Hi Salman,
The other thing is, being a pakistani, will there be any discriminations in the europian or american aviation industries for me?
I do not know the system pakistan employs but if you want to fly in Europe you will need JAA licenses and in the USA you will need FAA licenses. I don't think for a second you will be discriminated against if you are eligable for employment in Europe or the USA why do you think you would be?
The other thing is the fear that being 28 years old and after the completion of the course, i shall be having only 200 hours at my disposal
This is the same for us JAA boys but it is possible to get a job with these hours in Europe although paying for a type rating seems to be the norm these days
Will i be competitive enough to meet this professional challenge being 28 years old (although medically fit)?
Only you can answer that m8! Positive thinking all the way and never give up!
Though i know the eligibility criteria and certain other professional requirements for CPL, but i am quite ignorant of the exact INSIDE of the aviation industry and the future of those who join it or are joining it. Please, with due respect, i ask you to please guide me if i should really step into doing CPL and taking it up as career and full time profession, by telling me those things that you command being an active member of the aviators community.
Well pprune is a good place to start educating yourself. Reading aviation magazines and sites such as flight international will help you loads.
I thank you, and seek that help what i feel sorry i couldn't get from a pakistani flying professional or school.
Have you got a ppl or are you a noob like me?
by the way india is expanding like crazy and kingfisher is looking for many pilots, perhaps you should look into that!
good luck
