Hi, Any latest news regarding Bjets,Hope problems are still going in there.:{

Looked on an Indian business site yesterday. Bjets CEO says he expects operations in India to start in September. Also, that he expects to have 100 clients by the end of the year, having already secured deals to provide travel for a number of corporates. Hopefully something will start to happen by the end of the year. Just got to hang on in there. A friend spoke to someone in India RE the expat situation. He was told that it could be due to recent elections in India & that it could be relaxed in the coming months

Seems a strange thing to write. I can only assume/hope that something got lost in translation.:confused:

With the expat thing the explanation is simple if frustrating. Influential families sent their offspring to the US to obtain licences. Offspring, like every other newly qualified pilot, find it dificult to find jobs so their parents put pressure on the government. With an election looming they imposed the ban which we can only hope will disappear later on. If it doesn't indian aviation is going to be in a fine old mess.

As for the BJets operation itself there should be signs of life soon. The original COO* has been asked to return, he arrives in Hyderabad this week, so expect to see movement. Those pilots being paid to sit at home might soon have to start working for their money :O





* I originally posted this as 'CEO'. Sorry.

CEO
 

Ha this is not Mark B anymore???? I am totally confused............Can someone shed some light on this please//////////

Is it CEO or COO,Flintstone please clarify.

Thing are not good in Bjets ,CEO is been advised by people without any aviation background,No one in operations, Engg,QC the main deptt's in any aviation company ,as per a friend of mine from Hyderabad who had gone for a interview in April, Current situation not known.
Can Gandhi tell somthing

Whoops, sorry folks. Typo.:\

The CEO is staying. He has been acting as CEO/COO but the original COO, who left last year, has returned. I'd expect a cone of silence while he assesses the situation then some activity.

Flintstone - sounds about right.

I'll be holding onto my hat and patiently waiting for a positive outcome.

Business as usual in 3 months?


:)

COO
 

Who is old COO heard they are still looking for one???

Some new management.

Much improved lines of communication and organisation.

Negotiation with DGCA for permission to use expat pilots.

The fat lady ain't singing.

Lines of communication
 

Hi Flintstone,When you say improved lines of communication will this include the pilots who were interviewed and were successful? And if so, when can they expect an update at least with regards to moving forward?Not trying to throw a curve ball just interested if you have any additional insight.Thanks

Lines of communication
 

I'll learn to use spaces between paragraphs soon... :-)

PP.

New management issue an email to employees every day or two telling them what's happening. For now those in the holding pool aren't included because a) there are too many and b) it's not certain that the company will get the dispensation to bring on more expats.

Is Hydrabad only available base so far or is Singapore a possiblity to. Thanks.

Not sure what's happening regarding Singapore basing. I think they're flat out trying to sort Hyderabad!

Bail while you can
 

The truth is this so called professional group tried to hire me and my friends and they are so screwed up they never returned emails and no calls after serious interviews and promises. Please tell them to screw off and find a new positions as this young green ceo is only a marketing boy and has no idea how to run an airline so please do yourself a favor and find run away as it is not going to happen...................................................... ................................................:=:=:=:=:=

You are absolutely right EECEPR the CEO is a blady fool and a day dreamer , accompanied by an equally stupid supporter the VP HR.

This is not a company for professionals .

No body should try here . they promise something and never full fill it.

In my opinion this company is a total disaster, but then most Indian flight departments are. My recommendation is to be VERY careful when considering employment with any Indian company.

Inability of any company to communicate, says all.

Correct Wiedo,

And this is just because their the bosses are busy filling their pockets. Their VP HR is in front line , Ihave read a lot about him on this forum and was keen to find out more about him. He is realy a bad man drawing salary more than Pilots, is a criminal and is most close to the stupid CEO.A lot of good people have left the company because of him(speacialy females).

I am no where related to this company but was still interested to know how the charters work as I am a flyer with a scheduled airlines in India.

The top people are realy minting money and making the owner fool, no one seems to be serious about running the company.

You can see few of them running in the DGCA head offices.
They all seems to be fools knowing nothing about civil aviation.
I saw thier VP corporate at DGCA this friday , he is a joker.

This company is realy a havoc.

Planes are sitting at hanger no one at delhi airport since last month.
A few people have turned this company into a very bad place, I don't know what the owner is doing !!!!!!!!:ugh:

From what I hear the only asessment criteria for hiring local FOs is a $25,000 bribe to HR.

Looks like BJETS is shaping up to be a real success.
