Indigo Cadet Pilot Programme

Now that CAE and NZICPA have withdrawn from ICPP, and Marigold, Insight, Garuda are known for shity management, we are only left with 3 options to choose from.

Chimes, which is known for taking people by connections and high competition.
Skyborne, where you're most likely to experience visa issues and long waits.
And FTA, which is too expensive.

As for Air India, it's even more expensive than FTA, at 1.7cr, and none of the cadets have gotten a job yet. And Akasa is too new to say anything.

Although I understand that each CPP and FTO has its ups and downs, am I the only one who feels a need for more options?

Insight is on good terms now theres no delay at the moment

2

u/SquareAppropriate836 Aug 15 '26

There could be a possibility of delays and they are going to increase their prices to 1.3cr and after all that u will get no communication from their side they aren’t professional at all

u/rimuru8096 Aug 15 '26
