I have been applying to several airlines in India for the last 6-8 months, eventhough I'm just a college student and a flight instructor with low flight time. I finally recieved an e-mail from Air deccan Chief Pilot few weeks ago stating that
"At the outset thank you for sending your CV to us. However, we still are
waiting for approval to hire foreign co-pilots. Once the approval is
available we will get back to you".
I thought Indian carriers got approved by the government to hire first officers,,,

I'm confused.
I still haven't heard anything yet and I have been trying to call them, but no luck so far.

I'm planing to send my CV again when I break the 1000 hours.
Good luck guys
