1. I am not sure about all the questions but i know about question #4. i am also indian and i'm pretty sure you can get a job if you bribe employers in india.
2. If you really want to become a professional aviator, believe that you can do it. It may cost money, but I'm sure you would be able to get it somehow.
3. Q.3 - yes, it's very expensive, I don't know about in India, but here in the US, the industry goes up and down. It's not so easy to get a job as a commercial pilot right now. Q.5 - A lot of jobless pilots around right now. Due to the slow economy globally. This is a bad time to go into that when there are a lot of airline pilots being laid off from major airlines. They need jobs, so they will take lesser jobs with the smaller airlines that we would be going after.
4. A.1 Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi is one of the best and oldest flying academy in india. It is govt owned and if scholarships is also available for a few lucky ones. Bombay flying club is also good one if you live in Mumbai. In Hyderabad Flytech Aviation Academy. A.2 Education loans were available for pilot training in 2006-2008, but now since the industry has collapsed there is very little to no chance for educational loans . A3. Job prospects are very bleak as during 2006-2008 boom time many thousands of people went abroad for pilot training but by the time they completed their training recession started and they are still unemployed. A4. Yes, during these times of recession even by chance there are vacancies for copilots there will be jack/approach/BRIBE A5. Hundreds and maybe thousands of CPL holders are jobless. http://how-to-become-pilot.blogspot.com/
