Rostering at Airlines in India
Can anyone tell me what kind of schedules are normal for the airlines in India. I know the 6 ON 1 OFF deal, but I wanted to know if Jet/or Spice/KF had 3-4 day trips or are they all day trips on the 737NG/A320. Also is there a Reserve system in place as well (at home or ready at the airport). Do expats go through ground school, sim training and then operating experience before line release? How long does that take?

Is there a programm where it is possible to upgrade expat F/O to the left seat?
This is also very important question if you ask me while making a decision.
If yes what are the requirements?

Rostering in India - at the moment & expat upgrades
Most of my flights (A320), tend to rtn on a daily basis. There is not much overnighting at present either.
YUCCY - To answer your qu - not many at this point in time. Most expat pilots are on rolling contracts, & therefore, it does not make sense to the operator to upgrade the expat FO to the LHS. Whether this is a bad thing or not is debatable. However, for the time being, Expats are seen purely as a stop gap for the operators until they can fill seats with local pilots.

How do companies secure their bonds ? I have heard that they make you make out many cheques in their favour and then return a cheque at a time till the stipulated bond time. Are there other ways ? What could be a plausible amount and schedule in the Jet/Randhem scenario ? What is it elsewhere ?
Would anyone out there actually consider bonding himself for 5 years ?
And that as an expat in a foreign country one may or may not like ?

Accomodation
The first deal was 3000 euro tax free and five star luxury apartment.
Now it is $4400 and 33% tax and shared two bed room accomodation.
Accomodation in Mumbai is really expensive. You need some
$2500-$3500 do get a descent apartment. If there still are $1800 allowance it won't get you far.
What is the next deal?

Bonds
The bond is for 3 years, not 5.....
Before you fly off to Miami for your type rating you pay 5000Euros (6400Dollars) wich you later get back IF you stay 3 years at Jet Airways.... IF you quit before your contract expiers you have to pay them back what you owe them for the type rating minus the time youīve been working there and minus the 5000 Euros
Exaple: type rating = 30 000 Euros
You work there for 2 years= 20 000Euros
(30 000/3 years = 10 000 per year)
30 000-20 000-5000= 5000Euros
So...If you work there for 2 years you owe them 5000 Euros...
Hope to see yaīll soon

Is not the contract a bond?
I really hope that they wont ask me for money or a bank loan. 5000eu is ok, but more than that I am not willing to pay them.
Read in a Swedish forum that one of the questions asked is "What happends with the top of descent when the aircraft is heavier than planned" I think it is that you are going to have higher kinetic energy and therefore you need more NM to slow down. Any suggestion.
Going for the interview tomorrow. I am so nervous before interviews. Do you have any advise how to cope with interviews?

Is Jet Airways A Good Option?
Hi guys!
I have done the interview with Randhem for the first officer position in the 737 working for Jet Airways and I would like to have first hand information from somebody who is currently working for them.
I was told in the interview that it would be really tough ..and to be honest I am not enterely sure if I would be able to cope with living in India and all that stuff..This would be my first jet job so its a great oportunity that I dont want to miss.
The contract is for 3 years and they said that it would be really difficult to get a job back in Europe if you quit before those 3 years due to the very bad references that they would give about you, waht do you thinK?? Has anybody been in that situation??
I would really appreciate any information...
Cheers!!

The conversion from Efis to NG only takes 3 to 4 days. It costs roughly 4 to 5 grand (us currency). So I've been told. You can get it done in Miami, and Amsterdam. Jet had a sim and could actually do it for quite a bit less but I think they're rather busy.
Can anyone confirm the rumor of WB departure from JA???
