Hi friends ,
Specially those who appeared last time and did reasonably well still did not receive positive outcome.
I am fully convinced that by no means it should cost spicejet 25000 rs
The CAT/ GMAT/GRE / IITJEE/ UPSc no one ask any thing near this .
This is an absolute case of cheating torture /financial exploitation of young aspirant of our country.
So far I think no one has legally analysed the issue.
I am requesting all of us to unit and stand against this financial heinous crime towards us .
And believe me no one is going to help us if we dont report the matter to concerned authorities.
I request you all to join ICHA (Indian CPL Holders Association ) they have gml address ichassociation
They are filing a case against all this kind of activities but they need strength.
They are planning to send these details to DGCA and Ministry of civil aviation.
This probably would reduce the fees if nothing else happens.

Jet Airways Converts Option for 17 Boeing Planes
NEW DELHI – Jet Airways (India) Ltd. has exercised an option to buy 17 single-aisle 737-800 planes from Boeing Co., a senior executive at India's largest airline by market share said Friday.
"Yes, we have converted an option for 17 jets into a firm order," said the executive, who declined to disclose the value of the deal for the short-to-medium range planes.
At list prices, the contract is worth about $1.4 billion, though customers generally negotiate steep discounts.
The order comes at a time when Jet is trying to cut operating costs, especially that of jet fuel. Intense competition also hasn't allowed the carrier to raise fares much to cover those costs. Jet Airways posted a net loss of 7.14 billion rupees ($138 million) in the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2011, compared with a year-earlier net profit of 124 million rupees.
Chicago-based Boeing says the 737 is its best-selling commercial airliner with more than 8,800 orders. The aircraft is offered in four versions with a seating capacity of 110 to 220 passengers.
Swati Rangachari, a spokeswoman for Boeing India, declined to comment.
The Jet executive said the new planes will be inducted into the fleet over the next one-and-a-half years and will be used to replace planes that are currently on lease by Jet.
Mumbai-based Jet has a fleet of 100 planes, including 43 737-800 aircraft. The airline owns about 40 of those planes, with the remainder on lease.
The airline, which began operations in 1993, offers flights to 76 cities, including 24 international destinations such as London, Dubai, Hong Kong, Toronto, New York and Brussels.

yes spicejet - 500USD and indigo - 375USD, the outright rip-off of cpl holders in india continues and yet we have no choice but to fall into their trap and fill their pockets, i just wish all of us combined would start making some noise about how such airlines clearly take advantage of our deplorable condition and bring it to the attention of the media, it's about time their money-making tactics need to be exposed, i'm sure arnab goswami on times now would do a great job! i mean 20-25k for a written exam and excess of 15lacs self-sponsored type-rating? - nothing short of ridiculous! one question i still don't have the answer to - if i go about getting my own 737/320 TR, i'd spend anywhere between 12-14 lacs, so on what grounds are airlines here increasing this cost to 18-20 lacs?

Did Spicejet, Indigo (or any other airline charging candidates for their selection process) keep a gun on your head or use any other means of force to pay them $500 and appear for their exams ?
If your answer to the above question is a "NO" (and im pretty darn sure is), then you, my friend, are the only one to be blamed for this mess.
You (and by "you", I mean all of you aspiring airline pilots), are the only ones to blame for the way this industry and profession is right now.
That includes all you P2F guys and gals who prostitute yourselves by paying to sit on the RHS and log hours hoping to make it somehow to a bonafide paying job someday.
All of you basically, lack the will and unity to boycott such shady airline selections and interviews, which are merely eyewash.
Why ?? Because there are way too many selfish souls amongst you who will be only too happy to see people boycotting the airline selections (if at all it did happen), as it would tremendously reduce their competition.
Sorry fellas, I do feel for your sorry state of affairs, but it's a cruel world and avarice, over population and the rat race culture has disastrous consequences.

@estranged soul
you're right, i couldn't agree with you more, but who said anything about a "gun being put to my head"? i (and all the other cpl holders) have a right to complain after spending so much on the cpl course and clearing all the papers, but yet the expenses never seem to end with airlines making money out of us, which clearly they shouldn't be doing - besides what do you expect us to do? sit around for weeks, months and years and expect a job to fall into our laps without us trying?
having said that, i was asking for the same thing as you mentioned - "the will and the unity to mass boycott any airline selection" that demands such outstanding sums of money from us, and bringing this to the attention of the media to raise the matter to a higher level
and just for the record, i haven't spent a single dime on any airline selection (so i can vouch for myself not falling to such "low standards" as you call it), i have only managed to make progress with jet, which happens to be the only airline in the country out of 6, whose selection process is rightly "free" of cost
judging by your statements (correct me if i'm wrong), i'm guessing you're already hired and happily working for some airline, which makes it easy for you to openly make such lavish statements, but keep in mind that you too at some point of time in your life were an "aspiring pilot" just like all of us, except that it happened much easier for you than what we're having to face right now

when is the delivery of these 17 planes expected? and i wouldn't worry about the kf pilots, like i said earlier it makes more sense for them to stick to 320 carriers like indigo
just saw on the news that the government might permit the fdi in our carriers from 26% to 49%, i wonder if this might improve our situation?
btw talking about TR costs, i've forgotten to mention this before - last year i received a mail from higher power aviation dallas, upon my inquiry about their 737ng program, and they told me the cost was 17250 USD (8,62,500 INR) for the course + 2400 USD (1,20,000 INR) for jet transition = 19650 USD (9,82,500 INR)
my million dollar question is this: even if their costs have increased over the last one year, why is the jet process for the same a/c 20 lacs now? it's a staggering difference, can anybody please answer this for me? isn't that too much for a type rating?

i just hope they give us 2-3 months notice for the interview like they did for the gd, rather than a mail saying "please show up for your interview 1-2 weeks from now"
