Last day for depositing money = 10th of Dec

The money is for the psycho and the medical which will be done AFTER the written. Then why take it BEFORE the candidate has even taken the written exam.

Date of Written exam = 18th of Dec.

Now tell me that ain't a scam!

I totally agree with "bad attitude" ... initially we were told that the money was refundable ... now its non-refundable ... and why get everyone to pay the money if its for the psycho and medicals ... only those who qualify for the same should be asked to pay right?

scam

5 years back VISA AIRWAYS (dash-8) operation,did same
made money by calling lots of pilots,may be they finished the money and now starting to collect more.
modus operandi was same.

if nobody deposits money then these dates will get extended.

these practices are going on in established companies as well.
its routine bussiness now.
people have money ...but JOB?

manjeet, the question is not about 7400 or 10000 ... so many middle men have come up in this business that it ain't even funny. it's high time we put a stop to this nonsense and start weeding these "criminals" out ...

I like your attitudelets join hands against these anti social people.

I am not paying the money.

It will be great if we all get together to find out more about them.

Unless they tell something in detail we must not pay for the examination

cheers

flat out refuse to pay anything...ask for a/c reg no; if the a/c are not in India ask for the Intl reg no.

Ask for DGCA NOC and Approval Certs
Look where will they be sending you for training in USA if that training center is a FAA TRTO.
Talk to the Chief Pilot

NO MORE SCAMS.....

LEFT WING IS CORRECT

VISA AIRWAYS 5 years back took lots of money from PPL/CPL Holders n all the promises.
even had one dash-8 painted with logo and company name and a picture of the aircraft in flight international.

if somebody is very keen to book his seat in this company (pockets full of money) he should at least follow left wing and protect himself via DGCA route.

Osprey Aviation: Vital Info!!

Well..I believe many pilots are lookin for more information (office address etc.) on Osprey Aviation Services. So here is some....

1. The office address in the bank records is 209-210 H6, Agarwal Towers, Subhash Place, New Delhi-110034

2. The Axis Bank A/c has been opened recently by the Company and there's just one transaction of Rs. 7400. I guess its purely opened for this purpose.

3. I searched for the US based- parent company Jetex Inc (it's been mentioned on the newly designed website), but couldn’t find any website/url on the web.

4. Osprey sometime says that they are recruiting for a third party. Well if that is the case, why should any aviation company outsource their needs to a company that is so new that their website and bank accounts have been launched/opened recently?

Guys please make sure before you make any payment about the credentials of the company. I would request if anyone living close to Subhash Place, can go physically and find out the existence of the company. Quite possible that there's no such company!!

the company must have read this thread, so opened a/c at axis bank.
soon they will have one a/c opened @ pprune.
i think this company didnot learned from other LCC"s.
LCC"s first opened a/c at PPRUNE.
And basically camoflaged actual realities.

Yeah let's not give into these middlemen and agents , I think unity is required whether its for fighting against terror or taking united action against these aviation buggers... in fact even Jagson airline has strtd something similar charging some 16lkhs for a dornier-228 rating out which 12lkhs is fr the actual rating which itself is quite a high amount for a dornier and rest 4-5 lkhs for a Jagson employee. Lets stand united and not give even a single penny to such crooks.
