Kingfisher's promises
Anyone having problems with Kingfisher keeping its commitments? I attended a sceening 2 months ago in London. Was pomised $210/day for expenses. Have not seen the money in spite of numerous e-mails and calls to Mr.Jagdish the HR rep making all the promises. He keeps assuring me the money is on the way to my account but it hasn't happened.
I'm not as concerned about the $630 as I am about airline reps stringing me along and telling untruths. We can only put a stop to this kind of treatment by exposing it to the light of day.
My advise to anyone going for a Kingfisher screening...insist on the money up front or you will spending your time trying to obtain what was promised you.

Get used to it if you are going to India. They don't even always pay you money that they owe you when you are working for an Indian Carrier. I think I remember a post similar to this a while back, stating, "that is the Indian way."
I have a friend who was just told by his employer, not to return from his leave due to reductions in force. I guess longevity does not play a part over there, since he was in the top 15% of the Pilots at his company. By telling him not to come back, it also means that the Airline does not have to pay him his $12K bonus for completing one year of service.
India sucks, and it is not going to get any better!!

HI
The way you said, India Sucks, but you know what, pilot are crazy to go and work there. I came from a third world country, you have to pay under the table for everything, taking the written, go for your medical even for the job. It sad but that's the way it works my friend.

Thanks for bringing this up, same happened to me. Of course this also
helped me in my decision to join or not.....definitely I don't need an
employer who is cheating me even before the contract starts !

Working for Kingfisher airlines is the worst choice you can do if you wanna go to India.
Layovers as the only company in India they send even captains to the guesthouses instead of hotels, not even lowcosts here do that !
Rostering - working on evening calls for the next day, no valid roster followed, no privat life since you never know when is your day off.
And many many more issues like the one mentioned above.
By the way, looks like Kingfisher is 1 billion USD in loss right now.
Kingfisher Air runs up Rs 4k-cr debt

update
After 2 1/2 months, numerous phone calls and e-mails, Kingfisher finally paid the money promised. Thanks for all your comments and suggestions. Bottom line is keep the pressure on these guys or they'll cheat you out of your underwear....

If you hate us so much leave , nobody forces you to stay here. If I go work in another country it would be kind of stupid to give such bigoted statements when you are staying there.
............................................................ ...............................
bcz this this is the only country which gives freedom /right to speak and write
which they have missed at home ,let them enjoy.
-----------------------------------------
most companies pays all dues after joining requirments are completed,and that also takes few weeks.
this company has money.

don"t put every company in one bucket .
your company has foreign CEO
and + recruitment ring who gets salary on time.
