Shortage of Pillots in India

India needs about three thousand pilots in the next five years. Our flying clubs will nopt be able to produce even 1/5th of that number. There is lack of aircraft and a shortage of Chief Flying Instructors. Most of the CFIs have left for the greener pastures of airlines. So a whole lot of flying clubs are at total 'freeze'. Some flying clubs are flying indigenous 'Pushpak' trainer which is over 50 years old.

Keep applying to various airlines. My guess is that even if you have about 1000 hours, shortly you will be welcomed into India for along tenure.

Cheers
