All you folks are forgetting the mess created by KFA and to certain extent Deccan air for likes of new CPL holders in terms of getting job.
Believe me if it wasn't for KFA , half of you fighting to prove a point over others in this forum would be mighty busy filling up the logbooks with hours on shiny big jets.

Indigo was happy filling new CPL pilots to make money out of CAE programs same thing was going on in Jet before KFA mess did it in.In biz all that matters is profit over limited resources which our airline's is doing right now.
Plus 2008 financial crisis didn't either help any of our airline's.All those cargo operators too failed to provide any security even after initially taking pilots of various experience levels.

Aviation in India was always Rich Man's game and it will be.Everything in life will cost you irrespective of level or non level playing field.
Airlines didnt asked us to go for training to get jobs in their backyard , when they did asked those to go for training most of them got jobs just coz airlines asked them( kindly put off notion of KFA cadets from this ).
Inducting planes doesn't actually means more jobs as many new planes are meant to be replacements for older ones.So banking on plane orders is totally waste of future planning.

Aviation was/is/will always remain high beta market where uncertainty is more.Before going for training if a person had actually given a thought about various negative aspects of being a pilot in India then many would accept this " Hue n Cry " for jobs wouldn't not be in first place.Become pilot in 6 months and earn 24 lakhs is main reason why many without aviation background took plunge and are now finding it hard to survive without a job.
In life nothing comes with guarantee so why would any CPL holder think he deserves right to get a job over others ?


With limited number of recruitment , deserving candidates are finding jobs.Those with jacks and money are roaming or trolling without any success.Having pilot parents or relatives have NO meaning in today's world.
Son's and kin's of pilots are struggling hard even getting rated because they were never good in first place.


Adios !!
