Hi guys,

I worked for Jet (on a different type) a couple of years ago and I think I can offer some perspective for those who consider the job. So, here's my 3 Rupees worth:

- the contract was generally respected, never had any problems
- pay was mostly on time (there was about 1-2 week delay at some point), but never was short-changed, always got what was due...
- things promised outside contract were adhered to
- Expat Cell personnel was helpful and flexible. Mr. Mennon was a very nice Gentleman
- not even once had to travel in Economy (even though my contract stipulated Economy tickets only). Once or twice, when Premiere was full, was offered a crew bunk. Also airport staff was generally very helpful and respectful towards 'captains'
- health coverage in was very good (used it only for minor stuff, though)
- hotels ranged from very good, to not-so-good

issues:
- things tended to be disorganized at times
- rosters were constantly changing and we were worked to the limits (120hrs/mth), but that was domestic flying
- living in India is not everyone's cup of tea...
-sometimes dealing with evem simple things required utmost patience (like, getting a cell phone, changing bank account details was almost mission impossible).

Hope this helps...
