OP, I’d be amazed if there wasn’t a more Indian focused forum out there for pilots, one with the critical mass of users to answer you. Might be worth a bit of Googling to find one.
Having looked around a bit, I can't find any India-centric pilot forums out there.
That being said, I've come across a couple Youtube channels run by Indian pilots and apparently the pay classes are:
-$1500 during initial line training
-$2500 as a junior first officer
-$5000 as a senior first officer
-$8500 as a captain
All figures are in USD, and per month, with variations of about
±$1000.
On average you can expect to do 70 hours per month in India (short haul) but I'm not sure how that translates into duty hours/days. There's also no information on rosters/scheduling.
Thoughts on pay? How does it compare to elsewhere?
