I agree with blackhawk....there is no dearth of pilots who can afford TR...however there is another bunch you may still try to make it by taking loans etc....if they come that close to be able to get the job.....
I doubt that govt may intervene in this matter.....
Only if airlines loan us for the TR and charge interest over the years....that may be still an acceptable solution.....
I heard that indigo was asking as high as 29 Lakhs for job.....its as if they are charging for TR and to fund there a/c buying....or pay us salary from that amount for a year or so.....

Does anyone if AI/IA also charges for TR when they were hiring?

Well you don't pay anything upfront but they deduct about 20-25 lakhs over a period of 5 yrs from your salary.
But this was not implemented consistently as the Unions protested. In some cases it was stopped in between and in some cases the pilots even got back all the money that was deducted.

Question

Hi

I have a question regarding the Jet Airways height requirement for 162.5 cms

I have a distant relative who is 161 cms and hence is unable to apply for any future recruitments

Was this height requirement there for previous Jet recruitments also ?
I only noticed it from the current Jan 2011 recruitment and this rule also applies to direct entry captains .

Anybody with behind the scenes know-how knows the reasoning behind this requirement ?
Even legacy carriers like British Airways only require a min height 157 cms

Thanks

regarding height

This is the height required even for the air India, and also the age of 35 for the trainee was there in Air India only but with so much supply in the market everyone is sticking to these requirements.

Air India requires atleast 152.5

For those between 152.5-162.5 an ergonomic check will have to be done


And about age 35 rule . Even IndiGo's max age limit is 35 for Jr. Co-Pilots

Most of the girls are below 162.5 but their forms were excepted last time and few of them were also called for gd so i don't think its a big issue. HR department must have copy-pasted it without considering the fact that there are many females in aviation.

about height

don't assume that they will not consider the height yourself, I know one girl in Air India in 2009 vacancy she cleared Interview and at the time of Simulator test they simply told her you are short we cannot take your test, and was sent back.

Folks, I received an email from the recruitment personnel of Jet Airways stating that they will not require fresh CPL holders for the next 1 year for mainly two reasons -

1.) There are 170 pilots who were recruited last year presently in the various stages of training.
2.) 477 pilots cleared the Jet Airways exam in February 2011.

Sadly, there is no room for ab-initio pilots for the next one year. Well, that's what I was told.

Don't worry about it, Narwal. You've just got to hang in there and grab the opportunity.

I have no idea about the GD to be held. I got this email only mentioning that there are no vacancies for the freshers. Those who cleared the exam in February 2011 should be fine. I reckon that must have been the last batch for this year.

@flyjet787

The GD is still on as some have received dates for the GD

@narwal

Why is Jet Airways your last option ?

What about IndiGo ?

Also add to the fact they recruited plenty of type rated pilots in addition to the trainee F/O's
