Fresh CPL holders don't have an outside chance of getting hired by airlines here. Every single airline in India has been asking for type rated pilots even as trainees and as F/O's they need an additional 500 hrs on type.

The supply is just more than the demand. This cycle has not changed for years and at the rate airlines are closing down or making losses, the trend is likely to continue.

As for Indigo & Go Air drivers moving to AI? Seems very unlikely, specially with the salary cuts orders.
