It would be very helpful to know from those presently employed in India whether or not the change to an age 65 retirement age is to be applyed to the Ex-Patriot Pilots?

Thanks,

Thats the idea of the DGCA to get retired xpat pilots to fill the shortage in India. Besides start up airlines get Sr. Capts at a lower cost.

The age limit applies to all commercial pilots, Indian or expat.

Thank for the replies, anyone know who has the best deal right now? Both on $$ and on accomodation?

Jet airways is the only airline hiring on quality and not on price.
