Is it really true that an OCI with no more that the base requirements of a CPL with multiengine rating and roughly 200 hrs is eligible to work as a F/O?
Where could I find reliable information on this? Is there something issued by the DGCA or any other government organization?
If anyone knows please help. I am eligible for US citizenship and I am not sure if I should take it or not because I want to return to India and work as a pilot.
Thanks,
Kurt

Ans: yes---- You can work in India as a pilot but you have to convert all your licenses to Indian ones. Low time ok for F/O jobs. If you hire as an "Indian" then you have to have Indian credentials.
Ans : No-- You must have 500 hrs PIC in the aircraft the airline is currently flying. Also must be current within past 6 months. Must have ICAO ATP with appropriate type ratings. No need to convert licenses. You fly on ICAO licenses bu have to take a few tests that the airline helps you with as well as a medical.
