Thumbs up AIE..........

Hey tomcat. AIE has a lotta goods and a few bads.Salary is good.....ie for expats. Approx 9,000$ PM ( if u include the year end bonus). All accomodation is 5 star hotels with transport.Tax is YOUR problem. You can opt for 3 weeks on and 1 week off or 6 on and 2 off.Time off starts when u reach ur home base ON the AI network. New York and LA included......amongst others in the U.S. ALL travel to and from ur home base on the AI network will be AT LEAST buisness class with First class more often than not. You will be treated like a king! Cons........try and opt as hard as you can for....1)Delhi base....2)Cochin....3)Trivandrum....4)Any other EXCEPT Calicut. Conditions are ok even in Calicut,except that u will be completely away from any decent form of company...( cabin crew notwithstanding.........lolol ). Even when in Calicut (if),ask for the Kadavoo Resort.You will get it.You may try and ask for Bombay base but in all probability,it'll be blankly refused cause it's reserved for training captains and the lot.You know......the previliged kinds...!!! Also for obvious reasons.Sims used are Jet Airways sims,which are in Bombay.You gonna have a brief 1 hour screening in the sim.If u speak english,u wont have ANY probs.Hope i could help out tomcat.If u want anything else do lemme know.When are u expected to join? All the best.All in all a pretty kool deal. P.S.....be prepared to fly at least 90-100 hrs PM. Overtime starts at 75. Cheers.
