Hi!

As of 2 months ago, India needed 11,000 airline pilots in the next 3 years. In 2006 they trained 150 in India. Also, the flight schools in India are in trouble as many of their Flight Instructors are leaving for airline jobs, with no replacements available. We (US small airline) were recruiting a 1000TT guy, who got an DEC CRJ job in India paying $100K USD per year.

China needs 9000 in the next 3 years. They currently train 1000/year.
