Thankyou so much for this report - it has finally laid to rest any lingering ideas I had about working in India .
I am over 60 , looking for a job that involves a lot more time off before I finally close the hangar doors. There is one offering 2 months on 1 month off but that is the only good thing . Pay not wonderful , hotel / accom a bit dodgy , and so on . This whole medical thing is the final straw .
Korean have been anal about medicals for years and routinely fail expats who have held a Class 1 Jar / FAA medical their whole careers ( They are chronically short of pilots and will remain so ) If China and India go down this route then their pilot-shortage problems are only just beginning.
