Hi Sunny

Well, as I said, I dont speak for the company and HR. But the way I have seen it, every company will have a group of core staff/crew. In Asian Airlines, this group of core crew will likely be locals, and then they will be a group of non-core crew, which are on short term contracts (say 5 years) and usually are expats (more expensive). In bad times, the expensive crew will usually be high on the list of those being laid off. While potential Indian cadets will not be on expat terms, HR managers will likely to factor the fact that you have higher mobility in future in planning their future crew needs. Its not a matter of whether its fair or not to say whether u will move after the bond, but in aviation, where training a pilot takes 2-3 years, such things have to be considered.
