India Age 60 rule info
I just heard that the DGCA in India is now not allowing anyone over 60 to operate here if their home country does not allow them to fly over 60.
Guys already here are ok but new guys are not going to be allowed.
So US guys are affected. Many are going to other countries and getting licenses there and then applying (Australia).

Latest is that 60+ Jet Airways are on their way to Canada to convert US ATPL to Canadian ATPL. Current US First Class physical which can be submitted to Canada MOT or Canadian First Class physical (there are MOT-approved examiners in the US). required, then must take written Air Law test (20 questions), pay $100, and receive license plus FAA type-ratings. No simulator or flight test required. Air India applicants doing the same. Total estimated cost for license fees, physical (if needed), airfare and hotel to take exam in Canada about $1500 USD. DGCA exam and certification of (Canadian) ATPL still a requirement.

I hope to go to India in November. (I am 60 in October) so I am following these events carefully. Any other information appreciated.
