I really doubt the statement made 'by 2013 Indian fresh cpl holders may be unemployed' That will never happen, any fresh/experienced CPL, if he/she is good enough, will land a job, its those who are in this for the money, will be left jobless.
This is taking place even now, when we see 1000 pilots running for a walkin of 10-20 positions, and this case is not unique to aviation alone, for example if we see the IT field its even worse, the employability ratio in IT is a measly 1-2 %. For every 1 million resumes the IT bellweather Infosys recieves, only about 10-15000 are screened to the next level, i.e. call for an interview.
We cant help it, In India for any opening which pays relatively well people are bound to rush in, if we see the profiles of the people who have rushed into training, we see moneyed 'jats' from haryana who cant string proper sentences in english, wouldnt be able to spell names, flying in USA. There are 18 year old girls who puke in the cockpit on their first flight!, ive seen inquiries on the web with the title ' sir i want to be pilet!!!'
now how ever can these folks land jobs??

desire with discipline......might get u in......
Hi Apache,
This really is funny: sir i want to be pilet
Well i agree: In any field desire without discipline is DANGEROUS!!
Just by saying things about passion is not enough.
But regarding what DGCA has done is surely not going to be a smooth trasition for indian aspirants.
WHY? Because most of the airlines have already got a good bench (Sorry for using this IT related term - it means resources
).
And BTW non science students are also getting ready to pack their bags. Bit by the FLYING bug??
Regards

If all airlines do have a good bench strength, then the really passionate new pilots would work as FI, GA jobs, wont they? If one is passionate about flying, then he/she should find 'flying' opportunities, and not 'airline jobs'. BTW the Indian Coast Guard and Indian Navy have advertised calling CPL holders to join them on short service commission...

Long term work - India
Does anyone know please the situation for working long term in India on a FATA & work-visa? I am already here working & prospects appear excellent for a rotory pilot. I have met a lady here & enquiring about the longer term visa & work permits, having long term secure work here will be no problems in the rotory field. Is it true that either 2010 or 4 years is the maximum period for a work permit? Can this be extended? What might the work permits be if marrying an Indian lady? Thank for your help. Cheers

don't worry about the DGCA and the 2010 dead line. they have a habit of coming up with stupid rules, but there are always work arounds.
the demand for rotor pilots is here to stay.
