Air India losing widebody pilots to ME3?
https://www.airnation.com/blog/airli...-boeing-planes
Looks like Air India is hiring local 737 pilots for widebody FO positions to cover for serious under-staffing.
Which of the ME3 are hiring the most from India? I imagine previous 777 or 787 time at AI is valued............

Lot of confusing news
1) Could be an issue of too many Captains and too few FOs. Merger related side effect.
2) Accelerated natural attrition, heard in three years a significant percentage of employees will retire.
3) Hiring freeze for a decade because of its financial situation
4) Combination of stricter FDTL rules and unions will never allow airline to roster even up to legal limits.
Read only two wide body pilots out of 600+ worked over 480 hrs in last six months. I doubt any one would survive roasters here.
Mainline started hiring on contract, not sure about expats.
