Whaaaaat! No value sala!

Guess no Air India guys jumping in here then. Thank you SWIP :}

Well said VG...
 

JA isn't serious about looking for B777 captains.
After 8 months advertising on 5 different agencies they got only a handful of either family haters or desperates...
On the other side you're right on the money: nobody would leave a current job to join JA, for the reasons you mentioned.

Show me the pictures and show me the proof. Hear say does not cut it folks:=.

Can any B777 expat corroborate these allegations?

It has been two weeks since the notice of update of improved conditions was posted. Any news???

NOTHING NEW
 

This has been offered since 6 months ago...:confused:

Good to see they are making progress. Unbelievable. Can't understand why they can't recruit 777 drivers.

SIMPLE!
 

They aren't serious about their 777 recruitment plans.:ugh:

Vortex
 

1 - Credibility problems? Oh yes. A lot. They hired many dozens of expats to just furlough all of them in a short time. The "loyalty bonus" is as credible as their promised great contract, which lured dozens of 737 captains and irresponsibly fired all after just a few months.

2 - Do they think expats are bunch of old fools and greedy MF? Oh, a big YES.

They need to get serious or will crash more loudly than KingFisher.

True!
 

Spot on, Marvel.

As always Jet benefit from a group that don't have the slightest self respect.
Despicable cheap prostitutes ( no intention to offend the prostitutes) would be a good definition for the majority of this group.

Worse, they lowered the bar for everybody else who actually NEED decent terms and conditions. :mad:

Too much sugar in the lad's diet, me thinks.:cool:

I'm shocked , are people saying there is unprofessional / corrupt Indian pilots trying to pull a scam?



Nothing new !!

Have dealt with some in the past few years,Parker pen pilots who are full of themselves . They need to be weeded out before an accident .

So far Jet doing a preofessional job
 

Was there last week in Mumbai. Jet flights bach-n-forth worked just fine. Arriving & transport to the hotel in BOM no issue. Hotel itself decent enough with breakfast & one buffet meal included (so flights & hotel paid for). In the sim, 3 from 7 failed the screening over two days. Two Jet CP's present, very pleasant, cordial & fair. I had no problems, my partner did get 2 repeats and even after that was given a GREEN LIGHT to proceed to the medicals (if you fail the screening no medical naturally). Two day medical (they provide transport & pay for all costs there) right afterwards (so you are there for min. 3 days) - same as performed in China, very detailed, way more specific then the FAA or EU. I suggest you have a full ultra sound of your heart (2D) and stomach area (liver, spleen, etc.), CBC and Liver Function Test prior to going to aovid any surprises. From those medical results, 2 from 3 candidates had follow up issues after returning to their home countries. That means re-tests, a letter from your Doc, re-submission to the Jet Doc, if he OK's, then a contract. So from 7 only one made it clean thru without complications :-)
Looking for 100 CPs!

Believe it or not, yes even in India there's a sane reason for the extensive medical evaluation during one's assessment in Bombay.

Around October 2010 Indian Pilots won the battle in court, requiring all expats flying with FATAs must submit to the Indian Medical, which is conducted by the Indian Air Force.

The first group of expats submitted to the medical procedure in January 2012, resulting in a fairly a high failure rate. Not only with Jet Airways crews, but with Indigo, Spice Jets, and Air India Express as well.

Expats, like locals, go to a hospital in their base town, and submit to "Pre-medical" The initial pre-medical includes Resting EKG, Stress Test, X-Ray, Full Blood work, and Ultra Sound. All reports are "Purple Stamped" by the hospital doctors and or lab technicians. Before proceeding off to Bangalore, the Company Doctors, also add their "Purple Stamp" the medical reports. Problem was, in 2012, the doctors stamped the reports, knowing that numbers were not within the parameters. Thus off the expat goes to Bangalore... doomed for problems with the Air Force Medical. If there are issues found by the medicos in then off he/she goes to the Malipar Hospital for further study, and reports on deficiencies. Then back to the Air Force Facility with the results. Thumbs up, one gets their medical certificate. Thumbs down, one gets to go home on a TMU (Temporary Medical Unfit) Status.

The bad or good news about a TMU??? time off, to resolve one's issues or seek employment elsewhere, with 70% pay for the period not to exceed, now 6 months. Other carriers sent their crews packing without TMU pay. I believe Jet Airways still provides for TMU pay, versus Spice, Air India Express, which do not.

The Indian Air Force, like China uses their own guide lines, and parameters which margins, perhaps may be narrower than other countries.

Thus the reason for the medical assessment by Jet Airways.

Should added that caveat to the TMU OBP...

Cheers:ok:

A Mate of mine has recently been hired by Jet Airways on the 777. He applied through DPI and was very happy with the whole process.:ok:
So they are still taking guys on the 777

Jet Airways is not reimbursing for visa expenses to fly to Mumbai, and the carrot that they are putting out they will cover and pay recurrent training is misleading. After you attend they offer you a contract than you have to go and find a local TRTO organization and pay for the recurrent out of pocket. It is only after you complete training at Jet than they will reimburse your out of pocket expense so on average guys are waiting two to three months. I was upset getting stiffed on not getting reimbursed for the visa that was almost three hundred euros.
