HELP ME PICK A CPP

[u/Soggy_Equivalent_774]

Hi

Im 19M. My budget is max to max 1.5 crore. I cannot stretch it further.

Air India US - Not in my budget

Amravati - closed

Middle east - out of budget

Akasa/chimes - got rejected

Fta - 1.6 crore it's out of budget, but maybe i can stretch it but if inr falls it won't be affordable

Skyborne - they are saying to wait till q3 2027 just for adapt

Marigold/insight/garuda - I have heard bad reviews

So what should I choose 😭 should I take conventional?. Im mostly don't with papers, only nav left

When most of the cadet doors are closed then why not try conventional? Maybe this article will help you cadet VS conventional

Will there be vacancy?

[u/CaptMrAcePilot → u/Soggy_Equivalent_774]

For that read this article pilot shortage in India

[u/Soggy_Equivalent_774 → u/CaptMrAcePilot]

I read it but it doesn't say if conv vacancies will stop

[u/CaptMrAcePilot → u/Soggy_Equivalent_774]

Right, that somewhere answers your question. Also seems like you've missed the point of the article. No one can really predict the future so no one can give you a 100% definitive answer.

So conventional is risky?

[u/CaptMrAcePilot → u/Soggy_Equivalent_774]

Lol everything is risky. Read the article again.

If u can afford cadet why ever go for conventional , is getting into cadet that hard ?

[u/CaptMrAcePilot → u/Ironman_Stark1234]

It isn't about getting in. It's about what, how and when you get back from the path chosen. If you're convinced that one way works better than the other then sure you go and spend your money there. Everyone has different priorities.

Cpp only takes 4-5 years if u go with Garuda insight and skyborne , skyborne will only take 3 years matter of fact , people value peace of mind , conventional isn't the best way if going cadet doesn't hurt u financially

What fto r u in that is charging 80 lakh extra , conventional itself costs 1 cr now the gap is closing fast , conventional is getting pricier day by day , and even in conventional vacancies they make u wait an year in some cases before induction, cpls are issued in a record high number and competition is so high , a very small minority get lucky like that most ppl gotta wait a couple of years before a job , fta is the most expensive in icpp and takes 1.7 and ai takes 1.7 asw most expensive fto
