@ Cyril ..,
How are you bud...??
Great post, very informative as usual..
@ the Original Poster or anyone in fact....
If you have the right to work in the United States & you have ATP minimums, basically > 1500 hrs TT & 25 hrs multi, you can basically walk into
ANY regional of your choice, which is operating CRJ 700/900 or Emb170/175..
You will be wecolmed with open arms, in fact multiple airline recruiters will be hounding you to join them..
They will pay you $10,000 to $15,000 US Dollars as joining bonus and ask you what is your availability or preferred joining date... The interview will be like let's grab a coffee or something & talk...
YEAH.....
After About 3 months of training & about a One year or so on the line & 1000 hrs in 121 (Airline) environment, you can choose to either upgrade to a Captain or move on to something like Frontier or Spirit flying Airbus 320..
Then you can choose to stay there or keep trying for a Legacy like United Delta or American..
Why deal with DGCA...????? Unless you have a fascination for India.
