so that means that if the aviation situation is bad in India at the moment then it can change drastically in the positive within two years !!! 
or may be not if the govt. & our (not so)good old DGCA just stick to their worthless schemes

...or maybe you could learn how to fly an aeroplane, not EXPECT a job to be handed to you, go out and get some EXPERIENCE on a C210, light twin, etc and EARN a job when the economy (aviation sector) recovers.
Dunno, just a thought.
Just think! With more experience than the flying school's C152 and over 200 hrs TT from charter ops, instructing, mail runs, etc, etc you would be considered a veteran by the time you sit in the A310, 73NG, A320 (or 777 as they are flying now with < 200 hrs TT!).
("When I was a boy" we learnt to fly because of a passion, not depending on the stock market. Consider your motiviation young fellow.)

i think currently there is a provision for the unemployed cpl holders to apply in the Air Force.
they need to appear in an aptitude test (PABT) & then followed by a series of interviews , physical tests, etc. before making it to their training which is of probably 6 months duration!!!

may be the indian coast guard also employs them
but one day i read in a newspaper last year.
It was an advertisement regarding Short Service Commission(10 years minimum & 14 years maximum) in the Indian Air Force.
The eligibilty crireria included that cpl holders who are 24 years old or less can also apply.

Coast Guard
Coast Guard flies only the Do 228 [They have 24 of the type]. So i am guessing that is the aircraft you would be flying.
In Rotary wing, they operate Alouette III choppers.[and recently inducted the ALH "Dhruv"]

i have a bit of confusion!!
some newspapers are claiming that the Air France aircraft fell due to lightining.
But what we have studied is (since i am an electrical engineering student) that as long as a body is not in contact with the ground no amount of electricity can harm the object.
So how can the lightning cause the aircraft to fall??

All modern jet liners are designed in such a way that lightning strikes can not harm them. (the aircraft body). but that does not mean that lightning can not spoil/damage the aircraft's vital systems.
That plus severe turbulence owing to thunderstorms has also been reported to be likely causes.
Again .. all are speculations.
And yes, this is not the forum to discuss this topic. Please see the Tech or flight deck forums.

Helicopter boom!
Is it real that India going to face Helicopter boom by 2010?
Is it worth investing in Helicopter CPL over Fixed wing by the time and later move to fixed wing, when airlines re-boot?
What about the salaries in chopper flying? Is it remunerative enough to re-pay the debt of Rs: 40 lakhs loan for training, as professional chopper license comes around this rate?
anyone who have got insight! Kindly fill in your thoughts,
Thank you in advance,
RG
