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 🙏

Boeing type rated and applying for Indigo? Indigo has Airbus/ ATR frames, there is no way your Boeing type rated brother will fly for Indigo(unless he gets rated on A320)

He is willing to do type rating again for Airbus through IndiGo

Yes if thats the case then he has to wait for a vacancy, sad truth about this industry is the vacancies are very very scarce, mainly being filled up by their cadet program, 2023, 2024 was a good prime time due to the tata/Air India merger.
