Jet Airways

[freightdogfred]

I remember when I flew freight, we had an Air India contract that went CDG-Mumbai-Delhi. I've been a lot of places, but I've never seen slums like those next to that runway in Mumbai. The stuff Haitians would throw away those people were using as roofs and walls...rotten wood, old tin, cardboard. When I asked out limo driver why he was wearing sunglasses at night he said he had eye infections. (Pink eye) Seems at any give time 30% of the populace has it. In Delhi, among all the cows wandering on the highway on the way to the hotel (why don't they tie them up?) I saw a guy who looking liked he was sleeping, right on the side of the road. I thought "that's an odd place to sleep." Turns out he wasn't sleeping....

Out of curiousity, what airframes are they hiring for at 8 grand a month?

Spot on!

Bling,

This is exactly what is happening over at Indigo! The latest is the "security" situation. We now have to get a new security clearance when we re-enter the country after leave: and PAY FOR IT!

The main aircraft that JA and King Fisher need pilots for are ATRs. Its a little crazy over there right now (more than usual) because they are trying to find out what works and what doesn't. They are cutting many routes yet they have new aircraft that cant be returned coming in and sitting on the ramp.

The Chairman of JA has said that within 5-7 years, he hopes to have only Indian crews flying his airplanes.

Curry Carrier, that is the funniest avatar I have seen in a while. Instead of explaining India, that picture should have been posted.... Ick (shiver..)

so does anyone know anything about the company "next generation aviation recruiters"? I was talking with them about a captain job. the pay is only 7300 mo though, and it is taxed.. wow. any better contracts out there?

 

[blingair]

Who knows. Like I posted earlier, the companies are trying to get away with giving the expats less and less. And the biggest gotcha is that even though you sign a contract in the states before you leave, you must sign a new one which is the "real" contract once you get over there. And that contract could very well have changed and not for the better. But once you commit, what are you going to go, leave? It takes a lot of work to get over there, resign from old job which might not take you back, give up lease on apartment or rent out house etc. Its a total gamble and like most aviation companies, they aren't looking out for the pilots best interests especially not the expats.

awacs,

Has the security clearance thing actually happened, or is it still in the rumor phase? I’ve heard the same thing but it hasn’t affected us here at Jet….yet.

. Sweats. Chills. Sometimes at the same time. Hurry and craap yourself silly so you can get up and turn around and puke in the toilet or just get the bucket between your legs and have at it. Of course I was granted one sick day off so I had the pleasure of messing myself 4 times that day. Twice in the cockpit. It is fine.[/quote]


sounds like a saturday night in PAJN. again thanks for the inside look at India. Incredible India.

Don't know yet

Schicer,

I'm off for leave on 1st Feb. We will have to see about the "security" stuff. Just had a guy come back after a 2 month off period over his visa/AEP problem. It seems that there is no problem that money can't fix in this country!
