FYI I applied to Air India through a contract agency back in September and October time frame. My DGCA security paperwork went to the DGCA 17/10/08, I have yet to get a clearance. Because I did not have a clearance in November I missed a screening. Ir India held a screening in the states in February and even though I STILL did not have a clearance I did get to go. The sim guy said 'welcome to AIr India' as his initial debriefing item. The interviewer said that we could expect to attend 'Familiarization' in about 3 weeks in NYC. So far I haven't got a date when that will start. Its been 3 weeks tomorrow.
Luckily I got forewarned about India hiring and flying for them by a close friend. He wrote an extensive list of how to adapt and every other item on his list was "Be Patient" and he flew for Jet Airways.
As far as the interview, there were no questions, most of the interview consisted of rechecking all the paperwork you had already sent to the contract agency, especially flight logs, current medical and date of last flight and sim.
I'd love to 'talk' to anyone there now about tests that are required once we get there. Another person told me that you are required to take the tests and pass even though there was no training--very interesting! He also told me that any F/O has the gouges--sure hope so.
If you are interested in the sim profile I can post that as well.
I also would love to find out if incorporating yourself is worth the effort. Do I need an umbrella policy for protection against accidents. Any ex-pat--chime in here please.
Still waiting................ but with patience (not)

According to civil aviation ministry sources, Nacil is being forced into “distress borrowing” now since most banks are willing to roll over the company’s short-term loans. The exposure of banks has breached the limits set for a single company. “Instead, they (banks) have now demanded a comfort letter from the government,” said an official who did not want to be quoted.
Maharaja’s coffers go empty and the banks aren’t lending

Gents ( and ladies)
I,m a little confused about whats happening in Indian Aviation. Just a few questions
With all the talk of expat contracts being terminated by 2010 , as well as layoffs and equipment transfers ( Jet 777 to GF for example). Why then are Air India still advertising for expat 777 crews on 3 year contracts?
Is it true that you have to keep your base licence current. Lets say I get my Indian Gcaa licence based on an FAA one. I now have to keep going back to the USA to ensure my FAA licence is renewewd on the 777 ? , or do they like everywhere else in the world give you a 6 monthly sim check and keep your Indian licence current ?
Some contract agencies offer US/ Canadian bases. Then they talk of 6 on 2 off . Well which is it ? are you based in the US ( ie you start your flights out of say JFK and return there. Or are you 6 weeks anywhere on the schedule and then 2 weeks off ( on the base they refer too)
Aprreciate any input . Tks
