Indigo finalizes 250 A320Neo order.

IndiGo finalizes $26.55 billion purchase of 250 new Airbus A320 Neo jets - The Economic Times

Airbus to convince SpiceJet to buy A320 too.

I read somewhere that it takes 12 pilots for 100% utilization of A320 so that's 3,000 upcoming jobs for pilots. :)

any news about the next CPL exam this year ??

Any CPL exam from 6E is unlikely as they have 450 people to process this year...that would stretch till next summer I suppose...still fingers crossed and keep studying as CAE can conduct exam anytime before to keep their stocks up.
As for CASS; it's really not advisable to play that episode in your minds as things would look bleaker with every repetition...prepare for the next round.
Anyone have any news for PI/GD...are they happening?

Any one ? Not cleared interview IndiGo before but cleared his writtens this time
 

Hi all,

Is there any one here who had not cleared the interview round before with IndiGo before.
But has cleared writtens which was on 22nd Feb 2015 , And waiting for CASS,

I have some news that will be of some help plus need some advise about the same.

Pls get in touch in PM.

Thx.




Thx

cpl vacancy
 

hello,guys

i am new user to pprune post/forum.


my dgca cpl/ir is under process,

can anyone say when next indigo would be comming up ? this year or jan/feb16 ?
some one mentioned , these 400 will stretch cass n all till nxt summer.

but noone looks to comment on that.

would it be good to have 320tr for this vacancy or it will make it narrower!

someone please shed these out for other unemployed people.

For those of you whose interview is pending for JFO 2015 CAE has put up a link where they show the Tentative Interview dates for JFO 2015 . You will need to log into your CAE account

Any clue anyone ??
 

How many people left for the JFO 2015 interview ?? and the others who have already been interviewed gone for their type ?

Type rating loan
 

Guys any idea about the process of securing an education loan for type rating on the basis of LOI provided by IndiGo?
I went to SBI head office in Delhi to inquire about the same. They said that as this is not a degree or a certificate course, they cant provide me an education loan.
Even Cradila (HDFC) is not entertaining people with LOI.
Any bank/financial intitution that can provide a loan for TR on the basis of LOI?

To the best of my knowledge, banks won't give an educational loan. But personal loan is possible.... Higher interest rates though.

Interview Questions
 

Can anyone please tell some interview questions? My interview is expected in Nov. for JFO. Thanks

Indigo interview postponed
 

The tentative interview dates for JFO 2105 have been postponed for 2 weeks on average...dunno what's taking so much time.
Hi @Cyril , have all the JFO2014 August batch people been absorbed?
How many batches till now from JFO2015?

2014 has been absorbed 2015 will start from this month end on.

Next 6E JFO Exam
 

Greetings People!

Any clue regarding as to when Indigo may conduct the next JFO exam?

Thanks

I hope after or when they're about to be done with the interviews of the 2015 candidates.

news is that around 25 JFOs are being inducted every month.

Sorry to be off track but I really need this info...I hold a foreign PPL and since we cannot get jobs outside India, I am thinking to join IGRUA or NFTI and get campus or contract of Air India/Indigo respectively. Both the institutes said I have to start from scratch and get my Indian PPL and then CPL and go on with the course from day 1 just like everyone else. From rules perspective it seems right but from money and experience perspective I am at the loosing end. I have few options/questions, I would like to know if they are feasible?-

1) Should I study on my own from one of the Indian flying clubs and save money and try through open market with self sponsored type rating?
2) If IGRUA/NFTI then can i at least maintain my own log book so that I can start with Indian PPL afresh but don't loose my hours from old PPL? Is it even possible/legit/legal to keep foreign license details and again get a new one here? Or conversion is compulsary?
3) Would I loose all those PPL hours completely if institutes disagree to maintain my own logbook?
4) It will surely create hassles while creating computer number for theory papers. Since it asks for flying exp hours and license details till today, I am confused what to put.
5) I recently got my Indian class 2 medical done. If you get into any of these institutes what would be the ideal period to get your class 1 done so as not to waste any months of class 1 validity while preparing for theory.

Delay in A320 neo deliveries
 

With the new A320's Neo's facing technical issues and deliveries delayed, chances of remaining JFO's being inducted anytime soon seems quite remote. Any news, anyone?
