There's plenty of Indian pilots overseas (FO capacity) , all willing to fly in India but are faced with the dreadful conversion.
It still takes over 6 months to convert a CPL. ATPL maybe a bit quicker for the swim is not with many people in the pool.
Is it posiible for the operator's to recruit Indian's on an expat basis which'll allow them to fly with a neighbouring issued licence and qual's ?
Is DGCA going to do anything about getting real with this conversion business and retune the bearuecracy to fit the current World ? Still a lot of hocus pocus going on behind the doors too !! to get all this done quickly (hmmmmm.....)
ATR's grounded by Jet and a lot of Corp's (KingAir's, Biz Jets and such) due shortage of crew is a bit sad really. Are these private org's allowed to recruit expats for their Biz machines on the contract basis ?! If so they won't hanve much trouble getting drivers from neighbouring countries...for the right price ofcourse and with proper advertisement in the appropriate local media.
On the otherhand it seems a bit naughty on the operators for siphoning crew among each other aey'. Hmmm, could be the crew themself leaving for the grass on the other side.
My two cents worth... or was it paise worth
BTW..... my vote for an Indian Forum. Let the Games Begin !!
Does Proxy Voting count aswell
