Do you know the truth about heaven?

The Word of God or the Holy Bible describes heaven as a beautiful place with no death, sickness, sorrow or pain. (Revelation 21:3-4)
Many people wrongly think that being a good person is all that is required for them to go to heaven.
The Word of God says "If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9)
Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem, Israel about 2000 years ago and lived a sinless life for 33 years. He was beaten, crowned with thorns, nailed to a cross and then he died and was buried.
Three days later God raised him from the dead proving that he was who he claimed to be, the Son of God.
This historical event was witnessed by many people before Jesus Christ went back to heaven. (Acts 13:30-32)
If you would like God to forgive you so that you will go to heaven when you die just say a meaningful prayer like the one below and God will hear you and save you:
Dear Jesus Christ, I want to make you my personal Lord and Savior right now. Please forgive me of all my sins or things that I have done wrong in my life. I believe you are Lord and that God raised you from the dead. I thank-you for shedding your sinless blood and dying on the cross for my sins so that I can have a home in heaven. Amen.
If you just now made Jesus Christ your personal Lord and Savior welcome to the family of God because now you are a Christian.
Now that you are saved you should strive to live a Godly life because now you represent Jesus Christ.
You should also find a church to attend on Sundays and if they say that you need to do more to go to heaven than what you have already done then leave and find a real Christian church in your area if possible.
http://www.JesusChrist.com - This is an excellent website.

Have a good day!

I'd like to know the answer on that too. I'm getting ready to take my OCI paperwork to the consulate, hoping to do it sometime next week and will ask someone there when I go. Better to hear it from the horse's mouth as they say Even then I'm sure they'd find a way to stick it to ya somehow.

As far as i'm aware, you do need an OCI. This was told to me by the VP OPS of 2 airlines. I've already got a PIO card & when I went to the High Commision of India in my country, the guy there said that airlines in India had been given some sort of directive that NRI's need to be OCI'd. I should be getting mine any day now. I will keep you informed if anything changes.

Christ

****, Ron
Get a life, bro. There are many religions out there, each applicable to those who are followers. As long as they are not confrontational, who cares? We need to look after our fellow man. Regardless of race, creed or religion. We do a job, many people rely on us to do it well, and with a non-partisan attitude. We have a responsibility. Let's leave our our own beliefs behind us when we go to work, and do the best we can for those who choose to travel with us. It matters not the carrier. It's ordinary people (like us) who influence others. Do your job, to the best of your ability. You will earn more respect.

Question

So sifting through the preaching and static can someone give us a definitive answer to the question.... Does OCI ownership allow you to fly in India as an F/O. Do we need the same security clearances as expats prior to license issue

Hey Zero

It seems to be quite a grey area regarding OCI/ Sec Clr. I will prob have a very firm ans. tomorrow, as I am now speaking with the right person in the right place about this issue. The DGCA don't know **** as usual - they just say yes to everything, even when it blatently means no.

I just found out today that my OCI was ready 2 months ago, but as usual when it comes to Indian Govt. Depts, no one wants to let you know when something is ready.

Back to the point - From what i'm now hearing, if you are in posession of an OCI, you do not have to undertake the Sec Clr, applicable to expats. You are now on parity with NRI's & Indian Citizens - except when it comes to voting and Agricultural Land.

Will fill you in in the nxt few days with a more definate ans

ya i know. I had to call them once almost every week until I got an answer. THere was no intimation by email, post, phone that my oci was ready. The onus lies on the end user and thats where it ends. They proclaim to be government servants but the only thing they seem to serve is themselves.

I know the dgca is full of crap. Someone told me that if you get a reply to a query make sure it's in WRITING with their signatures seals and what not.

Oone of my colleagues got his application for FRTO denied because he was Canadian with OCI. They said the OCI is not valid and he needs approval from MHA. THat freaked me out but talking to others I realised that they were just haggling him.

Hope we get a a positive reply from all concerned. Cheers.

Yeah, I hope its all good at the end of this rather eventful journey to the flight deck.

Just wondering how far down the line you are? I'm almost done with everything. PM me to chat, would be good to get some feedback & opinions from someone in the same boat.

OCI - Overseas Citizenship of India.

You need one or experience on type (min 500hrs) to be either an FO or Capt.

Anyone got an idea on how long the full process takes..between getting an OCI and converting to Indian Licence!?? I have heard it can take up tp a year... but being India..I m sure it could be done faster with a few bribes!?
