AI needs 100 new pilots every year
Under the special pilot training scheme launched by Air India, courses at flying schools abroad will last from six months to a year, after which the trainees would get a licence.
AI would then train them on its simulators before allowing them to fly as co-pilots in the medium-sized Boeing 737-800s and A-310s. With more flying experience, these pilots would make the transition to bigger aircraft.
Airline experts say the existing pool of CPL holders has been lapped up and now airlines have to look at foreign pilots to meet the demand.
AI alone will 100 new pilots every year for the next seven years. After the merger of Air India and Indian Airlines, the mega national carrier's requirement would be much more.
"The monthly salary for pilots is between $6,500 and $12,000," said a senior official.
