Don't get me wrong, I have just as little respect for that piece of crap Antoine but in this case I can see why they would want the Jet 330s on the routes with more premium pax since their cabins are infinately better than ours.
Just checked AIMS & it seems that it's not wet leased since our guys are operating Kul tonight. Don't know how that works since none of us have even been given a handout regarding the differences.

Well I guess the AIMS is wrong....(wouldn't be the first time nor the last) None of us have validations to operate an Indian registered aircraft, and none of us have done a differences course for the 333, therfore it would be the 'wet leased' crew operating then....assuming the aircraft is here, or maybe they are hedging their bets...

The crew operating to KUL tonight is DHD back with jet 330 that means they are certainly wet lease even though on the AIMS it still shows our crew operating them in the following days.

Seems that the KUL was planned for the Jet-on-Wet, but the ink dried too fast, and it had to be replaced with ole' GF A340 - obviously, with GF crew.
Capt. M.S.? Was it a 48+ hour layover? Oh, I forget, the roster sections drink champagne, too. Sorry, carbonated grape juice!
Back to the operation: we are replacing the A340 on the BKK run with an A330 of Jet! Either we have considerably lost the load, or the COO of Jet has negotiated a better deal for his new colleagues at the cost of his former ones, or our planners have gone bananas!

this makes me worry why do jet airways have the night stops and our crew have to do the bad blocks.
Who is paying the other GF or JET
In the old days when we wet leased A/C they had to do the long days and short stops why this time its different.
I think we will see our old management flying from BAH on jet air.

For those of you wondering -
The company(Jet Airways) is at an advanced stage of concluding lease out of aircrafts as follows :
Mid December to Mid January, 3 B777 wet lease to Turkish Airlines for 6 mths
Thereafter the 3 aircraft remain on dry lease to beginning of 2011
Within the next week, 1 A330 Charter/wet lease to Gulf Air for 3 mths plus 1 additional A330 around mid december
Beginning April, the latter 2 A330 may transfer to a Gulf carrier for approx. 24 mths on dry lease
Mid February, 4 B777 wet lease to Gulf Air for 6 mths
Thereafter, the 4 B777 remain on dry lease for 18 mths
These are not rumors....i work for Jet....A330 captain.....got this letter from my VPO 2 days ago.

Also the 2 A330s..... VT-JWD & VT-JWE are both "RR" powered.....and we have been told that we will be operating only KUL, BKK and a quick return to Cairo.
The seating is 30J/196Y
Regular business class layout....180 degree recline...and not the herring bone design....as these 2 A330's are leased out by Jet itself....unlike the rest 10 330s which we've bought.
