Jobs for you in India

Indonep:

I do not mean to discourage you from following your dream; however, with only 230 hours there is a whole lot you will need to learn. That said every Captain flying today once had 230 hours.

I am assuming you are an Indian National from the things you said (“learnt,” “railway stations in India,” “license conversion process in India,” etc.) As a result you have excellent avenues available to you; avenues others only dream about.

There are tens of articles that explain the need for pilots in your home country. Your federal government has publicly chased airline CEOs for internal airline problems. Anyway, I have enclosed a few addresses for you from airlines desperate for pilots in your native India.

*Kingfisher Airlines: http://www.flykingfisher.com/exp_crew.asp?id=30 While their trainees start on the ATR that is a good airplane for a new pilot. They Currently have 30 320s & ATR aircraft but have ordered 160+ aircraft including A-330s, 340s, 350s and 5 A-380s.

Jet Airways: http://www.jetairways.com/MSIB21/Tem...ACHEHINT=Guest
Currently they have 55 aircraft ranging from ATRs to B-777 & A-340s. They have 72 aircraft on order including 20 B-787s.

Indigo Airlines:
http://book.goindigo.in/skylights/cg...ghts.cgi#pilot They have 11 A-320s with 89 on order.

*Air Deccan: http://www.flyairdeccan.net/Careers.htm They have 30 aircraft with 21 on order.

*SpiceJet Airlines: http://www.spicejet.com/pilotprogram.asp or http://www.spicejet.com/careers.asp They have 11 737-800 with 14 on order. Seriously looking for pilots!

*Indian Airlines: http://indian-airlines.nic.in/script...TP_wb_2007.htm They have 74 aircraft with 39 319/320 on order.

*Air India: http://www.airindia.com/page.asp?pageid=9 They have 45 aircraft mainly B-747 & B-777 but have orders for 67 aircraft ranging from 737-800s to triple 7s and dreamliners. They have a dedicated cadet program.

Air Sahara: http://www.airsahara.net/s2v1/AboutUs/careers.aspx?id=5 They have 27 aircraft with 4 on order. They also have a helicopter division with 4 helicopters.

*Go Airlines: http://www.goair.in/co-pilot.asp They have 10 A-320 with 20 on order.

*Paramount Airways: http://www.paramountairways.com/careers.html 5 aircraft with an order for 40 additional.

* Indicates a dedicated cadet or second officer program. You will notice that while some of these airlines do not directly say they have a cadet or second officer program you will see phrases like: “For A-320 A minimum of 25 hrs on ME aircraft (of which 10 hrs could be on an approved ME simulator) is mandatory. Also Currency of ME Instrument Rating is necessary at the time of joining for A-320. For ATR Preference will be given to ME endorsement holders.” From Air Deccan.

Guys, 25 hours ME is an inexperienced pilot or a 2nd Officer/Cadet Pilot!

This is just a start but you will have a very easy time getting out of the train station and into a cockpit in your country.

Burners & Out.
