Found this one in the Times of India.
But a bit suspicious

Hello everyone,
We are one of the premier placement firms in Chennai, India catering to the emerging economy sectors including Airlines and Aviation.

This is funny! Leading airline in India flying Embraer jets?? AFAIK, the only airline in India flying Embraers is Paramount Airways and it in no ways is leading
The money is what is most important. A disclaimer saying that applying is at your own risk and that Times does not guarantee the accuracy of advts takes care of that.

Did an undercover operation to expose this so-called airhostess academy/airline called FaAir.
Students have been charged Rs. 85,000 and promised a job in the airline this academy was supposed to start.
How they got students was by releasing two catchy ads in newspapers and also lauch a website. The opened a training centre in Marol and another at Santa Cruz. Apparently Rs. 8 crores has been collected, according to the reporter Ruks Chatterjee. Students were shown in crowded classrooms and wearing uniforms.
Just goes to show how gullible people are.
This airline was supposed to be launched in May but no sign of it as yet.

But Frankfinn Airhostess Traning Academy is to start a low-cost airline called Air Frankfinn.
(This one is not a scam). Frankfinn was in the news recently when it brought its students to Chennai on a familiarisation/study tour. Real tamasha and one more way of extracting money.
The best part is that after all the training that is imparted to these students (these institutes are run by ex-airline personnel), there is no guarantee that they do get jobs. The placement guaranatee is supposed to be a hoax. Many students from rural areas fall for this trap. Outlook magazine also said that students from interior Punjab see an airline job as a passport to success and that its the latest cottage industry in Ludhiana. To become a cabin crew.
Most students can't communicate well but look okay.
