All of you should understand that those days of rule at AI and IA are over. Those horror stories are now a thing of the past, and these are the days of CRM, younger and more polished (?) pilots (...at least relative to the old days
)
Complaints against agressive/non-conforming pilots are dealt with seriously as no one wants such pilots in their airline. One such pilot got the boot 6 months ago and another is being closely watched. Even managers are getting younger and are of a younger generation. So interacting with them too is a lot easier.
KF's roster should settle down to a 6 day ON 1 day OFF pattern, but that's because things are pretty hectic with a start-up operation.... training-wise, increasing schedules and fast-arriving aircraft. Just can't help it, it happens everywhere especially when recruitment (local resources) doesn't keep up with expansion and/or failure rate of pilots sent for the type rating are high.
A 7-day roster is provided nowdays (at least they do a good job attempting to) about 2 days in advance. But that too is expected to improve once the computerised rostering system (software) is in place. With any luck it may settle down to a 5 ON 2 OFF (likely) or 4 ON 3 OFF (less likely) if these suggestions are accepted. But almost every airline in India follows the DGCA FDTL minimums which calls for a mandatory 7th day OFF... and therefore follow the 6 ON 1 OFF roster pattern so as to always have an available pilot.
