well i think in most of the cases the main concern is the money you get for the amount of time you invested to make it!, next, the schedulle, subs'ly the off day's you get to enjoy the nice place, that's very important
a lot of people I know fly like a homming bird in jetair! in deccan is almost the opp, and so on
next will come the benefits, like insurance, loss of licence, tickets for the family, the milkman, blablabla
and the last, but not at all, is your capability, chances or luck to upgrade in equipment, or to jump to the left seat!!!!

Beg to Differ LEFT WING
Hey left wing , just a note , the pay difference for F/O between Jet and Kingfisher is substantial. Jet pays much better in all aspects. Kingfisher take home is in the order of below Rs80,000/-- per month and at the moment they are finding their feet.

VIMD23,
Jet airways also makes you pay for the type rating and deduct the cost out of your salaray whereas Kingfisher doesnt charge for type rating (just post dated checks in case you leave before 4 years).
I am sure that makes a substantial difference as well when they type rating can cost upwards of $40,000.

Best Airline In India?
The word "best" is subjective.
There are two types of emoluments.A)Financial B) Emotional
Jet and others might be great in the A) department but consider this....
A colleague of mine in Air India was medically grounded after being diagnosed with blood cancer.The airline spent $4000 a month for two years on his treatment,flew in medicines from the USA and today the guy is fully cured and completing command training.The airline also gave him a ground job and temporary loss of licence compensation for those years.
Nothing in the world can beat the welfare benefits of Air India for those who are down and out. Jet,Sahara, Kingfisher etc may pay you well under normal circumstances but consider the day when it rains.....

Hey Jetsreams
Nice to read a balanced perspective about an airline like Air India.
By the way I did hear that Air Sahara took care of their staff well when during a few years ago, they ran into problems and had to return many of their aircraft to lessors barely managing to retain their scheduled status.

Young Turk or anybody,
Would Kingfisher take FO time only into command slot or if not, how long to upgrade from FO to command.
8000 TT. 5000 A320 RHS. 1000 A330 RHS. 1500 turboprop command time.
Also, does sahara require a 737 type rating to join.
Any info appreciated.

pls guys, do some research! NO FO JOBS IN INDIA FOR EXPATS! end of story........ its the law.
PIC Type rated with min 5000 tt is the std requirments for Capts only jobs on A320, 737NG, ATR 72.
If have this you will get a job asap, you need to bargain to get your self the best deal.
