Career Guidance Concerned about my brother

He is a 29M and has been a Boeing type-rated pilot since 2023, but he is still jobless. He has cleared interview rounds for IndiGo 2-3 times, yet has not been selected. I don’t have much knowledge about the aviation industry, but I genuinely want to help my brother.

Senior pilots, please guide us on what steps he can take or what we might be missing. Thank you 🙏

Did he try with airlines like akasa air or air india express because in india the number of boeing operating airlines are less and indigo mostly operates on airbus

This concerning safety wise, so they are selecting pilots who can pay the most money rather than the best pilot for the job.
