All the people who are trying to register :
"Are you all Type rated?"

I am asking this because as far as i know only TR candidates are eligible to apply. If non TR pilots apply they cant fill the *(mandatory) info about A320 hrs and LR and other Type related info. hence, you cant register.

Any Ideas??

Did you just mean that NON TYPE RATED pilots on 320 applying for GoAir's 320 Rated FO job ?



Nice way to flood their box.

@ harsh786techy



Are u surprised to know that there are sooo many TR candidates in the market ??

6 months back there used to be a saying for pilots in india...

It goes like... "bheed main agar pathar phekoge to..... seedha pilot ko lagta hai"
If u don't understand hindi i'll translate that..... it means " If u throw a stone in the crowd... its going to hit a PILOT"

Well now days the saying goes like "bheed main agar pathar phekoge to..... seedha TYPE RATED PILOT ko lagta hai"

I don't think i need to translate that...... and hope u got the point !!!!

I like the funny part..

Anywaz, i said that because i know a person(not sure if he is "the" one....name is exactly the same) on this forum who is trying to register but, is not Type rated.

So, i know the "Bheed" thing..... i wish i could take that risk with so much money...

I hope Goair gives some chances to Non type rated too...

i don't want to be a party spoiler here but trust me even after type rating they wont take
you , even the internal type rated candidates have been refused
the only thing that works with GO except decent hours are Money and connections......
but i would love to be proven wrong here

Vdaff, why should they give a chance?

Why give a chance when they can recruit a ready entry pilot?

Nah I totally agree. Qantas isn't hiring fresh cpls onto their A380 fleet as left seat throttle jockeys - infuriates me! Why must everyone want experience for an airline job, surely 150hrs in a light single should be enough to handle a heavy jet and all lives in it!!!

@MTBur

GA virtually doesn't exist in India, and turboprops are usually with the airlines. For the Air force you need to have prefect medical and many are already waiting on the line..so there are no other chances for us other than airlines.

For many Indian airline pilots, flying the 320, 737 or even the 777 747s are their first jobs

So...if that's all there is, why aren't they giving you a chance? Alternatively, if you need the experience and it doesn't exist where you are, why not go somewhere where there is the infrastructure to support GA?

Just putting it out there...

Simple Answer to vdaff's question

Supply and Demand

There are too many A320 type rated pilots sitting at home . Only once this supply runs out will consider someone without type rating.
Type rated candidates can also be released as first officer faster once recruited

can anyone tell me what qustions were asked in last assessments?

and when is the next assessment for GA expected??

and if it happens, is it expected to happen in large number??

GA doesn't have any preference on 320 TR schools like indigo has CAE?

@cyrilroy21 .. do you have any idea how many 320 TR pilots sitting home?

Just a rough estimate but dont quote me on it

Lower estimate 100+

Higher estimate 300+

I still think that there are few Kingfisher A320 type rated pilots around who got their type rating after they got their LOI from Kingfisher.

On Another note
Jet Airways last year had given an advertisement for A320 type rated pilots for direct entry onto their A330 fleet
I believe they recruited around 50 of them
