Hi!
Sorry. Bad info. The pilot recruiting situation has gotten much more competitive in the last 2 months.
NEW MINIMUMS:
Commercial-MEL
Instrument-Airplane
You will need STRONG instrument skills, or you won't make it through training. Currently you get 5 sims and your checkride.
Had a guy with 1000/500 for the current class that seemed kind of low time, but workable. When USAJet called him, he had been hired in India as an off the street CRJ captain.
$60+K base
Housing provided for his family
Schooling provided for his kids
Much/all of his salary tax free.
India needs about 11,000 airline pilots in the next 3 years. Last year they produced 150 commercial pilots. 1/2 of their pilot training schools closed this year because virtually all of their instructors had been hired by the airlines.
