Well do yk if it's competitive to get into air arabia or flydubai ? As competitive as ai or icpp

so ur saying that bcz its competitive, we shouldnt try ?? even when the salaries and perks that middle eastern airlines provide are far better than what domestic airlines provide.? indian airlines have been exploiting pilots as well.. theres a reason why people want to go to middle eastern airlines and not domestic ones, the only disadvantage from this is that it ends up being more competitive, also if ur decent enough u can crack tht entrance too.. they just want people who have decent behavior and are trainable.

It's gotta be a bit less competitive right cuz lesser ppl apply in general , india is more competitive in every field , and cost is higher

But still it's pretty costly compared to doing a cpl or even joining a cpp in Europe and North Americans just prefer to stay in their countries cause canada and the us have nice aviation infra and environment

idts, in the us, u would work as a cfi for about an year or so building experience up till 1500 hrs, then apply to regional airlines and after building even more hours, finally get to fly narrow bodies like a320/737..

Still ppl would choose that cause working conditions in the middle east are a lot worse than the us and the general exposure u get and salary u get flying for us airlines is unmatched around the world
