FAKE
 
their website lists air india as one of their clients but India is not mentioned in the list of countries
Secondly major carriers such as AA, BA,Continental, Delta, KLM, Lufthansa do not hire low time pilots.

nikhilheb 16th Mar 2011 11:04

But their application looks pretty comprehensive.

Haha but the part with the stress on Indian Male applicants got me laughing

ATLEAST THESE PEOPLE ARE COMING IN OPEN ABOUT THERE PROCESS OF RECRUITMENT. I HAVE MET AGENTS WHO CLEARLY ASKS FOR 15 LACS COMMISION..AND THOSE AGENTS ARE PILOTS LIKE US. THE ONE I MET RECENTLY FLIES B200 FOR BINDRA'S.

Money making process from desperate pilots..Lets Boycott them.

cyrilroy21 16th Mar 2011 11:53

Look on the bright side....

Atleast they refund 3 lakh every year for 5 years after you join the company :E

propdog 16th Mar 2011 18:51

Absolute scam! Infact, they will soon be contacted by an airline they listed as a client for unauthorized use of their name and logo in their website!!

What is that part about 'MALE PILOTS ONLY' crap? Bluestar must be run by some backwards a$$ idiot. The only bigger idiot will be the one who gives them any money!

superliner 20th Mar 2011 14:34

Hmm... I thought this was an opportunity knocking on the door until I ran into this thread here! BTW, I'm not a CPL holder... I was more interested in their advert for 'technicians/engineers'...

Just curious, how can I be certain that this is not a scam? Does any authority keep a track of consultancies where you can verify their credentials?

nsk.air 20th Mar 2011 20:00

With this thread, dont know how valid all this stuff is?

OzAviator 20th Mar 2011 21:38

Nye, I just saw their site mate, seems a big time scaming scheme. It's not just Air India, They've got Air New Zealand on there and NZ ain't there as a country either. Plus, I know for a fact that Air NZ's not associated with any such guys.
The Funniest part is they've listed all the American airlines that they could left, right & Center however, the U.S.A. is not there on their list o client countries as well. (guess they know they'll get caught a lil faster if they listed U.S. as a client eh. bcz those guys take stuff like this very seriously)

This is DOWNRIGHT HILARIOUS man!!! :}

I feel the reason they've asked just for "MALE INDIAN PILOTS" is bcz they feel that in the light of the recent events, FEMALE INDIAN PILOTS might be subjected to more scrutiny by the authorities...which is exactly what scam artists like these wouldn't want right? Unwanted Attention i.e.! However, the fools don't seem to realize that at present everybody in the Indian Aviation industry starting from Airlines to Regulators to Trainees to Aviators is under the scanner, irrespective of their gender! :E

Please be Careful of such scams guys!

@Cyrilroy Kudos to you mate! your information's so on time you're really an asset to the community! :) Keep up the Good Work! :ok:

OzAviator 20th Mar 2011 21:54

Just like what A69 pointed out regarding OCEANIC AIRLINES, that airline only exist in movies. Maybe Blue Star Aviation Services is also hiring actors/actresses to act as a pilot for a movie set?



Oceanic Airlines (sometimes called Oceanic Airways) is a fictional airline used in several films and television programs.

Its most recent major appearance is in Lost, where Oceanic Airlines is featured branded with a highly-stylized logo depicting an Aboriginal dot painting that resembles a nazar, a bullseye, an island, or an "O" (for Oceanic). The show's fictional storyline begins with the crash of an airline flight called Oceanic Flight 815.
The airline has also been featured in many other media. The original occurrence of Oceanic Airways was in the 1996 film Executive Decision. The film's producers shot extensive footage of an actual Boeing 747 but with a different logo and livery to that used on the later Lost Oceanic flight. This stock footage has been reused in several films and television programs, spreading the Oceanic Airlines brand across various and unrelated fictional universes.

fake
 
I called there toll free number, they said they have 5200 vacancies and asked me to fill the form and put the application.. ha ha funny.......

avio_badal 27th Mar 2011 15:28

this is a fraud.... dont mess with them..... i dont know why government is so lenient and dont take any action against such touts???
its really really too much.. these touts and companies knows that in India CPL holders are dieing for job and most of them are from good families. and for there dream of flying there parents will arrange any amount of money they will demand for........... shame on such touts and government too... so corrupted.....
even the airlines in India are just taking advantage of helplessness of cpl holders and charging 300-450 USD as exam fee.
recently spicejet conducted exam for cpl holders on 4th march in gurgaon and charged 20,000INR per candidate to take that bull**** test. only 300 cpl holders were called. and "confidential" word was mentioned in the call letter that dont tell anyone else.
this is a clear exploitation and taking advantage of this, such scammers/touts/froad companies are making fool of innocent cpl holders ........
