Mystere...how's it working for Indigo....did you get hired as a Junior First officer or did you already have time on type. What's the first thing you do after you arrive in Delhi, how's the scheduling and flying ....can you give me some idea....I am waiting on my security clearance to come through

A-320 Tr
Hi Mystere .
I'm doing the A-320 TR with simcenter on aug 7th .
It's true that in India you don't need more than type rating to be accepted ?
When did you start working for Indigo ?

Careful
Attn ALL Pilots wanting to go to INDIA:
I have been to India on several occasions in search of a job since 2003. My last visit I went to ALL airlines and met with HR and Chief Pilots. I took my resume and added an A320/B737 Type Rating (depending on which airline i was going to) just to see what they would say.
Here's what happened:
SpiceJet - Dont bother. They are full of lies. They told me to get my B737 type rating and they would hire me. 6 months later I went back and wrote B737 Type Rating on my resume, they said "oh, we'll let you know". I'm still waiting for the call. Repeated attemps to call them have not worked.
IndiGo - For all you wanting to join IndiGo, CAREFUL! They were so rude to me in Delhi. THEY LACK CHECK AIRMEN! (INSTRUCTOR CAPTAINS) So it may be up to 6 months before you can actually fly the actual aircraft. By then your type will be invalid! Someone in IndiGo seems to be profiting off of SimCentre. I smell corruption! Ask SimCentre if IndiGo has sufficent Check Airmen. Im sure they will avoid the question.
KingFisher - Same as SpiceJet. Waiting for the call.
Jet Airways - Very nice people. But they want 100 hours time in type due to past bad experiences. Nice job guys, it only takes 1 idiot to ruin it for us all.
Air India - Very nice people. If you can get past security in Santa Cruz. Same as Jet. They want 100 hours time in type.
GoAir - Also very nice people. They WILL hire you! This is the only airline I actually felt I had a chance with.
Just so you know. I have over 2500 Hours with 2000+ Multi and near 2000 JET! If they brushed me off, imagine a 250 hour pilot!
Don't mean to discourage anyone. Im just telling you my experience. If you have an inside connection. Im sure you'll be ok.
In conclusion - India is lacking CAPTAINS not FIRST OFFICERS !!!
GOOD LUCK TOO ALL!!!

simlyfly
its basicaly after yot put your money in operators a/c you are on training.
when training starts even operator does not know.
so you hang on operators promises for long ,and fed up, operator will give you tkts to go to frankfurt .....etc for sim,
tkt ,airline, nothing exists.
so answer will be bcz its raining in gatwick ....... sim centre is closed.
can you wait for 2 years after paying money to sim a/c?
can you revalidate your licence from your a/c?
please get back to the basics
not promises

What makes me say they are, get ur facts right buddy. Most airlines including kingfisher /Indigo are giving students a choice between TR at simcenter or CAE. A big chunk leaves for simcenter over the next 2 months. What world are you in.? And an LOI clearly states appointment as trainee copilot in the airline on succesful completion of type rating.

A LOI (Letter of Intent) is nothing. If you are getting a LOA (letter of appointment/offer letter) then go for this with your eyes closed.
A company can straight away dis regard any LOI, stating that there was an intent of a job but due to present circumstances, there is no job opening .. blah blah... end point, a LOI does not legally protect your intented job.

Is indigo really short of pilots?
I recently was selected through there CAE-Indigo selections. They are now putting in training with CAE, madrid only.
They told me that after completing the training in madrid it takes another 4-6 months to get online. Is it true?

If you have an Indian CPL and are without a job, at this stage any job opening is good. Get into a cockpit first, log some time and then think about your future prospects. Also don't waste your time thinking, there are 12,000 yes twelve thousand guys in the pipeline, you may just miss the bus. Wishing you all a long and happy flying career!
