sure the 310's and the 747's might be getting phased out ... but they just might be going back to the lessor. they will definitely be in use and are most certainly out of date.

in any case you've missed the point. even if the a/c were to be out of date. and the company were paying for the rating, then why bother? Even if you get 10 hours on type, you stand to gain! considering that there are Zero jobs out there right now!

in any case fella's ... give this your best shot. prepare hard. whether you make it or not, you'll be well prepared for the future exams which folllow ...

agent123, spot on, they gotta shell out money from their own pockets for their checks!

Well looking at the current situation i don't think that there will be any induction after this.....We cannot even imagine any Recruitment in KF or Jet.... So this is the only chance the wannabies have if they want to fly....

And i cannot imagine anything fair in india...There would be some influential involved right now..... U know what i mean....

Mate whats the use of the endorsment if u are not going to fly that machine....In that case u just signed a bond with the company and ruined your carrier just like the guys in KF who are on stipend.....

the aviation industry has a 10 year boom bust cycle ... those low time guys who don't get in now, will either have to quit the industry or keep thier license current for the next 10 years at additional expense.

looking at the above in view, a 5 year bond doesn't seem all that bad.

anyways, why am i trying to convince anyone ... air india's a dream job. i would love to fly for them eventually. the job security, the perks ... aaah!

I agree with you that air india is a dream job for many indian pilots. The job security, perks etc etc are good. But the managment isn't good at all. Air india even makes jet airways look like a well oiled machine. There is way too much influence of indian government in air india.

And i read that Air India was going to join Star alliance but the star website doesn't mention air india as it's member.

Paramount is hiring. But they don't need 500 pilots! Love how the media blows things into outer space!

All you need to do is pay them 25 lakhs upfront for a 170 rating, an a/c which no other outfit in india has ...

“We employ 25 pilots and 30 cabin crew per aircraft. Accordingly the numbers will go up (with the addition in the fleet),” Paramount Managing Director M. Thiagarajan said.
I don't think that even Jet or KF has that many pilots per A/C.....

And they need pilots with india ATPL....So, I think they are expecting 1500 hrs. min as we don't have anything called frozen ATPL...

Airlines will take in Indian freshers very very slowly. and also phase out the expats in an equally slow pace.
Finally,something that makes sense from the Agent..

I think it's better for the overall safety....U just cannot throw the expats out by giving them a deadline..... If all of them go at once, then what, there are not many experienced indian pilots (eventhought there are a lot of freshers ) to take command of the A/C.... U cannot expect the airline to train so many pilots at once to take the command of the A/C.... The airlines were caught off-guard by the rapid growth of aviation sector and they required help which was given to them by EXPATS...

eg. The 777 ops. in jet are maintained by expats.... the people are also appointed by expats..... As the new indian pilots learn from experience the expats will be phased out....

Another political gimmick by the aviation minister..... You can sense elections are near with such reports which do not stand any ground....

MUMBAI: Domestic airlines have geared up for a massive recruitment programme for local pilots after civil aviation minister asked carriers this week to replace their foreign pilots by July 2010. Sensing possible shortage of Indian pilots over the next three quarters, full service carriers such as Jet Airways and Kingfisher Airlines have already sounded out competitors’ pilots.

Jet Airways has nearly 780 Indian and 230 foreign pilots. “We will gradually make Jet Airways a fully Indian-run and the process has already started,” said a senior Jet Airways official.

On the other hand, National Aviation Company of India, which runs the national carrier Air India, will be hiring 40 trainee pilots and co-pilots from Indian citizens. An Air India spokesperson said these fresh pilots will also have to execute performance bond after completion of training . Air India is a national carrier and it keeps hiring pilots at regular intervals , he added.

The main concern is that India doesn’t have enough ‘efficient’ pilots, with the expertise and experience to fly large aircraft like Boeing and Airbus . The industry may see cut-throat hiring from competition, said an analyst with a brokerage firm.

Currently, India has about 1,000 foreign pilots in domestic airlines. In 2005, the government allowed airline operators to hire foreign co-pilots , senior pilots or commanders. Directorate General of Civil Aviation last year said 1,490 foreign pilots were given licences to seek work in the Indian civil aviation sector.

Not only full service carries but lowfare airlines are also hiring pilots. Gurgaon-based no-frill carrier SpiceJet ' plans to hire a dozen more in the current fiscal year.

State carrier Air India, which was overlooked in Monday’s interim Budget, finds itself in a precarious financial situation, whereby it is becoming increasingly difficult for the airline to pay wages to its staff, fulfil lease commitments and aircraft loans

A lot will depend on the policies followed by the managment of different airlines..... KF cannot afford to make another blunder (now after it brought air deccan)....

India’s cash-strapped airlines are looking at raising funds by selling planes, engines and slots at airports and see a huge opportunity in leasing planes to tide over the crunch.

Air India is a good airline, especially if you hvae 250 hours! The only problem, is that you will sit and wait forever before they send you for your training! Great airline once you get in, very stable job. Always + and - for each job, but definately utilized your time on the ground to study up. Check out SmartCockpit dot com.
