Expat F/O’s in India:
I’ve heard from one of the many horses mouths that the Indian DGCA along with the Ministry of Home Affairs is evaluating lifting the block for foreign expat F/O’s so much so, that they have stipulated what the forecasted minimum requirements will be and the projected allowance date sometime in May or June 2006.
I don’t mean to throw a spanner into the works here with the previous responses but thought I’d let you know what I’ve heard, regardless of the countries possible ability to sustain its own needs.
