Thanks NG Fellow

Do you know what kind of accomodation you can get with US$1800 per month?? Is it quite good? I have heard Mumbai housing is quite expencive...

[Nevrekar]

Atr Fo

I expect that $1800 should get you pretty good accomodations. If not you can take the company provided accomodation. At most maybe you have to pay an extra $200. Also, Jet seems to have bases other than Mumbai--why not go to Delhi, Bangalore--less crowded than Mumbai. Weather is also better. From other posts here, expect to fly 100 hr a month and 6 days a week.

Thanks, Nevrekar
Is it only Jetairways hiring expats FOs?? I wondered if other ones also hiring expats FOs....

If anyone can also share some info of living expence there will be appreciated. Is it quite expensive as other Asian cities - hong kong, singapore...?? So New Delih or other town is cheaper to stay?

Thanks!!

You can live quite comfortably in India with the salary provided. Depending on whether you are married with kids or single will determine your other expenses. Do a google search on expat living in India and you will find many interesting articles and info. All major cities in India are about the same cost wise. Assume for a moment that you are single, and Jet offers you a contract.
1. Housing--You will have no problem finding a nice place for $1800/month. You may actually get a place for less. Average rents for expats in Delhi are from IR 45,000-IR90,000 per month for a 3BR/3bath place. If you are single you can split it or just rent a room in a house for much less.
2. You should live quite comfortably for under $1800/month or less.
Perhaps someone who lives there can shed some more light.

[pinkflaps]

Thanks for your info.

I actually have a family. So I am wonderinf if it will be comfortable to live there for them as well. I tried to get into expats web, but can't really find other info. If you know where to visit this web site, could you please tell me their web address?

How is the transportation there? Does anyone have a car, or can afford to have a car? Or is there good transport system?

Thanks again.

ATR F/O jobs

Family life isn't bad in India. Note that you will working 6 days on/1 day off. But you get 2 weeks off every 8 weeks. Schools are great in India. Most Indian kids excel academically when they transfer to the USA or any Western program. Curriculum is tough and very science and math based. Not a great emphasis for the creative as is here in the USA. Public schools will be the cheapest. American schools/British schools are very expensive--around $15K USD per year per child. Private Indian schools who call themselves "International" schools are cheaper. $3-6K USD per year. Most major cities in India have the schools that are mentioned above. Just do a google seach on the city and put in schools for expats etc etc. Indian schools will require your kids to learn Hindi.
Driving in India is a real challenge. Everyone honks for no apparent reason! Lots of pedestrians, cows, animals etc. If you get into an accident and someone is injured--forget about the Western rule of staying with the car until help arrives. Run for your life... The mob will try to get to you before the cops--and god forbid you hit a cow (sacred in Hinduism and in India). Better to hire a driver ($150 USD/month) and let him take the abuse! Plus parking is such a problem that you need a driver to drop you off at a store and then pick you up. Parking in the main shopping district is close to impossible. Your driver will need his own cellphone so you can call him to pick you up. Foreign and Domestic cars are readly available in India. Indian cars are pretty cheap--10K-15K USD or less brand new. Japanese cars run around $22(Toyota Innova--88K USD (LandCruiser Prado)brand new. Used cars will be cheaper. It's better if you drive on the major highways, just convert your foreign license to Indian. If you have been to Jakarta or Bangkok, the traffic, driving situation is very similar. Car models are different in India. What is available in the west may not be in India. Example-Honda Pilot not available in India--but the CRV is. Landcruiser (Toyota) is known as Prado. Toyota Innova--not heard of in the west. Public transportation is very readily available and cheap.
Most Indians (Middle-class and below) use it a lot. If you are non-Indian you will get stared at on the bus etc--Indians forget to blink a lot!!! Another point, try to live close to the airport (especially Mumbai) --otherwise it will take you 2 hrs or more to get to work because of the traffic. Pollution is also a big factor in India (Bangalore, Mumbai). Delhi is getting better with CNG requirement for rickshaws and buses.
Hope this helps. Just for the record. I don't live in India but this is info I have gotten from relatives/friends who live in India currently. Anyone currently in India who would like to add or correct me please feel free.

I am not au fait with the Jet rules etc, but can give you some first hand info about the living conditions in New Delhi.
Unless you get caught in the "better than the Joneses" trap (in which case, even a $4,000 rent would be low!), $1,800 to $2,000 would get you a rather good accommodation. If you were to stay, say, in Gurgaon (which is very close to the airport and a totally self-sufficient town-ship), I would imagine that a $1,000 to $1,200 a month would be all that you may need to set aside for the rent part of your expenses.
Cost of living in New Delhi/Gurgaon would surprise you: you see, though the official exchange rate for the dollar is approximately 45 Indian rupees, in reality, a Rs 45 takes you much further than a dollar would in America. What I am trying to tell you is that the PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) is way different from the exchange rates.
Whilst you may have to work out the children's education (there are enough good international level schools), you would definitely be advised to have a vehicle for ease of movement.
Ploease feel free to ask me for any specifics: it would be a pleasure to put you on to the correct tracks
Cheers

[pinkflaps]

Thank you guys for all the very usefull info!!

So a cup of coffee would not cost US$1? I used to live in a very third world country in Asia, so I think I can imagine india is just like that but better! I also heard that India is booming and I just thought maybe the cost of living is expensive....?!

Thanks again!

indian f/os with ATR

here i want to know, indian f/o with more then 500 hrs on ATR can also apply for same kind of package. or can an indian f/o with indian licence come through this agency to work in india.

[NGFellow]

Atr F/o

Package depends on Nationality & licenses held. If you are an Indian Passport holder with Indian Licenses you are hired as an Indian. You do not get the expat package. You apply directly to the airline. But you have a lot of job security! Not contract work.

If you have a non-Indian passport and foreign licenses then you get the expat package. The advantage of having an Indian passport/ratings is that you will be hired with very basic flight time requirements. Foreigners need time in type (500 hrs in most cases) and more flight time. Foreigners need not convert licenses to Indian ones.

Indian & Foreign Licences

Following on from NG's post - I'm currently flying in India on an Indian Licence (CPL), but I am a holder of a JAA frozen ATPL. In a couple of months my JAA licence becomes unfrozen subject to getting my rating transfered etc etc etc... & I would like to use it.

Now, I'll have well over 500hrs on type & more than 1500hrs TT & all my jet hrs completed in India on an A320, but the DGCA are insisting that I need to do the conversion ATPL exams, inc regs, which I have done at the time of my CPL conversion. Why should I - or do I have to?

Can someone pls shed some light on this dilema, if you have been, or are in the same boat as I am.

Thanks
HPC

hello hpcock
OK, did you initially convert a foreign license to get the Indian CPL? If so,
I've gone through the same except it was FAA.The Indian rule is there can be only one conversion , i.e. Foreign CPL/ATPL to Indian CPL/ATPL ....once you convert a license to it's Indian equivalent , the next license upgrade has to be done on the full Indian requirements, i.e ground subjects and oral exam for the ATPL.
Ideally, you would have initially converted a foreign ATPL to the Indian one and that would have been it ....unfortunately you like so many before you do not have the requirements for the ATPL and remember the X-C req. for the Indian ATPL is 1000 hrs(>100NM's) which is very hard to get unless you're working at an airline , charter etc.etc.
Best of luck for the papers , have heard that the DGCA plans to make the process more streamlined and have the exams conducted more frequently.
