Go West Young Man (and old)

...to India
Still screaming out for crews and it isn't at full swing yet!

In January, Air India issued a tender for 20 777 captains, six 747 captains, 40 737 captains and nine A310 captains.

The spokesman says the airline has successfully recruited some foreign pilots and has 30 to 40 but it has failed to get all the captains it requires.

Air India also needs to increase its pilot workforce because in November it takes delivery of the first of 18 Boeing 737-800s on order and in February next year it gets the first of 23 Boeing 777s it has on order.


Pornstars' not the only option.
Plenty of "Bunsen Burner" jobs to go'round.
Happy Landings

Unless things have changed, only captains with at least 500 hours in command on type will be considered.

No expat FOs.

Not true, Air India are (very) actively pursuing B737NG FOs. Not convinced I would go that far for a RH seat though.

Yeh... know a couple who have gone there recently.
TRI/TRE though and on huge money.
Interesting article on Flight International website regarding India being a bottle-neck, with such growth and ground services unable to keep up (ie airport space etc)
Happy Landings
