Hi aviationluver!

Likely you have the OCI visa, like me, and want to fly in India. Just so you know I grew my in Queens-NY, lived there 32 years, and left 10.5 yeas ago for Asia, not to return except to visit family, etc

Sporadically, if you have jet time, 500 hours on Type, then you have a good chance, it won't happen instantly, but within Asia there will always be opportunities.

As for India, unless you know someone, or otherwise connected, or are willing to risk a few years salary upfront for a job that may lay you off 6 months latter, stay out of India.

Not sure if you speak Hindi / Tamil but you will be resented and unappreciated as there are many many many Indian Citizens, born and raised, that are fighting hard as hell for the exact same position.

Unlike you they will not have other options, many will fade away into other professions.

Good luck!
