I've been speaking to a few folks recently who've given me statistics for the aviation industry in India. Shortly followed by "1/3 pilots in India are expats" and that "the money is a lot better than UK/US" - and it's tax free.
Well, after hearing all this it has got me thinking. My credentials are as follows:
1550TT, 350 Multi, 250 Jet, Current US (121) EMB-145 First Officer, I have a little Citation I/II SIC time. I have a UK Passport. I DO NOT have a JAA or DGCA ticket.
Based on all this information, would an airline in India be willing to pick up this expat? I'd be very willing to take a position offered to me over there, and with all good that I've heard, I'd leave the US industry in a heartbeat.
Could someone please advise me of airlines (names please) that I should contact. Some of the airline websites I've visited have been a little vague about the expat procedure (if one exists).
Thanks.
