The real situation regarding pilot recruitments and numbers ??

Hi all,

Media reports as we all know are factually inaccurate when it comes to reporting about jobs, vacancies, expats etc.

I have a request ..

Can currently employed pilots please share some views and info regarding the situation in Jet Airways, Kingfisher Airlines, Indigo, Go Air and other airlines in India regarding the pilot workforce ?

I understand a lot of cadets/trainees have been hired by a few airlines like Indigo, Kingfisher etc .. most of whom have been put on hold for the time being.

I would really appreciate if someone can share accurate figures.
Please list out the airline, fleet and the status of hiring.

For example :

ABC Airways --> B737NG : Captains (Hiring)
First Officers (Trainees already selected and put on hold)
ATR : Hiring, Indians/expats with XX hours total time etc etc
A320 : Captains : Not hiring, Furlough etc

B777 ---> Hiring (Indians/Expats with X no. of hours TT, Y no. of hours on type etc etc.)


If you can provide numbers as well, even better.

This is just so that freshers and aspirants can get a realistic picture of the present rather than whats being printed in news papers and other advertisements.

Appreciate your help and patience !!
