Another question that I constantly get is-‘what is a cadet program?’
You undergo a set of selection processes and upon successful completion, you get called for an interview with that particular airline. The interview panel usually comprises of one or more people from HR , along with one or more senior Captains of that airline. The type of questions that gets asked during an interview usually varies from Airline to Airline. At the time of writing this post, there are only 3 cadet programs in India - Airasia, SpiceJet & Indigo Airlines’ program. Each of those airlines have tie ups with the worlds’ best flight schools namely- CAE Oxford Aviation Academy, FTA etc.
The initial selection process is conducted by the flight school and it usually puts to test a candidate’s psychomotor, psychometric,decision making capabilities and multitasking abilities. It is usually accompanied by a test for English and Math skills in the form of either a computer based test or an actual written test. It is almost always multiple choice based questions and the number of questions varies for each Flight school.
Phases:(Generally, for up to date information kindly check the respective programs’ website)

1. Cpl, Meir & Uprt**
2. Ground classes (DGCA)
3. Type rating in either the Boeing 737 or Airbus A320, depending on the Airline.
The order of this will vary according to the training partner and airline chosen.
