I don’t have to tell anyone here that life as an expat is a crap shoot to say the least. Will the DGCA extend the deadline beyond 2013??? Can one live in China for an extended period of time? Most important… passing the medicals… be they FAA, CAAC, JAR, or now the Indian. There are a lot of variables as to which direction one should take.

For those in their golden years and not ready to hang up the goggles, Jet Airways has one of the better contracts out there. Base pay net of taxes… hotel accommodations taken care of or a living allowance provided if one wants to live in a hotel. Reliable transport to and from major airports that Jet Airways serves, and in business class most of the times too. Pretty much guaranteed to break 80 hours a month.

Remember, whether you go to china or to India, four medicals a year will be required. Both are pretty comprehensive too, but no insurmountable. There will be a great support system amongst expats no matter where you choose to go. They will help you with issues ranging from mobile phones to where’s the best place to shop. That said, you won’t be alone or isolated.
