India | Low-Cost 
3.1Captain - Current employee
Recommended to other Pilots Positive business outlookApproval of managementYou get to travel all across India as pilot flying to lot new destinations and airfield which keeps things exciting. A extremely fast career progression from first officer to a captain which opens a lot opportunities for switching to international career. New aircraft’s with less defects. Good safety and standard culture for reporting. At least the company won’t shutdown for years to come as making money it’s one its objective. With help of staff travel and my id travel you could travel across the world with some hassle.
With all said in the pros if money coming in via salary on a standard contract (40% of middleast carriers) you won’t have time and energy to travel as work schedule is extremely hectic and fatiguing and you won’t have leaves to travel. Eventually you would start sticking to your bed on off days as burnout is real. If you take relax contract with reduce pays and more leaves( commuting contract) you won’t have money to travel even though you have time and health on your side. Lot of policies change which keeps cutting privileges and upgrades could become unattainable and cancellations of Staff travel suspension as a punitive policy. Even a minute of a delay will require an explanation. Lots of pressure to rush and to depart on time which could be dangerous at times. Salary, allowances and Bonuses aren’t that great still stuck 10years behind the actual market. Cost cutting at every level as food being served to crew is bad and could even have serious health issues in long run and long duty periods with 12-14hrs without eating good food nevertheless is not recommended.
Improve the salaries and increase workforce as employees are underpaid and overworked. Improve the Rostering.
If you are starting your career, great place to be in.

1.7First Officer - Current employeeRecommended to other Pilots Positive business outlookApproval of managementFast transition from first officer to Captain
Company really don’t care about you. Minimum rest is the norm. No respect for pilots. Treated as 3rd class citizens. None of the suggestions or complaints from the crew are really looked into. Cost cutting at its peak. Safety can go for a toss is OTP needs to be maintained.
Really start caring about your pilots, there will come a day when you will realise the importance of pilots. Management pilots need to grow a spine and stand for the pilots as a community rather than trying to suck up to their bosses.
Please don’t look to join this airline. If health and mental well being is your last priority then Indigo is the airline for you
3.1Captain - Former employeeRecommended to other Pilots Positive business outlookApproval of managementHighly professional compared to other Indian carriers. Plenty of growth opportunities. Innovation approach to problem solving. Accepting of feedback.
Very hectic schedules. Inhumane work timings and durations. Extreme penny pinching visible at every level.
Offer better contracts. Reduce fatigue across the workforce.
Great place to start your career with but don’t stay too long as it might affect your health in the long run.
2.1Captain - Former employeeRecommended to other Pilots Positive business outlookApproval of managementQuick upgrades from First Officer to Captain and from Captain to trainer. Flies to almost every destination in India and easy staff travel. Most of the things are given in black and white. Spoon feeds to a great extent. You'll fly a very young fleet of aircraft.
1. Your existence in this company will be on minimum rest. 2. Your offs are considered your rest days. 3. They will bring you back home at 11 pm before your offs and put you for a 3 am reporting the day after your off. 4. Bad food, bad layover hotels and a general trend of cost-cutting at every corner. 5. There is an absolute divide between all departments with no respect for pilots. 6. I'd probably be medically unfit or dead in 10 years if I kept working with them without rest and sleep
Stop exploiting people. Day in and day out you bombard us with emails on safety, while no one seems to actually care about it. Don't treat employees as use and throw material.
Join if you are a First Officer and want to be a Captain. This is what this airline does best, cause everyone keeps quitting on them.
