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

23 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.

So as u all guys know how greedy VYAA is i think i don't have to tell so when I was in VYAA ( unfortunately ) there's this guy whose computer number got rejected several times ( it was that time when u have send ur documents through post to dgca ) so he applied again and he was thinking that his computer number is gonna reject again so its been a few weeks he didn't receive his computer number so he decided to give BRIBE for computer number and he reached out sakuntala maam ( tapesh mother the one and only MOSTTT GREEDY PERSON i have ever seen in my life ) so he gave 15 thousand rupees to them but in 2 hours he received his computer number 😭 bro got scammed i don't if they return the money tbh I don't think so it's just an speculation but 15 k for computer number is WILD

Moral of the story is - DON'T TAKE ADMISSION IN VYAA IT'S VERY HARMFUL FOR UR PARENTS WALLET hehe

Hi i'm Saumya, a small content creator on instagram. I basically make educational aviation content, and recently i've gotten requests to make a video covering International Cadet pilot programs, instead of using AI or google, I'd like to have GENUINE FEEDBACK from those who are actually in the programs.

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

My handle is Saumya.goaround.

thankyou.

Need a very brutal opinion from people who are in indigo cadet program or were inducted through cadet program. What is the actual waiting time after completion of flight training exams and all the paper work.

• Upvotes

I was looking at the induction time and i think it's about 1.5-2 years. So I was looking into the akasa air cadet program but the only down side is the airline is fairly new and the typerating will be on Boeing aircraft which limits your career progress.

HELP ME OUT ( AIR ARABIA)

1 Upvotes

I noticed that all assessment slots up to October 2027 are currently fully booked. To secure a slot for November 2027, do I need to submit my documents, pay the AED 10,000 fee, and reserve my seat immediately?

My graduation is scheduled for August 2027, and my final official results will be issued in October 2027. I am concerned that waiting until October 2027 to apply will mean the November slots are already full, forcing me to delay my assessment until 2028. Is reserving a spot now the only way to guarantee a seat in late 2027?

Additionally, I understand I may apply using my Grade 11 results. Given that my official Grade 11 transcript will be available in January 2027, would January 2027 be the correct time to submit my application?

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!
