India

A guy I know, well, was a DEC B737NG captain at Spice Jet. He was making about 76K, two months on ... one month off.

That would amount ot 114K for full time annual ... but during his working months he worked six days a week ... I guess that be about 76K for a normal 4 day a week kind of gig.

I'd guess a bizjet job would pay less.

Sad ... well sad that people would need to take these postings.

Whatever it is, it probably isn't enough............

Make sure you get some money up front and ROUND-TRIP airline tickets paid for by the company so you can get the **** out of there if you need to!

Depends on how far down the furlough list you are.....
 
I am in India flying a similar aircraft. I would say 18K to 25K per month plus expenses or perdiem, including business class airfare and 4-5 star hotel.

The people are nice, but the flying is challenging, and it is F-ing HOT!

What type of aircraft are you flying?

Hmmm... Sounds like, smells like....ah yes....shull bit!
 
WOW ... 300 Grand a Year , that's nearly 100K more than I'm getting now ... sign me up! Man, that's nearly what the highest UAL B747-400 guy could make prior to 2001. Do they need any Learjet, Citation, Westwind, Falcon, Gulfstream IV/V/G550 pilots? Do they need anyone with extensive air carrier management, SMS, TCE/TCI or business management background?

Yea right 18-25k per month, you bet! I was on a Sovereign there last year on contract. I was replaced by a direct higher who was making 10K per month, 12 month contract. House, car and driver, phone, internet, and at least 100 US per diem overnight. If you cannot get a commute schedule, then maybe even up to 12K. Tax free, round trip tickets in your hand for your leave. The flying is OK, it is all the baloney up to closing the door and when you open it again. The previous pilot was making 10K, 60 on 30 off.

Good Luck
 
Just be aware that most flying jobs in India will try to significantly lowball you. 18-25k/month sounds like someone getting a daily contract rate for the month and doesn't seem to reflect a full time gig salary.

From another board:

I got a call from India today for a Hawker PIC position in New Delhi and one of the questions concerned expected salary. I responded with $90-100K a year. (and I felt like a whore saying it)

He hesitated and informed me that he had talked to several other pilots and that they were all expecting $60-$70K. WTF....$60-70K to go to India???? you have got to be fricken kidding me...I hope these low bidders get it and learn their lesson.

Expect to be lowballed...

No offense to the Indian Nationals, but they will do anything to save money, it makes the ex military guy manager with no flight experience or for that matter, aviation experience look like a genius. They will always come in low and tell you that is the rate in India. Not Really. And the Indian's idea of good housing is considerably different from the western or European world. 18 to 25k is daily contract rate, and there are very few Operators in India who will not be looking for a direct hire pilot whilst they are paying someone that contract rate. It would become there top priority to save the bucks.

The numbers quoted above are very realistic. Try to keep in mind that you are not on call 365 days a year. These jobs are for X weeks on and Y weeks off. Example 2 months on and 1 month off would be 8 months on for the year. You don't get paid when you aren't there

8 months x $18k = $144K with no bennies. IMHO that would be in the low range for living in India away from your family for 8 months.

8 months x $25K = $200K. I just had a buddy turn down a contract in Saudi for that exact figure (old G4). Not interest in 8 months in the sand box.

19K a month on a Falcon 2000EASy was the rate back in 2008. I know because i did it. Your a slave, but need to be paid well or it just aint worth it!
