Who do you think a potential employer would give preference to, a guy who prostituted himself in foreign land and has 5 times more flying hours than you or some one who has absolutely no idea about flying an airplane other than in a controlled training enviornment??

Well, jimmygill has already replied to that.

But let me add a few more points....

First off, such a naive question only exposes your sheer ignorance about the job scene for a fresher/low time pilot job applicant in India.
Forget 5 times my flying experience buddy, you may have 10 times the experience on multi engine aircraft and an ATPL, YET, you will be placed in the VERY SAME CATEGORY along with all the other thousands of CPL holders with 200 hours whenever any airline starts hiring here.
You may have an MS, MBA, Phd etc, but that will make absolutely NO DIFFERENCE. You will still be called for tests or interviews and other assessments along with all the other thousands of 200 hour guys and girls with a CPL and a high school certificate.
This is the hard fact and there's absolutely NOTHING you can do about it, unless of course you are a big shot with a father or uncle or other close friend who is a powerful politician, a big bureaucrat, or someone high up in the hierarchy of the airline management.


Its pretty easy to sit in front of your computer and moan about not getting a job on the RHS of Airbus or boeing. Ehhh!you people will never learn..
The same way it is so easy for people to write BS like you have done without doing any kind of homework or study on the realities of the place and geographic location you're talking about.

and by the way, Assuming you're from one of the western nations who are all for prostituting themselves in the name of "working the long hard and tough way up", ... it is exactly because of the likes of you that the whole profession and the industry is in such a mess particularly in the USA and much of the western world.

It is very easy to moan about degrading T&c's, exploitation by bean counters, PFJ schemes, pilots getting shafted, etc etc on pprune and other forums.

If only there was a serious effort against outfits like eaglejet (USA) etc. and the whole concept of PFJ or P2F etc, with a strong move to bring about a legislation against the whole thing, many of the pilots crying out in forums now would never have seen such pathetic state of affiars.

If the salaries of Captains, TRI's, TRE's on wide body a/c in the USA etc are comparable to those of walmart employees with laughable t&c's, it is only because of pilots who prostitute themselves and bring down the standards of this profession.
