As a part of cost cutting several Indian airlines are on role to fire highly paid foreign pilots, which would lead them to fight the rising prices and the ongoing recession. About 950 foreign pilots, 810 commanders and approximately 140 co-pilots, working in nearly all the Indian airlines, are the first one to become the casualties of the cost cutting exercise adopted by the Indian airline industry.
Initially, airlines were allowed to hire co-pilots only until 30 May 2008 and senior pilots or commanders until July 2010. Virtually every airline - IA, Air Deccan, Kingfisher Airlines, Jet Airways and Spice Jet among others - had employed pilots from the different countries such as: US, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Egypt, Columbia, Romania, France and Denmark.
