All you guys were FINE when you were called for the Spice exam and HAPPILY paid 25k!! Now, just because YOU didn't "pass" you're making a hue & cry about this

P.S : Neither did i pass the spice exam nor I was called for one.

I will be more than happy to say i am " IN " but if this protest includes many other AIRLINES too....Mind taking those ?
Yes Johnny Boy, we don't mind bringing up names of other airlines too. That is only if they start charging 25000 rupees per candidate and the recruitment is non-transparent. Does Jet Airways, Go Air, IndiGo charge candidates for the exam (IndiGo an exception after two attempts). If you don't care about this matter, neither do we have to be worried about what you have to say. I think YOU should be better off wasting your time learning from various expats here in this forum who ask questions relating to new jobs/environment/procedures/work culture& living conditions. We are an integral part of the so-called culture, procedure and environment and we need to bring a change. You're not ready for it, fine.

attitudeflying - None of the guys were fine and happy (as you happily put it) at the time of paying 25000 rupees for the exam, except for some who already knew they were going to get through to the next stage. There was no fallback option. I hope you're aware of the current situation. It is not because one FAILED the exam that everyone decides to go against the system. It is people like you that do not have any intentions to sort this out. Instead, you just sit there and watch the fun and laugh at others misery. Get a grip, mate. It doesn't matter if we fail or pass, the issue is to get rid of the hefty fee, if you still have no clue what we're talking about. We'll take the fight from hereon. You and Johnny Boy can hold hands together and take a walk in the park.

aroumika, mentat, mkav and all those who are reading this....Keep it going.

Good stuff!

Kudos for ppl standing up against the exploitation by the various airlines (SG in particular) in India!

There surely should be order and transparency to the way the these exams are conducted.
No matter how opinions differ on this regard, doing the rite thing is important!

Count me in for this just cause.

Lets hope we see better days for unemployed pilots in India.

Abhi.

@attitude flying Johnny boy

these guys are doing the right thing.

I know a guy who cleared the SpiceJet exam in Jan because he knew someone inside.
This makes life difficult for people like you, me and the rest who are equally deserving but got no jack.

You know what 'people like me' do? They work hard. They move out of the country in search of jobs. They work hard doing any odd jobs. Save up money. Do a sea plane rating. Build contacts, meet wonderful people. Keep doing odd jobs. Save up money again go flying!! I don't feel i am entitled to the shiny jets just as yet.

"It doesn't matter if we fail or pass, the issue is to get rid of the hefty fee, if you still have no clue what we're talking about. We'll take the fight from hereon. You and Johnny Boy can hold hands together and take a walk in the park."

Johnny Boy seems a reasonable person. I'd be more than happy to meet him/her and share my passion with him/her.

Good luck.

Till now all i can read is people crying for not being given a fair chance when they should feel privilege to even get a chance in first place.You lot are talking about transparency when results are out but forget samething when preparing for exams , how about being transparent and say i got exam letter because i had contact in HR.
You call that fight , i call it hypocrisy at it's best.

Don't teach pilots who have been part of system and taken bullet on open chest when so called " system changers " were in their aviation nappies and certainly not by pilots who got their licence recently with no proper or prior understanding of how aviation works in India...

I asked a person who is trying to gather momentum about fighting the bullet and he replied me with his frustration which in his position is totally understandable given many of us have gone through that.

Jet never charged fee's for exams but AI did (500 Rs) which is acceptable but they all make up those in training cost.Go Air is not better than Spicejet if not worse and Indigo use to be like Spice before some wise man sitting in MD seat took notice of falling " extra income " and made 2 exam free rule.
Don't worry about what i say , sooner or later things will make you understand how things work rather then being a rebel.

I have already wasted some quality time of mine by understanding global aviation which i suppose India is also part off.Expats are integral part of airline against whom your trying to pick a fight.You see aviation is very small community where people learns from experience ones, if that wasn't the case then every humpty dumpty with bare minimums would get candy in Airlines.

Change doesn't happen in a time, it takes time and for that matter many have made a change by not bothering with this kind off organizations but which some of new entrants in flying field has destroyed by constantly begging on doors of like Spice and KFA who in return have bitten every one.
Change doesn't start when few people of chosen lot feel things are not getting the way they want....

It's way bigger picture than sitting in dharna's.....Boycott things in whole and see the change yourself.Got guts by not sitting for a exam knowingly your batch mates might succeed you given a chance ?
Fight bullet with bullet not with bare hands...

@ Attitudeflying

It's not defending about words or actions but mere a advice that many gave me and others about Spice including expats who have global T&C experiences.

Amen !

Amen to whatever BS you just wrote there. Your been there done that statement holds no importance in this cause. Let me remind you and make it more transparent that I haven't been called for this exam yet.

But it is just one simple thing I have been talking about - reduction of the exam fee. Why is it hard to get that into your heads.

attitudeflying - Please be happy with your seaplane rating and your rosy world. Nobody wants to know what you do and who you meet. But right now, please for the love of God, stop taking a ride with your pessimistic views.

I still don't get it. The two of you (Johnny Boy and attitude) go ga-ga over something else when the problem was actually zeroed down to the staggering amount of 25000 rupees. That's all I'm talking about.

Enough said.

Amen to whatever BS you just wrote there. Your been there done that statements holds no importance in this cause. Let me remind you and make it more transparent that I haven't been called for this exam yet.
And you call yourself professional
Let me make it clear to you too - You should have started your lil fight with system when you didn't got called for.Looks like you have hard time reading stuffs and taking things , no wonder why everything is BS too...

I still don't get it. The two of you (Johnny Boy and attitude) go ga-ga over something else when the problem was actually zeroed down to the staggering amount of 25000 rupees. That's all I'm talking about.
Feel bad about fee's?
Do not go for one in future too....no point in going nuts over a trivial issue when simple things like transparency of recruitment's doesn't go down in head of yours.

Hypocrisy at its BEST !

Standing ovation. Johny boy does it again.

Please call yourself professional if that's what you think you are. But hey, get your punctuation marks and grammatical blunders fixed, before you call yourself one.

Take it easy.

Don't you have an ICAO English Proficiency Test Report already? Or that which is issued on your CPL (if you did your training overseas)? You might want to check the DGCA website for the list of examiners if you are yet to do one.

May I ask when is your interview scheduled for? Good luck.

I am worried about the same, first we need to find an examiner, get an appointment, take the result card to dgca to get a stamp on the licence, i wonder how would i manage to do all these within such a short duration, beside the fact i need to study . And by the way, does anybody know any examiner in Delhi,(please PM me his or her contact details immediately) i tried to contact Capt Shweta Kaushal. Don't know why, but she said, she does not take the test anymore

hey,
http://dgca.nic.in/operator/Examiners_LPR.pdf

this is the link in which all examiner's names r given

but it states that only an organization for which u r working can arrange examiner for you........

so i think our FAA or other icao license would work for now
