I am supposed to take an exam (I believe its just on Indian regulations) within 90 days of getting my temporary license so that will be in Oct. I took my oral two weeks after I got here with DGCA and it was very short like five minutes. So why are some of you saying that people with FAA licenses will get shafted by DGCA?

licence?
Hi all !
Could someone please give me some information regarding a 737 NG difference course done in India . I receive an email from Jetairways saying that they would do the difference course on the NG and then I could start flying . I have a JAA licence and I fly the 737-3/400 . Would the NG course be aproved by the JAA ?
Or do I need to do a PC check on the NG in a JAA TRTO ?
I would appreciate any feed back from guys who went through this procedure or anybody who knows anything about this .
Thanks a lot,
DJ..

The airpsace over India is certainly getting busy...one only hopes it (ATC) can keep up and modernise in time.
What is really noticeable is the numbers of female pilots...there seem to be always one or two on frequency...very nice to see.
I was VERY impressed by the group of Kingfisher FAs walking around in uniform at the DXB Airshow...about the best pilot recruitment strategy I have seen in a very long time...stunningly beautiful ladies
We certainly live in interesting times...the next few years will be fun to watch.

Air Deccan orders 30 A320s
Indian low cost airline Air Deccan has ordered 30 A320s in a deal worth $1.5 billion. Deliveries will begin in 2008. Earlier in 2005, Air Deccan had placed orders for 32 A 320s and 30 ATR 72-500s and this new order will take its total orders to 92 aircraft.
and now JAGSON..........all over the press
funny though, in the press pic theyre holding one A330
they say its with A320's .........tipical confusion
Jagson Airlines, India's first private carrier, is planning to change from a regional carrier into a low-cost.
The carrier, which operates short routes in Himachal Pradesh, Uttaranchal and Rajasthan, is planning to acquire 19 Airbus narrowbodies.
Jagson was the first private airline to get a license to operate in 1992.

Re: Indian Boom!!!
I'm talking to an agency about a contract at Jet Airways on A330 / 340. having done a moderate amount of delving, JA appears to be better organised than some other operators.
Can anyone past / present give me an insight, and confirm what things are like?
(OK, I know its a fast-changing scene there!)

Re: Indian Boom!!!
No merger for Indian state airlines
Praful Paten, civil aviation minister for India, has publicly stated that there are no government plans to merge Air-India and Indian Airlines in the immediate future. The announcement silences rumours that the government was hoping to make significant cost savings as both airlines plan to issue initial public offerings of up to 20% of their equity in the first quarter of 2006.
The state run airlines are trying to compete with new start-up private carriers and the government has already approved Air-India's plans to buy up to 68 Boeing aircraft and the purchase of 43 Airbus aircraft for Indian Airlines.
Kingfisher Airlines has pulled out of the race to acquire Indian domestic carrier Air Sahara. Jet Airways is now the leading bidder. The stumbling block in the takeover was the valuation by consultant Ernst & Young, which valued Air Sahara at $750 million. Kingfisher had bid for $400 million, while Jet Airways had offered $550 million. Low-cost carrier SpiceJet has also ruled out interest in Air Sahara.

Jet Airways buys out Air Sahara: report
January 11, 2006 00:02 IST
Last Updated: January 11, 2006 02:46 IST
Jet Airways has bought Air Sahara for $560 million, television channel CNN-IBN reported late on Tuesday night, quoting sources.
The move comes close on the heels of liquor baron Vijay Mallya's announcement on Sunday that he is withdrawing from the race to buy out Air Sahara, given how well his Kingfisher Airlines was doing.
He had also added that he had market information that Jet was going to buy Air Sahara.

Re: Indian Boom!!!
Can anyone help with info about joining Jet Airways as a TRE on the 737 - can you go direct to them or is it only through an agency - if so which one?
Also any info on pay and conditions would be appreciated - is it an unaccompanied thing or can the wife and kids come as well - I heard that there are some very good Intl Schools in India.

Anyone who spends any time around the sim centres such as those clustered around LGW will know that very significantly more that that is on offer. Don't undersell yourself, you will be working hard.
