[ikan_terbang]

WHat is JET paying for b737-400 captains.
Need to compare this with SAHARA

lookin for the expat terms or local ??

Just be aware that Air Sahara is publicly looking for a financial helping hand. Jet Airways has on record denied that it is interested in helping out while KingFisher (whose promoter has equally deep pockets) yesterday confirmed that he is reeady to help.

KF is an A320 operator while Air Sahara has 737s/CRJs. But more importantly most of the major routes KF operates are also major routes of Sahara. May not mean much as I guess KFs interest is mainly getting the international route rights Sahara has, but still........

Yes, I'm also curious, what is the monthly salary for a Jet Airways FO and a Captain? And if someone could also please give us an idea of time to command P1?

How r these terms and conditions compared to the other Indian Airlines?

Thanks

Jet is the best airline to work ... professional .. good Aircraft ...
not very sure abt the salaries ... but P1 on the 737s is about 6 years from DOJ ..

Thanx for the info, freaktrimmer. Do you or anyone else also know about what their terms are for bond and type rating?

I'm one of many NRI pilots on the fence trying to decide if we want to take the plunge and deal with DGCA conversion process.

The main roadblock aside from DGCA is that I've heard the bond can be 4-5 years and up to $40,000, which is beyond me. I mean, one can get a B737 rating for as little as $7000-10000 in the US and A320 for $10000-16000. Why the discrepancy, when everything else is so many times cheaper in India? :confused:

And also, many of us would still be willing to do the bond if it's installments out of salary over time but I've heard many airlines in India want the money up front or some sort of draft. Even most American pilots can't afford to fork over $40K for a TR when we've already invested so much just in getting CPL.

Like i said earlier in one of my posts

A B737 Captain makes about US $ 5300/- net......
thats obviously without any overtime...

im sure an expat would be making more

time to command?
well company policy is 5 yrs in the company to be considered
but with us needing 700 pilots in the next few years
well u can well imagine how much faster that could be now.

Golconda,

I don't think all the airlines require $50000-$60000 up front for the type rating. Some have a system whereby they take it out of your salary. Initially you might have to pay a smaller amount (like Rs. 5-7 lakhs in terms of a guarantee) which would be reimbursed after 5-7 years. The remaining amount is taken out of your salary over a period of, lets say with Indian Airlines for example, 120 months (monthly deductions).

Secondly, I believe, a lot has to do with experience levels as well. Having 200 hours piston time as opposed to someone with 3000 hours and lots of multi engine and or turboprop/jet time would make a difference (correct me if I am wrong folks)...it then boils down to you coming up with your own "personalized" contract with the company. I am not saying that this would eliminate the "payment" problem entirely, but it would certainly give you more options in terms of how that "payment" is executed.

If anyone has opinions or facts contrary to what I have mentioned, please contribute. I would like to hear your end of the story.

Cheers and all the best!
