GD Dates
I personally got hold of Mr Bhagwat from the HR and he said that they wont be starting the GD process until June. He also mentioned that close to 450 pilots had been shortlisted for the next round but did not mention anything about the vacancies they needed to fill.
Happy Landings!

As far as I comprehend things, it is for this session. The last time around too they had close to 400 people for the GD which they were doing in batches of 30 and the process lasted for 10-12 days. Plus like u know some people who did not clear their GD the last time have also been called again.

Dgca mess
Hey guys
DGCA issues stricter rules for hiring of co-pilots | Aviation India: Careers
I know this is outa context but i had to put it up. Go through it and please lets every1 here know if u have an idea abt it.
" If a CPL licence holder does not fly for two years, the licence stands cancelled automatically."
Does this apply to we guys already having indian licenses or for the new comers??

bi-annual flight review
" If a CPL licence holder does not fly for two years, the licence stands cancelled automatically."
If you haven't flown for last two years then you cannot access your privileges unless you have either given a pilot proficiency test or bi-annual flight review within last 24 calender months.
people! correct me if i m wrong... i am a newbie... still learning the lessons of aviation...

if what i understand from this link is correct, what happens to all the jet airways candidates selected through the process so far, but have got their licenses issued on March 2009 or earlier? (considering they haven't flown since then). does this imply these candidates will be eliminated?

The rule for ‘Flight Review’ is mentioned on DGCA’s website as follows:
The Aircraft Rules – 1937
Schedule II - Aircraft Personnel
Section A - General
Paragragh number: 9
Validity of a license and exercising the privileges of that particular license are two different things.
Eg. Validity of a FAA CPL in the USA is till you attain age of 65, but there are limitations to exercise the privileges of Commercial Pilot. (Limitations as in medical requirement, recent flying requirement etc.)
Our Indian CPL is valid for 5 years but to exercise privileges the one limitation is one has to undergo a Flight Review (as mentioned above) within last 24 months.
Guys we don’t need to panic at all, if one does an IR proficiency test (which then is considered to be Flight Review requirement) so then our privileges are available again.
Similarly to those guys who have already been selected in an airline the type training cover number of Pilot Proficiency checks (e.g. Normal type check, IR/LR check etc.) then automatically they can exercise their privileges of a Commercial Pilot (i.e. to act as a Co-Pilot).
The Aircraft Rules – 1937
Schedule II - Aircraft Personnel
Section A - General
Paragragh number: 9
9. Privileges-No person holding a current pilot’s licence shall exercise the privileges of his licence and rating unless he has satisfactorily undertaken a ‘Flight Review’ in the preceding twenty four months, to show that he maintains the requisite competency and knowledge, in accordance with the procedure laid down by the Director-General in this behalf:
Provided that the requirement of ‘Flight Review’ shall be deemed to have been met in case the holder of the pilot’s licence or rating has satisfactorily undergone any one of the following flying tests or checks in the preceding twenty four months, namely:-
(a) the skill test required for issued or renewal of the relevant licence or extension of the rating;
(b) the proficiency checks laid down in the paragraphs specifying the privileges in various Sections of this Schedule relating to pilot’s licences; and
(c) the skill tests required for issue of renewal of Assistant Flight Instructors’ Rating or Flight Instructors’ Rating, or a competency check required for renewal of these ratings.

economy and aviation
guys ..
the aviation industry is quite a fickle one and with the price of ATF skyrocketing with the global /ME scenario , chances are companies are going to have a re-look at their expansion plans. No one wants to have excess capacity and an under-utilised manpower situation if the economy slips back into the negative.
What happened in 2008 ,ie with the global recession , companies and Jet in particular cut their work force, delayed training of their new-hires by more than a year, cut pay hikes, took away allowances and re-negotiated contracts with vendors.That's how you stay afloat in a cut-throat environment as aviation and Jet Airways are masters of the game in India . When a few quarters indicated growth , it was a mad dash to add capacity and train pilots etc. Therefore the hiring etc.
If I were one of the candidates shortlisted, I would start praying real hard that the conflict in the ME subsides, the price of oil dips and stays below 100$ and the economy stays on track. The mood right now is more recessionary than expansionary .
Best of luck.

Does not look good at all if that is the case. It is starting to look more and more unlikely as the days wear on that the Gaddafi issue will be sorted without a full blooded war.
