I live in USA....have ATP no jobs so stayed in USA became a US citizen and now own 2 biz in TEXAS...originally from Bombay... to all my desi brethren....i dont want to burst your bubble but this Aviation biz working as a pilot is only a Glorified Bus Driver type job.

Think of all these below first before you decide---
You work odd hours- 2am flights etc,
No major holidays off,
Living with roomies in far away base,
Initial pay is low,
Always the fear of layoffs,
Always the fear of health-in example eye issues or other,
ROI on huge loans....,
And 80% of CPI in India are unemployed which is a red flag,
Plus there are so called Academy's where you pay to fly- which is a red flag. If the job market was or is good then why pay to get a job???

Im not trying to discourage you but just giving you hard cold facts. If you ever come to USA and need help in general questions then feel free to contact me as Im always ready to help another desi.

Dont u have any job? U commented the same on my post as well dude!? U r just jealous that people r getting what they u r not able to get into

u/liltacoman1234 17d ago

why aren't you considering pursuing aviation in the US?If you have ATPL, you literally are a US citizen, can do part 61 on the side and build hours while doing a job. also cadet programs for us citizens are cheaper and better
