All the curry you can eat
 

Indian Airlines is looking for direct entry non-Indian captains for their 747-400s and A310s according to a trashy mag I just read. Doesn't say how many million rupee they'll pay.

Seems out of a billion+ people they still can't crew the jets locally. :uhoh:

Might put my name down. Anyone know if there's an accomodation package on offer? Wonder if there's a decent curry joint nearby.

And what base... guess it depends on how you like your chicken- Madras, Vindaloo or Butter. Didn't know they have a town called Butter but there you go..... ;)

Be quick.....

Get your news , its Air India looking for 747-400 captains. Be ready for a very hostile cockpit, as there are more than 2000 CPLs in India stiing at home no jobs no GA flying so the local FOs wont really love you, while they could be capt. nd the other young guys at home could be SO or FO.

hey mutt, hope that curry joint u find makes u s:mad: t bricks for a year...vindaloo and butter

there's a reason for that temporary induction of foreign pilots. Its definitely not yours,

Seems out of a billion+ people they still can't crew the jets locally.


get your facts straight

** nothing new there, ronnie
 

..........Those Indian airlines would be my dream job ( := :p :} ). And in case you've been under your rock, DECs are now the flavour of the month, just take a look around this forum.

Wonder if some of the capt slots are now available due to capts leaving them Indian airlines for DEC jobs "elsewhere" ? I dunno, I'm confused... that seems to make it alright to take a DEC job, doesn't it?!?! :ok:

Thanks for mustang's informative confession that there is a motive out there but he has no idea what it is. It was so important you even signed up just to tell us.... well done..... :hmm:

Are there any that don't??? :sad:

actually, never wanted to offer any opinion on this forum but your 'hilarious' posting changed all that... I think I like it here. u should be flattered 'cause I signed in just to inform you.

so presumptuous of you to think that I have no idea about AirIndia's 'motives' for DEC's. Do I HAVE to list them for you?

Anyway, Im sure you'll be a real gift to Indian aviation ...since you WILL get hired with your great attitude towards different styles of curry.

:ok:

:} muttley why do guys like you prove there is no shortage of horses with blinders !
There is more than curry and DECs to life broaden your horizon and you wil simle more often. And stop bashing different cultures, and then wanting to work in the same place you hate every thing about.

Indian Pilots are a very cool bunch of guys who will love you if keep your beaming attiude under wraps.:mad:

bashing cultures? hate? huh?
 

Thanks ronnie for the heads up. I put my name down and we'll just have to see how it turns out. :ok: If I get the interview I'll prep for the big day with plenty of curry and neck exercises.

Not presumtuous of me, just that lots of knuckleheads around here post statements like yours with no back-up.

Not me, I'm not pretending to be anything I'm not and have no idea what you're referring to but would like to hear as it may help on the day in front of the panel.

You will like it here because there's so many knucklehead postings someone like you will always be able to amuse himself.

Enjoy................. :}

ok, look muttley, not to prolong this pointless discussion...but, what statement of mine r u referring to?! the one opposing yours about not finding crew out of a billion ppl to pilot the jets? which one of us made the irresponsible statement? Im sure you can figure that out...?

I intend to enjoy, I like knucklehead statements. Never thought I would hear it from professional pilots though.

At the interview, when asked why u wanna join AI I highly recommend you mention the curry joints in the brilliant indian accent Im sure u can imitate! ;)

Hi Muttley!

Let us know how that DEC interview goes. All the best. Have you been to India before?

Cheers

Why would that be irresponsible? It's just an observation. Good question, why can't they crew their jets locally?

So much sarcasm and discouragement going around. First off India is not in the middle east its in Asia (this is i think the ME forum) and secondly if Muttley Crew wants to try it out, let him, he may actually enjoy working there. Alot of people are discouraging him and yet none of them are living in India. Thats all there is here is sarcasm, discouraging and complaints. Nothing good that someone can take from here. Do you guys fly with tissue boxes?!?

Why are Emirates and other airlines around the world taking DEC's? What about there ample/able FO's/potential Capt's??

...there IS obviously a shortage of capt's at AI due to whatever reason and these are the steps being taken to fill the gap. There is a sizable batch of young guys undergoing training as of now and a posting for 40-odd more trainee pilots on the website. So, the wheels are in motion to tap into the billion+ pop!!

I just didn't like mutts sarcasm, not my kinda sense of humor.

hope that comes close to answering your question?

V8

Well I dunno. First mustangv8 says he knows why they need the DECs and then he says he doesn't ("due to whatever reason "). :rolleyes: A chap's just trying to fish around for some info to help get a step up in life and keep getting the boot sunk in. :*

As for my accent, what makes you think I didn't grow up there???

Pretty big conclusion you jumped to there VEE-EIGHT ... :*

I suppose you never even bothered to check my profile before you leapt in with your claws. :hmm:

My question is: Why exactly do they need to hire DECs with all those pilots around? Anyone who does actually know, please share.

Also, what about their security? Do their jets have kevlar cockpit security doors or just those bead curtains?

Seriously...

as a matter of fact, I did view your profile and interestingly enough, i noticed you added some background on your upbringing, hmmm didn't see that the first time on your profile. my eyes must be failing, may lose my medical!

If you grew up in India, whats with the 'butter' being a place in India? shouldn't u know? again, unnecessary sarcasm.

Oh and I never mentioned I knew about the DEC issue. I wrote that it definitely wasn't yours. Go back and read the whole bloody discussion again. dont mean to give u the boot or anything but when u ask questions in that manner, u will get flak...especially from a true Indian!


by the way, AI ordered the modified B747-400 from Seattle...ones with the kevlar beads!!

:cool:

Come on muttley!!! Have you ever made it through one of those bead curtains first time! Can not get much more secure than that. And they make a nice sound while bumping down 27 at Vabb as well.
You will have to think a bit more clearly when negotiating your salary with AI old boy. I believe you just have to email, stating you have had the odd curry here and there and you are in.
All the best.
Don

There you go MD11, finally a positive post. You can now toddle of to school a happy camper.

Good on-ya Muttley, give it a bash ol' son.

From what all the Indian drivers in my outfit tell me, a captain in AI is second only to you know who. Or is it the other way round? Can't remember the finer points of the conversations as l usually doze of when the conversation swings around to, "Back in Indiaaaaa, blah, blah, blah" .............zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

A lot of overly sensitive people on this thread. Calm down fella's it's only a keyboard, not a cockroach you're trying to kill with those two fingers!!!

"Happy landings" to quote some fine ATC statement l hear some where regularly.

….V8 only firing on 6
 

This is all doing my head in. If you don’t know why’d you say you did in the first place?!?!?! :rolleyes:

So you’re telling me it’s “not my reason” but you have no idea what it is? And you’re trying to make me out to be the clown??? :*

Ok so no bead curtains with Indian airlines. What about the beef variety??? I mean, man does not live on bread alone. Second thoughts, would they be more like “curried beef curtains”??? Is that it???

I dunno, just asking… be silly not to find out as much as possible before I turn up to the interview, right??

One last question: If I get the interview and at the end the guy starts shaking his head, is that a YES or a NO??? :confused:

Like I said, I have an idea(a good one) about the DEC's. Its a temporary issue which is being dealt with. these guys that get hired are on rent and Im sure thats made very clear to them.

ok, the beads again? man, let your imagination run wild...if u see curried beef beads, go with it dude. Im sure the bobbing head cabin crew will take care of your bead fetish.

u should know when they shake their heads, u have grown up in india, no?

:cool:

mustnag now 3/8 cylinders
 

So now you DO know again??!?! :confused: How many personalities going on in there mustnag???

Listen I'm not really into beads, despite what I said. I did know a girl who was though, :} and it was a very messy affair. :yuk: I DON'T recommend it.

Beef cutains- yes.

Beef beads??!! - Don't go there;)
