@fly girl - the heading will not be set or changed for you. again, beats the purpose of having the ipt.

I would not ask that ques.:p

What I am trying to ask is, do you fly with the traditional RMI or the "RMI displayed" on the ND?

@ fly girl - thanks for all the useful info

how many days after the interview did you have your sim test and does Jet charge you anything for the IPT?

@cobracommander
 

the actual topic should be, speaking for and against 'Fly By Wire.' and not boeing vs airbus.....but again no problem in practicing....!!! there are n number of topics to practice...how about debating on High Bypass Engine & Turbo Prop?

GD
 

Some of you are repeatedly asking about GD...and probably missed my post earlier

http://www.pprune.org/south-asia-far...ml#post6294221

ok guys dont want to be a mood kill but i am hearing that the gd is being deferred till may. a friend has mentioned this to me so i thought id mention it here. please do not hold it against me if its not true just thought id give you guys a head up coz even im not sure if it is.
apparently due to the ongoing pilot scam issues the jet hr are upto their necks with work. so there you go.

@ thearsenal
i really hope what you're saying is true (fingers crossed!), but i wish they could have atleast told us in the "results mail" about the approximate time or month
i have my college board exams from 25th and it's been a real nightmare preparing for 2 things at once, so an estimate from them would have really helped to prioritize my study schedule :ugh:
can anyone here manage to get through HR and get some kinda confirmation? it would be appreciated, thanks! :ok:

hey thanks alot for mentioning it here...:O though its kind of sad mixed emotions

@ aadityaslg

i misread your post, am sorry. i think you meant if the mode is on heading select. if that was your question, yes it is.

you can either use the traditional rmi or ask for the mode to be changed on the nd. again, depends on the person taking the ipt. he may want you to do it as per him.

an yes, i'm a girl with a girly name unlike aroumika here. haha.

@ rnp2

your performance in the interview decides your ipt date. as i said, the entire process and placement in batches is as per your performance.

the ipt is not charged for, since they use their own simulator for the test. infact there was no fee at any point through the entire process.

@ aroumika but you already seem to be prepared a lot my friend

is there anybody who can confirm the news given by thearsenal.....

ok i think i can confirm it now that same friend spoke to someone in jet HR n said its postponed till june.

yea a friend of mine who knows somebody n the HR also told me the same thing yesterday

Now THAT is a moodkill. :*

june :eek: OMG!!

hey does anyone knows that how much do u have to pay to jet once you get selected??
if anyone knows about this kindly let me know it would be a grt help....

15 Lakh to be precise.

@on wings
 

You've give two demand drafts of 7.5 each.

Believe me it's a good deal.

Well. during my Ng induction training 6 yrs back the company also took 15 lakhs but after completion and confirmation as F/Os 7.5 lakhs were returned to us in 2 yearly installments of 75K each, over a period of 5 years.

This was thanks to our association SWIP who fought for it & negotiated with the management as earlier batches paid 7.5 L. But that was then when cost structures were lesser now it could be different. All the best to those that make it!:)

Aeronotix

hey thanks alot to all that was grt help :ok:......

Apparently the DGCA has asked the airlines to put a pause to the recruitment process. They are going to verify all the CPLs/ATPLs and only after that the airlines will start hiring.

This shall take like 2-3 weeks.

I would take this as a positive sign as people who have received their licenses through unfair means would no longer be in the competition.

@ Mustang..Yeah Definitely a Positive..!
But then I don't get it..Spice conducted Interviews Until last week..!
But yeah it does give us time to prepare for the interview..Being optimistic here..! :O

so when is it going to start does anyone have any idea?

GD Dates
 

I personally got hold of Mr Bhagwat from the HR and he said that they wont be starting the GD process until June. He also mentioned that close to 450 pilots had been shortlisted for the next round but did not mention anything about the vacancies they needed to fill.

Happy Landings!

@aviatormohit

450 including those from august or from this exam

@3443 nautical miles
im presuming it is coz abt 190 are supposed to have cleared the examthis time around. so mathematically it seems abt right. probably 50 up or down.

Total number of of pilots who cleared written are in the range of 100-120 .
Plus guys waiting for GD who got out last time in GD are about close to 300.

@3443 nm
As far as I comprehend things, it is for this session. The last time around too they had close to 400 people for the GD which they were doing in batches of 30 and the process lasted for 10-12 days. Plus like u know some people who did not clear their GD the last time have also been called again.

Dgca mess
 

Hey guys

DGCA issues stricter rules for hiring of co-pilots | Aviation India: Careers

I know this is outa context but i had to put it up. Go through it and please lets every1 here know if u have an idea abt it.

" If a CPL licence holder does not fly for two years, the licence stands cancelled automatically.":ugh::ugh::ugh:

Does this apply to we guys already having indian licenses or for the new comers??:confused::confused::confused:

bi-annual flight review
 

I guess the rule he is talking about is Bi-annual Flight Review, its the same as FAA rules.
If you haven't flown for last two years then you cannot access your privileges unless you have either given a pilot proficiency test or bi-annual flight review within last 24 calender months.

people! correct me if i m wrong... i am a newbie... still learning the lessons of aviation...

if what i understand from this link is correct, what happens to all the jet airways candidates selected through the process so far, but have got their licenses issued on March 2009 or earlier? (considering they haven't flown since then). does this imply these candidates will be eliminated?

The Dgca website does not have any such rule....nd if its true...I am pretty much screwed..nd so are many others! :( :\

The rule for ‘Flight Review’ is mentioned on DGCA’s website as follows:
The Aircraft Rules – 1937
Schedule II - Aircraft Personnel
Section A - General
Paragragh number: 9
Validity of a license and exercising the privileges of that particular license are two different things.
Eg. Validity of a FAA CPL in the USA is till you attain age of 65, but there are limitations to exercise the privileges of Commercial Pilot. (Limitations as in medical requirement, recent flying requirement etc.)
Our Indian CPL is valid for 5 years but to exercise privileges the one limitation is one has to undergo a Flight Review (as mentioned above) within last 24 months.
Guys we don’t need to panic at all, if one does an IR proficiency test (which then is considered to be Flight Review requirement) so then our privileges are available again.
Similarly to those guys who have already been selected in an airline the type training cover number of Pilot Proficiency checks (e.g. Normal type check, IR/LR check etc.) then automatically they can exercise their privileges of a Commercial Pilot (i.e. to act as a Co-Pilot).

@ THE MIR Lemme Guess....lemme Guess..Was this an April Fool Joke :E

that article is written by the indian press, dont look into too much, they misinterpret everything that they are told. so dont worry about it.

economy and aviation
 

guys ..
the aviation industry is quite a fickle one and with the price of ATF skyrocketing with the global /ME scenario , chances are companies are going to have a re-look at their expansion plans. No one wants to have excess capacity and an under-utilised manpower situation if the economy slips back into the negative.

What happened in 2008 ,ie with the global recession , companies and Jet in particular cut their work force, delayed training of their new-hires by more than a year, cut pay hikes, took away allowances and re-negotiated contracts with vendors.That's how you stay afloat in a cut-throat environment as aviation and Jet Airways are masters of the game in India . When a few quarters indicated growth , it was a mad dash to add capacity and train pilots etc. Therefore the hiring etc.

If I were one of the candidates shortlisted, I would start praying real hard that the conflict in the ME subsides, the price of oil dips and stays below 100$ and the economy stays on track. The mood right now is more recessionary than expansionary .
Best of luck.:ok:

Does not look good at all if that is the case. It is starting to look more and more unlikely as the days wear on that the Gaddafi issue will be sorted without a full blooded war.

except indigo...any airline is gonna hire??

does any one has a clue that jet has how many vacancies???
