Yes I maybe wrong on the figure but the last date to be applied for the post of Co-Pilot was extended to 11th June which gives enough margin for additional folks to chime in & apply for it
Tolip :- Have you applied for the same post too at AIX?

Tolip:- Are you sure if that was the reason why your friend didn't got invited to sit for the examination. I am aware that they have they have that stipulation of eligibility criteria, but I mean why would they extend the date for applying for the post without changing the criteria?

Bro that is what we are Speculating as for now. You cannot contactanybody regarding the matter because noone will answer and if they do they will not know what the hell you are talking about. Well they have a case, i mean they can decline your application because its clearly mentioned in the modified advertisement that you can only apply if you meet the requirements on 1st april. Which i know is really stupid, they come up with an advertisement in march and the examination takes placein september.. Thank god they din come up with a clause that you should be current during the recruitment drive...If that was the case then everyones candidature would have been rejected!!!!
..... When did u get urtype endorsed.. Any info on wen we guys can be called or rather will we guys get called at all??

Yes buddy it's a pain in the 
to get to them but surprisingly the lady on the other side seemed very cooperative to answer our queries.
It will take 2-3 weeks for the 9th March applicants selection process and once that is done it's time for the real show to begin ie; the General category.
Btw which city are you from Tolip?

KOCHI: Aiming to increase the strength of pilots for optimum utilisation of its fleet strength, the Air India Express today decided to recruit 50 pilots, 30 commanders and 30 co-pilots within one year.
Shortage of commanders was the main issue discussed at the board meeting of the budget airlines here, chaired by Rohit Nandan, Chairman and Managing Director of Air India and AIE chairman.
Nandan told reporters that of the AIE's requirement of 252 pilots, there are presently only 186 pilots and 60 are undergoing training.
Nandan said the AI and AIE will function as separate entities. AIE has to be on its own.
Earlier, pilots were being hired from AI on deputation to the AIE. The deputation period would be reduced and AIE will have to be on its own, he said.
"The umbilical chord between Air India and Air India Express will have to severed," he said, adding, AIE should have its own pilot force.
Fourteen new aircraft will be added to AIE's fleet strength in a three-year period. Presently, the airlines has 21 aircraft of which 17 are available at any point of time.
On AIE plans to launch domestic flights, Nandan said Air India wants AIE also to operate in the domestic sector.
"We want them to supplement our services that will happen only if the strength of pilots is augmented," he said.
There would be increase in the salary of pilots, captains, trainers working conditions and emoluments would be comparable to the best in the industry of existing pilots.
"In order to use the fleet of AIE optimally, the board discussed the issue of shortage of commanders. It was decided to take necessary measures to improve emoluments and working conditions to make it comparable with the best industry standards. This will ensure the continued service of existing commanders", Ansbert D'souza COO, AIE and Captain Pushpinder Singh, Deputy COO, AIE told reporters after the board meeting.

As part of its efforts to cut the umbilical cord from parent company Air India Charters Ltd, Air India Express will soon launch the hunt for a chief executive officer (CEO) for the airline.
The airline will publish advertisements to find the right person to steer the company, that will undergo a major revamp in the next five years.
Headed by a chief operating officer (COO), the Air India Express has never had a CEO. According to the airline authorities, the post of the CEO has been created with an aim to make the company independent from Air India.
The decision to appoint a CEO was taken at a meeting convened by Civil Aviation Secretary K N Srivastava at the Air India Express headquarters here.
The meeting was attended by Air India chairman Rohit Nandan, director board member K M Unni and heads of various departments of Air India Express.
“Appointing a CEO is a major step towards becoming an independent company. Presently, the company is being headed by the chief operating officer (COO).
“The newly appointed CEO will be vested with more powers so that the airline can function as an independent entity,” the airline authorities said.
“Air India chairman will continue as the chairman of Air India Express, even if a new CEO is appointed,” they added.
Srivastava has given instructions to start the operations of the headquarters here from January 1.
