Spicejet vs Jetairways
Hello Guys ,
i was working almost 1 Year for Spicejet and i did make a BIG Mistake to change over to Jetairways , where i resigned already to end of January , for few Dollars more.
I highly recommend Spicejet ,
Cpt Jack Ekl chiefpilot and ex former Chiefpilot Southwest US and Cpt Jati Dillon Vice President of Spicejet , both Guys are very hornest and Gentlemen like which you normally dont find anymore in Aviation.
The Company is very professional and i did like it very much to work for them.
Expat Pilots are handled and treated like permanent Pilots , Rostering taking care of Pilots.
Aircrafts in a good shape , PFD ND , resttime and off more then enough , Money on Time , Sim assesments and Sim Checks are fair and professional.
So Guys who want to work for Spicejet or thinking about , from my site highly recomended.
For sure in some points the opposite of Jetairways.
Cpt G.F.

DAYS OFF: 8 weeks on, 2 weeks off, company provides the ticket home twice a year (besides the standard regulatory 7th day off every week - usually you get a day off every 4th day).
HOUSING: Airline provided - usually a 4/5 star hotel, all meals included.

Do you know if they offer a housing allowance in lieu of hotels (for those considering bringing the family). Also, what are their crew bases? And their weekly roster. Is it 6/1 like Jet?

Gurchi--Do you work for Spicejet? I have heard nothing but good things about them and even though Jet is bigger and better known, it appears that the QOL (quality of life) seems so much better at Spice. How are they doing financially? I know most airlines have lost a lot of money lately.
Where do they interview? Do you have to take a sim check? Where is all their training taking place? Crew bases? Hours flown monthly?
Many of us are considering Jet/Spice/AirIndiaExpress. I would much rather work for someone where the atmosphere & QOL is better than for a big operator with WB in charge. Even if the pay is a few bucks less!

Spicejet Screening
Has anyone been through their screening? Where is it held? Details? Sim, questions etc? Hope to get a screening with Jet & want to try to combine the two. Haven't applied as yet to Spice? Their website only mentions Indian Capts. Does Spice pay for your ticket to screen? (AUS,NZ USA)
Also how do you become a checkairman in India?

SpiceJet--Are they really hiring expats?
Is Spice really looking for expats or just locals? How many pilots do they have on their seniority list. What package are they offering and how many Capts do they really need? Is their package any different than Jet?
I sent my details to [email protected] weeks ago and never heard back. Perhaps I should send one directly to the chief pilot. As a contractor--Spice vs Jet--where would you go?

ive heard good things about spice jet. Im also considering this option. In the website it seems the requirements are a bit high. What are the odds of getting into a jet with someone with the mins for a regional in the us?

Not sure what you are considering to be high as a requirement. First off, are you going as an Indian National or an expat. If you are an Indian National with Indian licenses then you can fly a jet with minimum flight hours. I would not be surpirsed if you can fly a jet with 250 hrs. Not sure what the regional mins are in the USA. If you are an expat then as a Capt they require 500 hrs in type (standard for most any contract). Expat F/O's are now also being hired as long as they have time in type of aircraft flown. If you are an expat remember you will only be there while there is a need. As soon as the 250 hr lads get done with training, out you go! If you are regional expat F/O with no jet time or no time in type of aircraft being flown, your chances of being hired are slim in my opinion.
