Just a heads up to all those thinking about going over to Jet Airways in India.
Jet Airways has not been paying their expat captains their pay on time or the correct amount and are several months late on paying back owed over time, if they receive it at all. Some captains are wondering if they should even fly over the mins for fear of not getting paid. Why kill yourself flying 120 hours a month if you aren't getting paid for it?
They seem to be having a hard time adapting to the global changes going on and the expats are getting the blunt end of the stick. They let you know very quickly that they can and will do anything they want to you wether you like it or not. And you have no recourse. As an expat you are not allowed in the union and are specifically excluded from pilot meetings.
So just a word of caution for those going or thinking of going over there. Besides India not being the best place to live and Indian carriers not being the best companies to work for (great under statement) theres a good chance that you will not get paid whats in your contract and if you do, it will not be on time.
Also, if you do go, they don't like you to leave and will make it very hard for you to do so, ie not paying your way home, no last paycheck, a lot of B.S. etc.
Just something to thing about.
