That's highly entertaining. :laugh:

But, it looks more like a management shortage than a pilot shortage ?

Who would take that job when you could make more money flying a turboprop in Japan?

The reality of the market is that companies with substandard offers to expat pilots won't get any applicants

Like DP said, I think a lot of airlines has to drastically increase their pay to attract pilots and in particular expats. I see some of the postings for contract jobs around the world and pay is failing woefully short.

Is this just business as usual in India and therefore not really news or is it something new(ish) ?:
