First Officer positions in India
Im wondering if I've got certian options open to me, maybe some of you guys might be able to point me in the right direction.
I'm a British Citizen, but of Indian origin and hold a PIO card which I believe entitles me to gain employment in India.
Im a 1000 hour flight instructor in the UK, I also hold an FAA CPL MEIR.
Would I be a likley candidate for an Airline in India to want to take me on, put me through a type rating and hire me as a First Officer?
Also when converting to the DGCA license, I read one of the requirements is 10+2 education in maths and physics. I know I've got the UK equivlent of the 10, ie 10 years in high school with GSCE / O level passes. But the 2 years in Maths and physics afterwards which I think are equivalent to 2 A-levels, I don't have.
What I have got is the JAA CPL written exams, which the hours in the full time course are equivalent to A-levels, and the CAA think is of a higher difficulty level than A-levels. But no one seems to know how to get that compared to academic qualifications since those exams are not for any other reason than to fill a requirement for a license.
Any advice from you guys with the knowledge would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
