Received from Rishworth on 9 October 2007:
Monthly payment: Examiners US$13,500, Instructors US$13,000, Check Captains US$12,500, Line Captains US$12,000. Contract completion bonus of US$50,000. Net of Indian taxes.
Regrettably, these terms were published on the basis of verbal advice we received prior to final approvals being obtained. We have now been advised that the confirmed rates are as follows:
Monthly payment: Examiners US$11,500, Instructors US$11,000, Check Captains US$10,500, Line Captains US$10,000. Bonuses of US$40,000, paid annually (12k, 13k, 15k). Tax Crew Member's responsibility. Full details are contained in the revised briefing document attached.
We do regret that you were initially provided with incorrect information.
Looks like Air India has backtracked.
Also from Rishworth:
The roster is 14 consecutive days off every 2 months.
