Hello Guys,

I request all those who have received LOIs this month to update the list on Facebook group 'IFLY CAE'. You will find the LOI wise list in the 'Files' section on the top of the FB page. If you havnt joined the group already, please do join.

Although this is not necessary, it is a good group that was created to keep everyone abreast of the movements at IFLY Jr. FO induction program.
Those who do not wish to join the group may ask a friend to add their name to the list.

The guys have been doing it for the last year and a half and it has helped everyone know what the waiting time to expect is etc. This helps in planning ahead.

Again, not a mandate, but a good group to be a part of.

The TR fee is USD 34,500. A batch, consisting of everyone from 23 July and some from 2 August, has been asked to proceed for their TR on 15 September. From what I know, 8 are being sent to CAE Bengaluru and 6 to CAE Dubai, though I'm not sure of the numbers.

Hi VT-SDS,

Yes, you will be able to get a loan from banks for your type rating. Your LOI would only be a supporting document. Along with that you would need to furnish security in the form of mortgage ex. house, land etc.
Loans from Nationalized banks instead of private banks is recommended since the rate of interest is slightly low.

However, you would not get 100 % loan. Usually the applicant needs to fund approx 15-25 % of the total amount himself.

Punjab National Bank I have heard recognizes the IndiGo LOI among a few others.

Go for an 'Education loan' rather than a 'Personal loan'. Personal loans are more expensive. Moreover you do not get a moratorium period in a personal loan. Payback starts immediately. In an education loan the bank gives a moratorium period of 1-2 years to start repaying.

You will need to visit atleast 4-5 banks and pick the best option.

All the best !

I had a couple of friends take a loan from these guys after getting the LOI from IndiGo

:: Credila’s Education Loan India Web Site ::

Getting an Education loan is way better than personal loan as with the education loan you can claim income tax deduction on the INTEREST paid to service the loan


Disclaimer : I am in no way associated with the above mentioned education finance company or its agents or representatives whatsoever and hence can not be held responsible for any disputes or other issues that might arise. Taking a loan shall be at your own risk and I bear no responsibility.
Candidates are advised to do their research thoroughly from multiple lenders before applying for a loan anywhere

@cyrilroy21

CAE has requested every candidate to endorse ELP on DGCA CPL prior to leaving for the type rating.

I suggest all the future candidates to complete this requirement to avoid last minute running around.

The cost of the type rating is USD 34,500 inclusive of service tax in India. The cost of the type rating is standard irrespective of the location and includes local taxes.

However, the invoice for the type-rating in India will be payable in INR. The dollar conversion on the date of invoice will be the applicable price in Bangalore.

How many have been recruited in total on the basis of the Interviews held on 23rd July' 13 and 2, 6, 7,13, 16 Aug '13?
Just want to figure out the number of batches that would be formed. If the interviews were held over 6 days does that mean thr are 6 batches?

Hi,
A very rough estimate would be 10-11 people made it on each day. So 60-65 guys.
If you're talking about the batches formed finally for induction then IndiGo usually forms a batch of 16-18 people. So these are 3-4 batches.
As for batches for the Type-Rating, I guess it's more of a continuous process rather than a 'batch' starting TR together. Usually 10-12 guys start TR on the same day. And the gap between proceeding for TR is anybody's guess. A gap of 15 days to one month is maintained between the next set leaving for their TR.

Ya Hope that's not true.
KF shutting down affected a lot of people and their families. Not to mention the job market.
Something slightly more cheerful is ..2 good news in 2 days.
TATA-SIA JV announcement and Air Costa gets SOP from DGCA and their Ops start next month out of Vijaywada. Will fly Embraer 170 and 190.
I know some of us may say, we still wont have jobs but atleast the stagnant market is moving again.
