I am flying an aircraft delivery to Ahmedabad in India.
I am due to arrive anywhere between 18th and the 25th of Sep at this stage. Once I arrive there I have organised some time off.

What advise can you all give me regarding…..
1. Where to stay in Ahmedabad that isn’t to $$$$ but is pretty good?
2. What other cities / Airlines should I visit to try to find an airline job?
3. Any contact names, numbers or emails of expat pilots / chief pilots / recruitment people?

Basically anything would help. I have never been to India before.

If you could post PM or email I would be extremely greatful.

Thanks in advance

Coming from Australia, the first thing that will hit you upon arrival at Ahmedabad is that this is a "dry" state. Officially, grog is frowned upon, as it might besmirch the memory of M.G., who has been hi-jacked by Ahmedabad as its very own son. Don't despair, after a few days you will have figured out that this is solely a racket for the same politicians who advocate the ban on alcohol so they can make mega bucks selling it through the back door

Welcome to India.

I am about to do my US ATP check ride. I have done most of my flying in AUS but found myself in the USA flying a fair bit this year. So no I am not an Al Capitan.

I am not trying to discourage anyone from coming to India, just attempting to make sure they've got the right picture.

When I came to India for the first time in 1979, it was to Ahmedabad - I would have been happy to have been forewarned then

So it is for AAA replacement for the one that crashed with the Late Mr. Dutt on board, is Capt Handa back in biz? He was badly injured in that crash.
