The greener side of the picture is that privatisation has indeed resulted in a huge demand for commercial pilots. In fact, foreign airlines pay much more, going up to Rs 2 lakh per month. And add to this the charm of visiting dream destinations, staying in luxurious hotels, a status in life and lovely perks.
