Oh i didnt no that.. but if i were in your shoes.. may be i would go for the 320 or 737
Why?
Because this is what most of the Indian Operators fly. Prospects are better. I would not get an rating on an aircraft for an airline which asks me to pay 25 laks for type and another airline whose aircraft are yet to reach india. So almost the prospect of getting hired is next to 10%.
If you can get an SIC Rating on B738 which is relatively cheaper than ERJ170.
You have a chance of getting hired by Air India Express Immedeately.
