Does anyone know why the current group has been held up so much in India?
Have heard they are coming home after 10 weeks there!
Was told due to USA flight crew visas not being completed.
Any truth that U.S traing captains they had organised pulled out last min wanting more money hence the hold up, and parked up 777's?
Just after the truth.
Thanks K.E

25 US training Capts rejected the contract.
The F/O's have been sitting in the pub in india waiting for the call up, but not sure what they will do now, no one to train them you see........
Should be plenty more opportunities out there with a 777 rating.

Not good times for those in wait then!
I hear another course starting on 16th Feb and one again in March!
One would be a little nervous if about to undertake this contract right about now?
I hope all works out. Anyone know if A.I plan to sort this out?

Foot in the door 12 years later
Funny reading through this history. For the record and for all the doubters, this contract turned out pretty much as expected... it was a foot in the door, there were a few ups and downs but all of us benefited from the experience and aside from a couple that went down different paths, we became 777/787 captains in various other carriers following this contract.
So in these times of uncertainty with aviation there will be opportunities that arise in the future and for the new generations coming through. Get stuck in and good luck. Go and find out for yourself, at the very least you’ll build some character!
