Was an interesting presentation. Honest upfront team. 330, Mumbai or Dehli, 340 Bangalore. Very low housing. These are pretty expensive towns to live in. Bases on seniority. (fair enough). Interesting to offer bases to a place you don't fly to.
for FOs considering it, absolutely no chance of being upgraded. Both local pilots and regulators wont agree to it.
A350s and 380s coming, made it very clear expats wont be touching them. So it posed the question what happens to you when your type is replaced, and the 330 is a stopgap until the 350/380s come. They didn't answer this, it all seemed very temporary to me. (Personal opinion). It also meant 320 expat guys wont be going to the 330.
Unable to get an Indian ATPL, so you have to do renewals in the country of license issue.
Contract by law is for a maximum of 3 years, renewable by company evidently, but no proof of this, it is not in writing.
It just had the feel of expat pilot being a necessary evil, that they will replace as soon as possible.
Other gems, duty travel is on interline tickets... ie economy. Oh yeah, you do your renewals on your days off.
Check it out for yourself, but the rumour that it is the best deal going is absolute rubbish. There is not one component of this deal that is "the best in the industry".
Such a shame, I always wanted to work for a brewery.
