The desperate need of pilots which was there in India between 2003-2008 that ended up getting a lot of experienced expats on the LHS and a lot of Newbies with 200 hrs on the RHS.
But a handful of them ended up committing fraud - now the entire pilot community in India has to pay for it.
Majority of Indian pilots have gone to countries like USA , AUS , CAN to get their CPL's and the standards of aviation training are good in these countries, and a Handful went to Philippines
as well.
But If CX did plan to recruit in India , they will surely end up with some keen , intelligent and skilled pilots.
And if they are really really desperate for Pilots they should reduce the "Application - to - Stage 1" Wait times from 6 months .. to maybe 1 Month.
