Not surprised at all 
Question
How did you find out ?
Next Question
Were they recruited to fly the 737 for AIX or the A320 for IC due to the exodus of pilots
Or maybe even the 777

Ab-Initio = CPL ( No rating )
Seriously? don't think so......internal problems are way bigger right now in AI.Hope recruitment for new ab-initio does not end as another 2009 repeat

Well yeah. They got a Job in the current scenario without having to compete with thousands of unemployed pilots. So yeah they are lucky for that.
But mind you the 777 is not an ideal jet aircraft to start your career.Most of AI 777 flights are Ultra Long Haul with 4 crew ops.All these new guys will do is just sit on the right seat in cruise and handle the RT. That's it. You really won't learn much. Forget about any hands on flying experience they will hardly ever get to do a landing or T/O.
But yeah they are extremely lucky to get a Job without much competition in the current scenario.

IFRUA guys have this privilege but they do sacrifice 3 years to get upto this level with headwind from all fronts.This pilots waited almost a year now so they deserve it.
On the other hand anything is possible in AI...first make a recruitment panel then select privilege lots( Kins of uncle aunties/Politicians kids ) then dissolve the panel of selection based on fraud for a year.After all this mess call those who got selected for interview and place them on widebodies .....that's AI recruitment.€
AI bonds their pilots with heavy bonds with 5-7 yearly term+ post dated cheque and charges almost 27-30 lakh's divided monthly for training from salary.Leave the job and pay them post dated cheque's that was submitted while joining.
Have AI stopped charging for TR now?

They still recover 25 lakhs for training over 5 yrs from the salary. The bond is for 5 yrs after you get released and if you break the bond at any point you still pay 25 lakhs. The bond amount doesn't depreciate.

Well atleast you dont have to pay anything upfront
I believe the time period in IGRUA has been reduced from 3 years to 18months or maybe even a year due to plenty of airplanes

Paying upfront is way better then getting paid in peanuts considering we will have to spend 20+15 Lakhs for being Online.
So paying 15 upfront is better than waiting for salary for months and then getting pay after deduction of almost 50%.
36 months or 18 months still they have to face DGCA/WPC/AF Medicals which can eat up atleast a year.Plus the training cost is way bigger than non IGRUA one's.
Its a jackpot that few lucky ones get and its all well deserving for this pilots.

Upfront or later completely depends on a particular individuals situation. If some one has already taken a loan of say 20-25 lakhs for CPL training it would be difficult/risky for them to take another loan of 15-20 lakhs for TR.
And the salary deduction for 25 lakhs over 5 yrs would be about 40K a month. That is more like 20-25% of the salary not 50%.

True but if your on a firm offer with nicely written contract you can afford upfront rather than wait for monthly deducted pay which is not anymore monthly incase of AI,its 2 months delay pay for AI pilots.
In anycase upfront is always risky without a firm confirmation like Jet gives and not be fooled by the likes of Spice/KFA.

I think the rate is more - they do not have Cessnas. They used to have Zlins & TB20s for single engine flying and the King Air C90 for multi engine flying. Now they are progressively replacing the fleet with Diamond DA40s for SE and DA42 for ME. These cost more than Cessnas per hour, almost 10k/hr for SE and 35K/hr for ME.
Are you planning on joining for a CPL or planning on going there for a recency or renewal?
