Ex-pat FO's cannot be taken on by Indian airlines due to DGAC and Indian Employment law. You must be an Indian passport holder to have a chance.

There are companies in India advertising for FO's (through agencies as well), however this will NOT happen. There is carnage in India at the moment due to Jet Airways having advertised for ex-pat FO's without the Transport Ministers approval (he was 'considering' the issue). Now, because of that if he gives approval, then he will be accuse of pandering to Jet Airways wants, which Air India and Indian Airlines would go berserk about. It is going to be at least two years bfore the 'furore' dies down enough so that he can then permit ex-pat FO's. Until then, Captains only!
