...said "But at the end of the day expat flying is not for everyone.
The south of India where the Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal mix is quite nice. Lots of tourist from Europe flock there.Excellent sea food in abundance and quite safe to eat. The North in the mountains is beautiful too for hiking. The air is pure too.If one has been to and lived in India, then perhaps one has the right to make comment as one deems appropriate."
Your friends just forgot to tell you that they work their butts off 6 days on ,1 day off, out of bad airports, with a terrible ATC (everybody, even the locals, use the 'say again' all the time), lots of traffic congestion, in the air and on the ground, smelly, poluted cities.
No time to enjoy any of the nice things mentioned, trust me. You just crash at the hotel, nothing really high standard by the way.
After 8 weeks away from anything that resembles your home country you're just thinking about give up (lots of resignations every month, after tasting the 'Indian adventure")
It's hard, very hard work. Go only in case you need it desperately. Or running from an evil ex wife.
Before that, consider anything at your home country.
