from HGC:
Thank you for your email. Due to the numerous inquiries for A320 placements, we are not accepting any more SO or FO applicants at this time. Should you hold an A320 TR and have time on type, we are still looking for Captains, Instructors & eventually Examiners, in which case, please contact [email protected] directly with a full resume,
