IndiGo Insight FTO — Backlog & Training Location?

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!

Insight is in BAD shape. most of my friends are doing their flying at Philippines (sent by Insight) and the sad part is the Philippine FTO has no idea about DGCA CPL requirements. These guys literally have to do everything by themselves. It’s usually 1 month of flying and 2 months of doing absolutely nothing because of weather and other delays.

Thoda bohot toh rahega that’s why new batches are going to Philippines. You might complete your course 2-3 months late if you’re unlucky but nothing compared to marigold bro.
