Hello!
I've read in the last Orient Aviation Mag that according to Indian laws, it is compelled to have at least one Indian flight crew in the cockpit.
I understand: either Indian F/O and foreign Capt or foreign F/O and Indian Capt. This is different from no foreign F/O allowed.
Do you know which version is true?
No Foreign FOs...at all.
One pilot must be Indian; could be Capt or TRI / TRE. for eg if TRI is foreign then the Capt must be Indian and vise versa
Only type rated with 500hrs as PIC & TRI; TRE can get jobs in India.
Indian govt keeps the right to place its own citizens as FO before it allows intl' FOs to take local jobs.
Kingfisher is trying to change ths law..it will never happen.
If an Indian applied to LH he would not get a job, same goes for the local German kid who applies to Jet airways/ Kingfisher etc ect
