I am reliably informed by an old colleague, that despite the ship sinking, the Expat crews are not being able to jump to Air India. Apparently there must be a 6 month period from leaving one Indian carrier before joining another. Jet Airways are refusing to facilitate this. Thus the Expats are consigned to the scrapheap after some 6 months wet-lease, as opposed to joining Air India who have 777's standing expensively idle for lack of crews.
Anyone know what's going on over there?
