As per the previous posts (rumour), if the exam were to be held on 5th January 2012, they would have sent the confirmation email. It doesn't seem to take place anytime now.

Actually no third attempt. My friend got his rejection letter yesterday.
If there was a third attempt, they would have told him so.
What about the freshers exam for the Q400 though? Was Kanz indicating about the Q400s when he says delayed indefinitely?
Regards,
Cactus.

Cactus - Yeah, I think Kanz is talking about the exam for the Q400s. I have no idea about the the 737 type rated exam being conducted again. So you're saying there wouldn't be a third attempt eh?

NO third attempt if you ask me..
No airline can allow its pilots to cry foul for each and every management decision. Imagine the implications and all. Look where AI and Jet landed up cause of excessive liberties to their pilots.
They already allowed it once when they took the 2nd attempt. The interviews might be fried up but no one is going to accept a mistake already corrected. Once is more than enough. Besides the interview process with every airline is too shady to ever make it fair and honest.
Damn it.
I even have doubts over the fresher exam being delayed to that extent. Spice Q400 fleet is the one of its kind in India. They cant possibly slack off pilot recruitment for this aircraft.
It might be delayed for a month or two.. but definitely not beyond that.
I might be wrong.. just my opinion though..

Never heard of that before. Funny when everyone "finds out" or gets to "hear" stuff and post it. Eventually it doesn't work that way. Anyway, lets see where this is going.
Regarding the invitation for the exam. Mahantesh sent out 2 emails in November and December. In November, he mentioned there would be a delay in the exam. In December, the guy says 'We have received your CV and shall get back to you incase any requirement/position comes up in future.'
That's about it.

love2fly - Don't take it too personal. I wasn't being pessimistic at all. It is only the rumour part regarding the SG recruitment process that is creating ripples here. I don't have any issues, neither should I stop "surfing". Good luck.
