I've been away and just picking up the thread. Thanks for the replies. To 777fly's comment about knocking it, I wasn't. I think JA is a good airline. I balked at Mumbai base. If it was BRU or YYZ I would have jumped at it.
I am retired (35 years at Air Canada) and was looking for flying. It seems that India is the only place where over 60's can get a contract. The Indian contract is, in my opinion one of the better ones. I hope they do well and are not laying off pilots.
