As a captain on B737 I have been receiveing many job offers to fly for Air India Express and Jet Airways. Is there anybody who have flown for them or could help me with informations such as rostering, safety reputation, work enviroment?

Jet is a good place to work, very proffsional all top management is from EU. Flt Ops is very well run.

Tks for your reply!
And about AIE, do you have any information?

The main difference between the 2 contracts:

Jet Airways 8 weeks on 2 weeks off
Air India Express 6 weeks on 2 weeks off

Pay is fairly identical:

Jet $8700 month net
Air India $7700 month with $12000 end of year bonus yr 1, $13000yr 2, $15000yr 3.

Hope that helps.

I was informed that at AIE you have a lot of layovers... On the other hand Jet takes you back to Munbai almost every day. Can I trust on it?

Jet has as many lay overs as AIE.Also Jet has placed orders for 777 340s etc so u may have the chance 2 fly something a bigger .I dont know anything about AIE orders.

1. Does the pay include the 2 weeks off?
2. During those 2 weeks off are any tickets available to travel outside India?
3. During the period 'ON' what is the roster pattern like? I assume normal days off have to be given. Are FTL's anything like UK?

[alloha]

Rostering in Jet is 6 days on 1 day off. Economy space confirm ticket is provided with an upgrade in Business if space available within the network of Jet.FO's are the most expencive furniture "on board".They only do R/T and checklists.They also fly the plane from climb (1000ft AGL) till descent (1000ft AGL).They need 1000h on type + 3 consequtives Check rides (1 has to be night time)to make a take off or a landing.

6/1?

Do not like the sound of the 6 on 1 off rostering - say goodbye to ever having a Sat or Sun off !! Pity , really , as I was thinking of applying .
