Over 100 pilots have applied for VRS: IAF chiefGANDHINAGAR: Over 100 pilots of the Indian Air Force (IAF) have applied for voluntary retirement scheme (VRS), Air Chief Marshal P V Naik said here on Wednesday
We have very steep pyramid structure (in the Air Force) where there are less avenues of promotions," Naik said in reply to a question on how many pilots of the Air Force have applied for VRS.
"When one does not get promotions after 24-25 years of service one wants to leave and try alternative avenues. Off hand I can tell that we have over 100 applications for VRS from pilots," Naik said.
"Since there is a slump in the market outside, there are less applications. Once the slump is over the applications might increase," he added.
Naik said that the Air Force have setup independent board of officers to assess the VRS application of the pilots.
"The committee scrutinises the applications on case-to-case basis and if the reasons for VRS are justified, which mostly are on compassionate ground for children and parents, the applications are approved," Naik said.
Naik was on a two-day visit to the South Western Air Command (SWAC) in Gandhinagar to review the Commands' operational, maintenance and administrative preparedness.
Emo, you just don't get it -Flying the SU 30 is one thing and fighting Chinese Air Force and the PAF with it, quite another.![]()
Reality check.No buddy these things are a natural fall out of a rapidly growing economy. They are not quiting to nurse babies but join the civil aviation sector where the avg pay is ard INR 300000/pm. Don't worry in case of a emergency they will be all back in a short notice as a stand by.
Reality check.
Air India pilots getting Rs 8,000 per month

Have you read the link?The article talks about IA (Indian Airlines) and AI (Air India). Both of them are merged anyways. They are commercial airlines. Here we are talking about IAF.

It is due to lack of patriotismnothing else. People can give thousands of reasons but it is the real one.
When you are responsible for operating such expensive machines that are notorious for taking lives every now and then, I think you deserve a little more than mere Rs. 40k.
Patriotism doesn't come out of an empty stomach.
