Sep 02, 2022 (newstodate): Not surprisingly, Aeroflot has dropped its quota for foreign pilots.
   Citing a decline in production as a result of the sanctions imposed on the country, Aeroflot has no need for foreign pilots and will instead focus on keeping its Russian cockpit crews in the air.
   In 2020, the Russian government limited the quota for airlines to employ foreign pilots to 100.
    In an amendment to the law in summer 2014, Russia for the first time allowed Russian carriers to hire up to a total of 200 foreign pilots and captains per year, and Aeroflot alone received more than 800 applications from pilots, primarily in the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy and Spain.
