Hi all...
I'm working with local airline in Indonesia.
My airline has 3 foreign pilots from abroad, their jobs are to help our local instructors.
I've a friend from Indonesian DGCA, and he told me, that for protect the local pilots , only pilots who has "instructor qualification" can works in Indonesia.
But I've a friend too who told me, that batavia is going to US, to find pilots for their aircraft.( with some pilots job fair)
The facts are, Indonesia right now need pilots very bad, but........we can only pays very low. ( Air Asia Indonesia rise their pilot salary up to $7000/month, but you 've to fly 90 hours). that's take home pay.
If Indonesian DGCA change their policy, it's good for us the local pilots, cause can drag the salary up to regional bases .( hope for that).
Best regards from Indonesia..
