Questions to the unemployed pilots in India

[estranged soul]

A380 jockey ... where I did all my training (private to ATP), we call it a pilot CERTIFICATE. License, CPL, ATPL etc are the terms used in JAA countries I
believe.

@ A380 Jockey - really IndiGo is gonna hire in just about two weeks?
would they consider type rated on A320?
and you have any clue when kingfisher would be coming up with vacancies?

[vserian]

I also heard that Indigo is going to hire soon, but they would probably ask you to pay for the A320 course

Indigo will be hiring in April 2011, the Shortlisting of candidates from the Dec 2010 exam is still going on. It will be nice if you guys mail in your cv to Indigo after the 1st week of Feb, the HR will be done with the current recruitment drive by then.

Do not loose hope and keep yourself current with knowledge and skills, as 2011-12 seems to be the next peak for pilot recruitments in india.

settled in life at 22.

My consolations.

@IAC_Pilot

yes dude, I know pilots who are settled at a young age while their friend are either at unis or unemployed like me, infact I know a AI 777 pilot, just 23 years old got married few months back to a 21 year old girl who still studying at unis, her parents gave her to him cause they dont want to lose this "high salary earner"

Some are lucky dude...some like me are not

[vserian]

@vdaff

You actually think getting married at 23 is a lucky thing?

[Aviator4u]

@vserian
haha...good point...from your last post,I can very well make out that you are married...

[vdaff]

i do belive that someone is really lucky to get settled in life in that age

[josh121.5]

@vdaff : gettiing married at 23 ,u call that getting settled in life ? i call it SUICIDE !

[smurf84]

vdaff....I think you've got to get a grip of yourself, dude. You're on depression mode in all the threads. It isn't doing any good to the other pilots here.

[issues]

vdaff - take it easy, if you're in it for the right reason, you're time will come, just hold on !

[captjns]

First of all, let’s face it VDAFF... you should also state that it was your mom and dad that provided the $50,000 to fund your ratings.

Perhaps, you should have followed the examples of your mates and acquired college degree before, hitting your folks up for money for your flight training.

Face it VDAFF, there are far more qualified pilots, with college degrees, than positions available. With that being said, the market much too competitive. Carriers, not only in India, but round the world are will hire pilots not only with flight time, but those with the highest level of education.

So stop the whining, make your mom and dad proud… go out and get that college degree. At 22 you are still young enough. Airlines will still be around in 3 or 4 years. You never know, you may find another field to embark upon and pay your folks back the money for the flying lessons.

How much of the 50 thousand went in bribes I wonder ?
