A recent advertisement issued by IndiGo, India’s largest private carrier, looking to hire commanders and senior pilots from South Amercia and West Asia, has got its existing pilot community up in arms.
The pilots say the salary, benefits and the choice of bases being offered to the foreign recruits are better than what they get. The advertisement promises the expat pilots a salary of $12,003 a month, overtime of $3,500 a month and an annual bonus of $7,000.
Currently, IndiGo has around 54 expats among its 1,220-odd captains for its fleet of 153 A320s, including the 35 A320Neos.
