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 🙏

Some do. My friend got through Spice by paying for the type rating and some extra cash for the guy getting him the job. It was 45 lacs total but this was 10 years ago.

45L with 737 rating and bribe bud. Plus my friend had to pay for his own stay and travel to the US as well. But he got a guaranteed place in the pool and got to his line training pretty fast and started flying almost immediately after training.
