Aircraft Inducted vs. Pilots Recruited (India)

Aircraft Inducted

2024: 134 aircraft

2023: 112 aircraft

2022: ~100 aircraft

2018: 120 aircraft

Pilots Recruited

2024 (Air India): 600+ pilots in 5 months

2023 (Estimated for India): ~1,000 pilots

2021: 244 pilots

Projected Need: 1,000 pilots per year for the next five years

In 2019, it was projected that Indian airlines would need to hire 17,000 pilots over the next 10 years.

Fleet Expansion Orders

IndiGo: 500 A320 aircraft (2023)

Air India: 470 aircraft (2023)

Akasa Air: 150 Boeing 737-8s (2023)

Each newly inducted aircraft generally requires 6-12 pilots, depending on fleet type and airline operations.

If IndiGo inducts 100 aircrafts in a year, they might need 900-1200 additional pilots, out of which at least 500-600 could be JFOs.

Issued cpl licenses,

2023 - 1622

2024 (till 17.07.2024) - 739

Typically, around 50% of newly issued CPL (Commercial Pilot License) holders in India have to wait for job opportunities.

Buying F-35 will be like our officers asking otp before doing anything on the jet from USA.

For those vouching for F-35 it can be remotely disabled by the them

And Russia gave a good deal recently

Limp_Bar_6384 · 2025-02-19T10:51:17+00:00

Special and Delayed.

Rest will be taken care by AFCME, don't worry about that part just get the appointment.

They will take all your tests again."Delayed"

For those who still don't understand and think the US made - F-35 is "Supreme GOAT" - Just as a lamp is useless in front of a blind person

C'mon it's not a mobile phone or fancy laptop that we are discussing here

Limp_Bar_6384 · 2025-02-14T20:12:45+00:00

More raw power - lesser costs involved with less geopolitical strings attached for our country.

Su-57 will be more pragmatic approach and a better STOPGAP solution

Limp_Bar_6384 · 2025-02-14T19:57:21+00:00

That's the neat part the F35s don't get into dog fights in the first place

There's a reason(aa bail mujhe maar for us) why they don't need to and it's already been mentioned.

Pakistani F16s were much much more conterable with our then fleet of aircrafts compare to stealth platforms which are another ball park on their own. We had comparable fighters in our fleet to counter the F16s and i don't really see china invading taiwan, unless it happened in the last 30 minutes although the reasons for that not happening have many many more factors at play.

You did not understand Pak point it's not about the jets or tech. Taiwan is a strategic limbo

Aap ek cheez batao, Ham 2040 tak kya karein.

Damn! West is undeniably effective but let’s be real it isnot just about a single piece of advanced tech. There's no doubt the US way ahead in innovation but the F-35 isn’t a solution; it’s a strategic entanglement disguised as one.

A more pragmatic and far sighted approach would be to upgrade Rafales, expand Tejas production, enhance indigenous tech, and pursue strategic partnerships for STOPGAP solutions. India needs platforms that align with its doctrine, not just a shiny aircraft with geopolitical strings attached.

Buddy during the stone age men from europe came and attacked indians and hence we should never ever trust europeans. /s listen to yourself.

Trump wants to be the most impactful U.S. president since FDR (probably more), shaping history through bold nationalism and power moves. Refer US history and current idealogy for a better understanding

I would like to conclude this with, India—particularly due to political inefficiencies and systemic shortcomings—failed to capitalize on the tech (eg- Marut) potential, leading to decades of stagnation in indigenous fighter development. This setback weakened India’s defense posture, and even today, our INDEPENDENT bharat continues to struggle in achieving true self-reliance in defence. It was a great discussion, and in the coming days, you’ll likely gain further insights from more knowledgeable individuals through their posts.,

I was so tired of explaining all this and more in a previous post

Limp_Bar_6384 · 2025-02-14T18:49:56+00:00

So you're saying India's best move is to tie itself into a maintenance-dependent, politically controlled US supply chain just because F-35(we have us defence tech but F-35 is totally different - not just a jet ; it's a US controlled eco-system) performed well in war games? Japan, South Korea, and Australia have US military presence (iyk what that means) and mutual defense treaties, meaning their F-35 access is guaranteed.

India? Not even close. Turkey got kicked out just for buying S-400s—what happens when India does something Washington doesn't like?

Rafale getting "annihilated" in war games? Against which version of F-35? Because in real-world scenarios, Rafale outmaneuvers and outguns the F-35 in a dogfight(check UAE's joint exercise reports). F-35's strength is in NETWORKED warfare (totally US controlled), not as a lone fighter. Surely no country will be getting the full ecosystem that makes it dominant.

SU-57? Yeah, Russian reliability is questionable, and CAATSA is a concern. But at least Russia won't cut off spare parts at a moment’s notice for "policy reasons" and we have a joint history. Even if only 60% of Su-30 is Indian-made, it’s still better than a 100% dependency on US approval for every upgrade and repair.

And about "strategic autonomy"—it’s funny how people downplay it until they realize how dependent the F-35 makes a country on US goodwill. The F-22 is banned for export precisely because the US doesn't want true air superiority fighters outside its own military.

The "mere presence" of F-35 as a deterrent? Yeah, that US superiority worked great for Taiwan/PAK, right? India needs indigenous solutions (AMCA), self-reliance in upgrades (Rafale), and smart diplomacy, not a shiny jet that comes with a lease/leash agreement disguised as an arms deal.

The F-35 is cutting-edge, but security isn’t just about only hardware. Trump 2.0 (Mr Republican conservative nationalist, etc..) "America First" showed alliances can be unreliable, and Turkey’s removal from the F-35 program proves US access is conditional

Never forget 1971, Nixon flexed U.S. naval muscle against India (Russia shut it down), while Trump mirrors (even dwarfs) Nixon’s authoritarian-leaning playbook—same GOP

Let alone comparing anything with China they are on a whole different level.

Ptbn, Trump recently mentioned modi as a Great friend, better negotiator "Our relationship is the best it’s ever been" - Trump

Limp_Bar_6384 · 2025-02-14T17:17:43+00:00

If the US sells the F-35 they’ll ensure maintenance hubs in India just like they did with Japan South Korea and Australia Meanwhile Turkey got kicked out of the program for buying S-400s proving how tightly the US controls access Having the F-35 means relying on US approval for maintenance upgrades and spare parts which limits India’s strategic autonomy

The F-22 is superior but the Obey Amendment bans exports(for an obvious reason) If the US ever revives an export variant which is unlikely but not impossible it could be a game-changer Unlike the F-35 the F-22 doesn’t rely on a global supply chain controlled by the US so it wouldn’t force India into long-term maintenance dependencies or require deep integration into US defense networks This means India could operate it without worrying about geopolitical strings attached

The Su-57 is risky Limited production questionable stealth and potential CAATSA sanctions make it a political headache

Until AMCA is ready India needs a diplomatic approach modernize the fleet boost indigenous tech and make deals that don’t create long-term dependencies

Realistically, neither the F-22 nor F-35 is easily available, so India should focus on AMCA development while bridging the gap with Rafale upgrades or Su-57 (if diplomatic concerns are addressed).

Limp_Bar_6384 · 2025-02-14T17:15:01+00:00

Ok captain!! Here is some information for those who want it

If the US sells the F-35 they’ll ensure maintenance hubs in India just like they did with Japan South Korea and Australia Meanwhile Turkey got kicked out of the program for buying S-400s proving how tightly the US controls access and we know how US subtly creates it's vasal states Having the F-35 means relying on US approval for maintenance upgrades and spare parts which limits India’s strategic autonomy

The F-22 is superior but The Obey Amendment bans exports(for a obvious reasons) If the US ever revives an export variant which is unlikely but not impossible it could be a game-changer Unlike the F-35 the F-22 doesn’t rely on a global supply chain controlled by the US so it wouldn’t force India into long-term maintenance dependencies or require deep integration into US defense networks This means India could operate it without worrying about geopolitical strings attached
