Hey,

The rumour mills are all saying April end/ Early may. No credible source. All you can do is prepare. I hope you've updated your profile on the CAE website.


Cheers

Need help for Indigo prep.
 

Any info on results?

Any new info guys?

Regarding the Indigo's next hiring.
 

march ended...any news guys ?

Curtains !
 

Im just back from the IndiGo GBP office. IndiGo will hire no more until 2016. VT-IAO is the last aircraft delivered to them this year. No more deliveries until 2015 mid.

In the meanwhile to account for the pilot attrition and exodus to Tata-SIA, Air Asia etc, they have taken enough including the ones who wrote the exam in 2013. The current Senior FO lot will get promoted to Capts. etc. Moreover more of their cadet pilots at Gondia are getting ready too.

They plan to utilize their current stock of pilots to the maximum and it is being said that a pilot will fly average 70-80 hours per month as opposed to the current 60-65.

So, unfortunately, bitter but true....The Show's Over folks !...for now !

the people who had their CASS after Feb have not received the results as yet, right?

@holding short


will they finish hiring this lot ?? or will they put them on hold..?? any idea ?:ugh:

Not True!!
 

There will be another 8 a/c coming this year,And hiring will also continue,Utilisation will go up...that's true.

Team UPWA

Not yet
 

CAAS results still awaited!!

@aakashseth63
Yes they will finish the recruitment that is in progress currently. From the selection that happened in 2012 (written exam) (typerating done at CAE Dubai/B'lore), there are about 17 in a batch who joined in March. Besides this, there are approx 40 awaiting joining after completing their checks right now. This is 2012 written exam candidates.

Now, the 2013 written exam candidates who are undergoing CASS right now will be approx 45-50 by the end of this selection. Their process will complete by mid this year and they will go for typerating by the end of this year to join next year.

So this will give you a fair idea of how many IndiGo have already taken.

@UPWA
What you are saying is partly true. However the new aircraft that will come in now would be to replace the ones that came in 2008. So that will keep the average fleet age steady at 2.5. It will not increase the net fleet size (perhaps by 1 or 2 this year). Secondly, IndiGo last year defered a few deliveries of 2014 to take deliveries of A321 next year. So after this, basically, new aircraft will only come in when Airbus starts delivering the NEOs. Any addition before that, will be to merely replace the old aircraft.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad new guys. Wish Im proven wrong !

curious
 

Who in GBP gave you all these info

@Holding Short @UPWA
 

You mean to say that Indigo will not hire any more till may be next year? :eek: What about people saying Apr end / May Beginning? All false rumour? :ouch:
I personally spoke to someone in CAE who told me that they might come during the above stated period for Indigo. :confused: Can it be that they could be hiring in anticipation of pilots getting poached by New Airlines? Or are you very sure that they will not hire? Too confused.. :ugh:

Any latest news about the 2013 recruitment?
