never mind the airline
just worry or pay atention to the package you get
how much money!!!!, ON & OFF weeks, return tickets home
licence renewal paid, hotel, & or good housing allow.
the rest its all the same, flying, technique blablabla
the rest of india, an airline wont change
its all dirt, sand, veggy food, nothing much to do
oh........................and cricket

AIRJAE,

I think you should get an A320 type...very advantageous....mins are dropping everywhere and you'll definitely get a job with those times you have. Go to simcenter in Miami....best place for the A320 type. Tell them I sent you and you'll get a discount.

Actually, i'd be quite interested in knowing about Indian airlines/pilots and their work experiences/pay etc...

Indian airlines are usually one of the more discreet areas in Airline talk.

So any info?

Truly Indian

Indian Airlines,now called Indian,and soon to be called Air Indian!--- true to its name,is the only Airline in India which does not hire expats.
They have had a major induction of local F/Os and command upgrade programme going for the last 3 to 4 years.
But goodluck with the other operators!
Happy Landings
