EK all the way (or maybe EY or GF)
 

For those who feel they might be laid off any time soon, perhaps they should start looking eastwards before the stampede starts from the US.

Airlines in the middle east are still hiring and growing and their need for pilots still seems to be there, even amongst the smaller players. The biz-jet market is booming and in UAE especially there are dozens of outfits to apply to even if you exclude EY/EK.

CEO's of majors incl NW, Singapore and BA, at the recent IATA conference in IST have all said that there has never been a more uncertain time in global aviation and one has said that the conditions are right for a 'perfect storm'

Let's hope they're all wrong..

BOM Base????
 

The DGCA wants Indian Pilots in the Cockpit, not Expats. The Validation will be difficult to get especially for F´/O´s now. 31.July 2010 no Expat in India is the plan....

Fly safe and land happy
