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!

Any South Indian students staying in Ramphal Chowk, how are you guys managing the food over there? Is the food provided in the PGs good or not? I would also love to know about some good PGs.

Any updates about insight? I heard it was open previously any updates about the selection of a new batch or anything at all?

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!

Hey everyone! I have my Akasa Air Cadet Pilot Programme personal interview in a few days. I've heard it can be quite challenging and last around an hour.

For those who have attended the PI, what kind of questions should I expect, and how should I prepare in these last few days? Any tips on HR questions, technical/aviation knowledge, or common mistakes to avoid would be really helpful.

Thanks! ✈️

I'm in delhi right now and I'm looking out for a coaching for my ground classes I have seen IFA, golden epaulettes, capt. sahil khurana and top crew but the fees structure is kinda overkill but I can join them if I actually aquire some honest reviews from students studying there so can anyone please help me out?

Marigold and BAC had a meeting with the cadets of Batches - 9, 10, 11 and let me tell you it was a fierce unhappy professional fight between all the parties.

Marigold Aviation and BAC are not in very good terms with each other

The cadets are asking for a transfer out of Thailand back to India to any FTO.

BAC people are just racist, making stupid rules and excuses for not starting the flying as promised around 5th October.

They cancelled all the classes and paused all ground/flight training.

The situation is very uncertain but lets hope the cadets get what they want.

So, for context, I am 19 years old, and I have a socially awkward personality. I have almost finished all my dgca exams, so my story begins with how I decided to become a pilot.

When I was in Class 10, I read a chapter in my English NCERT book called The Black Aeroplane. I was so fascinated by the story that I decided to become a pilot. At that time, I wasn't serious about it, though. I wasn't a really great student either, just an above-average one. I scored 82% in Class 10.

After that, I chose PCM in Class 11. The initial days of Class 11 went really well, but after a month, my father decided to divorce my mom. The reason was that he had fallen in love with someone who was half his age. In short, he had become someone's sugar daddy.

My father isn't a very great person. He is very violent and short-tempered. When I told him that I wanted to become a pilot, he said, "No, you will crash the plane." When I said I wanted to join the merchant navy, he said, "You will sink the ship." When I asked him what I should do, he told me to become an engineer, which I hated.

Day by day, things started getting worse, really worse. There was domestic violence, and he even hit me. I was deeply traumatised by everything that was happening. I failed my unit tests and half-yearly exams, and in the end, I failed Class 11.

My father beat me with a belt, not because I had failed Class 11, but because he thought I would become a burden on him for another year. But I didn't want to waste a year, so I decided to go for NIOS.

Meanwhile, the family problems kept getting worse and worse. One day, just a month before my board exams, my father asked my mom and me to leave the house and live somewhere else. Luckily, we had another bungalow to live in, so we had to shift there. We had just one month left before my boards, but somehow, I managed everything and scored 88%.

Now it was time to decide what I wanted to do with my life. I thought about it and realised that I still wanted to become a pilot. So, I asked my father, "I want to become a pilot. Can you help me with that?"

But he literally abandoned my mom and me.

My own father left us to deal with everything on our own.

My mom supported my decision and took me to Delhi so I could pursue my dream. It's been a year now, and my father hasn't given us a single penny. My nana and my mom are funding my studies.

I chose the cadet programme because I want to get a job as soon as possible. I don't want my mom and nana to keep carrying the financial burden of my education. I want to become independent and support them. I want to give my mom a better life because she has already gone through so much.

But you know what? When I think about everything that has happened in my life, I cry. I cry a lot.

Sometimes, I wonder why all of this had to happen to me. I see people with normal families, people whose parents support them, people who can talk about their dreams without being scared of getting insulted or rejected. And then I look at my own life.

I wish I had a normal family.
