Thumbs up Indigo & Go Air Medical Exam

Hi guys, i dont know if its right to post this question here, but, i want to know from the people who are working for go air and indigo, and also to the people who know the right stuff, as to where are the Medical Exams conducted for these two companies in Delhi... and what is the Eye Exam like ,eg: what are the tests they conduct for the eyes, like ishihara test or lantern test for the colour vision, or the Cover test to detect perception depth etc.

and i want to know the accurate stuff and no guesswork please. Also if any expats working for indigo could provide an input regarding the eye exam it will be appreciated..

Cheers
David.

regarding the jet:
the tests are all same as class 1 except that you dont have to do eeg
but instead of that you need to do stress test (treadmill test)
thats it
rest other tests are
blood (lipid, sugar fasting, etc etc)
urine
chest x ray
ent with audiometry
eyes test
stool test (even this is not done in class 1)

you are welcome
for the eyes the tests were normal as it is done in routine check including a check for spectacle number of your eyes and then glaucoma and if required they may even dilate your pupils but it is done for only few people
regarding the laser treatment i am not sure of
you wil have to consult any dgca class 2 doctor for it
they can guide you properly

oh yes how can i forget that test
actually they make you do ishihara test twice
once by jet doctors and again by hospital staff
you will have to read all the plates
they do check your eyes with machine but i dont think they do any other colorblindness test with them

Thumbs up

thankyou mate, that was helpful... but i didnt understand the machine checking part, what exactly do they ask you to do or look in the machine... were you selected recently with jet or you have been associated with them since long, not that it matters to me much, but i have heard its a very good company to work for in india..

Thats a new one. May i know whether that statement is based on a simple medical exam or a lifetime of sheer hard work?

No wonder its called a "Company" Medical.

Also your statement means that its been a lifetime of sheer hard work, excellent rosters and lots of wide-body time. Wish you a speedy retirement then!

@avalanche007

Ok son, I see that you're side stepping the one question asked by david320, powershanks and valentino.

Im really curious too .. how long have you been working in jet airways ?

If you're saying working with 9w is an "enjoyable experience" and "one of the best airlines to work with", care to elaborate how ?

From my stints in jet and kingfisher and a few other airlines in this region, I can say it was a below than average experience.
Many reasons, but i'll stop here for now.

Blue side up --

estranged soul

P.S : "Working" for an airline means you are a full fledged salaried pilot. NOT a trainee on stipend.

estranged soul went straight for the kill instead of trying to slowly,enjoyably,surely and painfully ferret out the truth. Well done, anyway, estranged one.

it's quite amusing to watch this desperation amongst newbies to act like decades-experienced commanders when in truth they're in the SAME boat as any unemployed little piston engine kid. Equally funny is to watch the SAME attitude being carried forward when a copilot gets his first command and immediately tries to act as if he's been on the left seat for 25 years and expects to be called SIR.

""Working" for an airline means you are a full fledged salaried pilot. NOT a trainee on stipend. "

I'd like to add my 2 bits to this - working means you are a CONFIRMED employee, not even if you're on probation. Until such time, and even after that, keep your feet firmly on earth otherwise you'll one day end up in a situation where you'll be forced to literally do that.
