Angry india offer

i was offered a job in mumbai last year flying a koala for club one air
they had 2 new a119 koala`s

they made me an offer of 50,000 usd per anum, 1 year contract

they were going to get a waiver for me to fly there as i did not have enough time in type
i had 200 they wanted 500 hours in type

they offered a ride to work every day and a place to live

they wanted to pay in rupees
they would not give me any solid data on duty time or scheduled work days
( i found out later it was 6 days on 1 off)
they would not confirm travel expenses would be payed

the wing commander did not want to work with me in the least to make the deal happen

i passed on the job but wished i could have gone over there to work

he ended up hiring a guy from sri lanka for 10,000 usd per anum
