1. Jet Airways has the most drunk pilots in India - ref Times of India, link:
57 pilots found drunk on duty in '09-10, 11 lost jobs - Times Of India
2. Jet Airways Chief Operating Officer is Mr. Hamid Ali, formerly of Gulf Air. Mr. Ali was the A320 Training Manager when a perfectly serviceable A320 (GF072) was crashed in to the sea after a missed approach. The ICAO report stated the causes as pilot error and gross deficiencies in A320 training at Gulf Air. Mr. Ali refuses to accept the cause of the accident - ref ICAO report, BBC news links:
GF072 Final Report
BBC News | MIDDLE EAST | Gulf Air improves offer
"Captain Hamid Ali, has previously rejected reports that pilot error was behind the crash".
3. The first revenue flight of the second 777 delivered to Jet Airways, BOM-LHR, was crewed by two Captains, neither of whom had been given a 777 simulator check nor 777 line check by Jet Airways.
Apparently, Mr. Ali has learned nothing from his previous "management" experience at Gulf Air.
4. Mr. Ali appeared on Indian TV to berate and vilify the Indian pilots during the contentious Jet Airways pilot strike. However, the Indian pilots obediently accept a Bahraini national as their superior.
