I've already received a call letter for the Jet Airways GD its says " please reach the venue @ 10:00am, on 1 april 2030!

I am preparing hard for it! you do the same.
:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Who gives a sh*** its PP"RU"NE ANYWAYS!

Good for you!

I dont need to since I already have a flying job! Just mentioning what people have been talking about in the office. Dont believe me - Wait and Watch!

Quite evidently, you do!

Thank you for your kind reply.

whoa we have tempers flaring everywhere, i think everyone here needs to chill lol! :cool:
i know for sure that the "medical" stage has been completed 2 weeks ago for those batches ahead of us that have been waiting for the medical for a long time now. so obviously there is some progress, (however slow it may be), in the jet process
so the best we can do is keep studying and be prepared at all times, there's alot to study (and hence obviously alot to remember), so revising over and over again might be a good idea too, besides there should be more written exams conducted by spice/indigo, so writing them in the meanwhile wouldn't be a bad idea either, it would keep our options open more than anything else, good luck everyone! :ok:

Thanks aroumika :ok:

Much needed advice.. I Need to get back to studies rather than picking up fights on pprune. .

well my source is mr bhagwat, i had a friend call him up a week ago, so she just told me about it a couple of days ago so i thought id share it with you guys

Ive got news that it won't be this year.
 

OMG!!! :eek: is this confirmed :ugh:

Ive got news that it won't be this year.
 

OMG!!! :eek: is this confirmed :ugh:

no i certainly don't think so, there's still another 7 months in this calender year and it's highly unlikely that it won't be within the next 7 months

having said that, i sometimes wish the recruitment team could send out a notice informing us approximately when they intend to conduct the next few rounds, so that we don't remain anxious with the wait and can prepare ourselves accordingly, it's the least they can do

i sometimes feel envious when i hear of people getting recruited and sent for type-rating so quickly with the other airlines within about a month or two, the million dollar question is "why does jet have to take close to a year for the entire process?" :ugh:

Hey, does any of you know, how much needs to be paid for our type rating ourselves and how much would Jet pay(after we get selected of course)??
Coz if its like we have to pay half now, and half they will deduct from the salary in time, then its sensible getting the type rating now (even if we have to pick a loan).
I feel so, the situation now is not as uncertain as it was a year or 2 back.. If we get a rating, I am sure it will take us less amt of time to start working rather than waiting forever for them to conduct the next round and God knows how long we would have to wait for the round after that and the entire process.. :*
Another adv we would have if we get out own rating is, we dont have to be bonded labors...."Labors", yes sounds hurting. But only labors can go on strike, Not Officers(Indian Law)..:sad:
*I would like some frank opinion and not stone pelting at each other, every one is as frustrated..

instead of thinking too much about jet selection process one can also try his/her luck in other airlines. indigo has changed some rules for selection which indicates they need more pilots than they are getting. :ok:

latest update
 

I just spoke to HR person on their corporate number. The sweet lady Shreyasi replied "At present the recruitment process is on hold."
When queried about how long will it take,
she replied "we cannot estimate the delay at present, but we will contact you when it comes up."
:confused: :confused: :confused:

I just spoke to HR person on their corporate number. The sweet lady Shreyasi replied
 

They cant what ???? estimate the delay :suspect: this is sooo disappointing but hey thanks for informing though here........

i feels so frustrated....

@dark_star
the only reason why i would skip the indigo written even after being called was because i was unhappy with their rules/conditions, so any idea which among these rules they have changed?

@everyone else
yep, very disappointing news indeed to know that the jet process is on hold, atleast on the good side, i can temporarily put my books away, sit back and enjoy the rest of my summer vacation, cheers! :ok:

@ITAviator
i personally don't think getting a type-rating and then applying for the airlines would be a good idea for the following reasons:
1) i've heard that airlines are no long hiring already type-rated low hour pilots because they'd rather evaluate them through the entire selection process and then send the selected candidates for type-rating, that way they're selecting more deserving candidates
2) correct me if i'm wrong, but a type-rating is only "current" for a period of 6 months, so if you return with a type-rating and don't get a job within that period, you'll have to spend more money on renewing it (including traveling, living and food expenses), not to forget that the initial type-rating itself is costly, so why would you want to spend more?

this is just my opinion, others might think differently. the only reason you can go ahead and do your type-rating before you get a job, is if you have alot of contacts and you're guaranteed to get a job after you return, good luck! :ok:

@aroumika
 

now the cool off period for written is 3 months instead of 6 months and one doesn't have to pay 375$ for written in first two attempts.

i was rejected after the interview but many of my friends are flying for indigo and are happy and i can say with confidence that selection procedure is fair.

some people may be skeptical about the clause that they will have to give checkride even after completing type rating but according to my info no candidate has ever been rejected in any of the airlines after LOI has been issued to him.

above mentioned reasons should be good enough for anyone to give it a try.

P.S.- i am not CAE agent or anyone like that. But i want people to give this exam coz i have cleared jet written as well and there is already too much competition. it will be good to see people getting selected in indigo from jet lot. will be win win scenareo for everyone.:ok:

@dark_star
this is good news, so you're saying the first two attempts are free of cost? if not, what is the amount that the fee has been reduced to? would you also happen to have any idea about when the next attempt would be?

@aroumika
 

i believe written is free of cost. you will have to pay if you clear written ( dont know if amount is changed). have no idea when the next attempt is but i advise all those who want to give the indigo exam to update their profile on cae site, also mail to capt upadhyay ( or whatever his name is) , parul and radhika.
and for rest check indigo threads.

@ aroumika and dark star
 

i got call from indigo for april ie last month attempt and you have to pay 375$ there s no change in that as i got email from HR saying only after making the payment they will tell exact date of exam.... and yes cool off period is reduced to 3 months... is this rule changed in ths month then yes i dnt know

@on_wings
nope, you're wrong about that, the exam is now free of cost for the first two attempts, and only if you pass the exam, then you pay $375 towards the rest of the CASS process, but if you fail, then you don't end up paying anything

@flyinghigh89
yep, you're right, this is my last post about indigo on this thread, back to discussing jet again, over and out :ok:
