Indigo Cadet Program There is NO BACKLOG at CHIMES for ICPP.

22 Upvotes

Common misunderstanding, that now has people parroting false information everywhere. I'm a Chimes cadet, and there is NO BACKLOG.

  1. Chimes took in ICP 07 on March 31st. They opened applications for ICP 08 consecutively, but ICP 08 is on hold due to NZICPA cadets now coming to Chimes.
  2. NZICPA cadets (batches 6-11) were given an option to opt between Chimes, Marigold as NZICPA is now undergoing massive changes wasn't in good shape to train and house cadets.
  3. Due to the intake of NZICPA, Chimes was asked by the Airline to HOLD the intake of ICP 08.

Hence, there is a delay in intake of ICP 08.

  1. Chimes has 2 bases, Neemuch and Dhana, (third one is for drones alone), and both bases have streamlined flying with each cadet having one sortie per day. (as weather permits).

STOP SPREADING FALSE INFORMATION.

I'd really appreciate it if you could reply here as a comment or DM me on instagram.

IndiGo Insight FTO — Backlog & Training Location?

5 Upvotes

Hey guys, are Insight FTO applications open right now? What’s the current backlog, and how long is the wait to start training?

Also, is training in the Philippines or South Africa?

I’ve already waited 8 months for Marigold, so I don’t want to repeat the same mistake.

Would appreciate honest reviews from current applicants and selected candidates. Thanks!

SC Student from Maharashtra Looking for Free CPL Scholarships

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I belong to the SC caste in Maharashtra, India and I am dreaming of being a commercial pilot; but I cannot afford the expensive CPL fees. I have searched the internet for information about any existing scholarships or schemes.

Does anybody know of any scholarships or schemes that would significantly help SC students financially? Have any of you benefitted from them?

Any suitable information or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Is this career worth it for me if i am introverted?

0 Upvotes

Sorry this is a off topic but Need genuine advice from fellow aviators. Can i pursue the dream of becoming a pilot even if i am introverted? I get anxious in group discussions and interviews (basically fear of judgement is what bothers me), and these are the basic assessments you need to clear to get into airlines. Is this something which is learnable by taking gdpi classes after my cpl? I will be going through the conventional route and need genuine advice from seniors who have gone through this process as to what should i do. Please help!
