There were a couple at SQ when I was there in the early '90's.
True gentlemen, and fine aviators.
In comparison with other majors, the salary is quite meagre - as a matter of fact, I remember one Air India 747 Captain telling me, "
I would be ashamed to tell you how much we are paid" - however it was "adequate" to allow these gents to employ several servants back home. (From memory, it was about USD3.5k per month.
)
Quite surprising really, because some of the more lucrative expat contracts (eg.
Jet Airways ) paid quite well AND worked on a 6 on/6 off basis.
India is a great country, imo - once you get out of the hustle and bustle of the cities.
India has a historical culture that leads me to believe that life in places such as Fatipur Sikri, and even around the Taj for example, must have been quite "civilised" and quite advanced, in comparison with the rest of the world.
BTW, is
Johnny Walker Black Label the national drink of India??
