KB Menon is on your side. He is truly a good man. But he takes his orders from the chairman so there is only so much he can do. That said, he gets it when you refuse to play team ball simply because his company isn't doing the same with respect to your contract. A lot of things happen that he just can't control but he does his best to minimize the impact to the pilot.
I have worked for 9W during 3 contracts over 12 years. Each time was frustrating but in the end I was paid everything owed, which is more than I can say for other contracts that I've done.
I doubt I'd ever do another contract with 9W again but if I did I would only do so if Menon were in charge of Expat Cell. I'm sure he's pretty close to retiring as he's been telling me that he's about had it for years. There will never be another like him at Jet.
