Jet Airways
A few days ago it was posted that, regarding Jet Airways, they we’re reneging on contractual agreements reference accommodations, annual leave and time off. Has this been established as fact or is it in the rumor stage? Are they actually unilaterally changing a written contract? If it’s true – how are the pilots taking it?
Thanks for any information. I’ve heard such great things about Jet Airways in the past that this seems like a complete turn about.

Working in india
I have been applying to several airlines in India for the last 6-8 months, eventhough I'm just a college student and a flight instructor with low flight time. I finally recieved an e-mail from Air deccan Chief Pilot few weeks ago stating that
"At the outset thank you for sending your CV to us. However, we still are
waiting for approval to hire foreign co-pilots. Once the approval is
available we will get back to you".
I thought Indian carriers got approved by the government to hire first officers,,,
I'm confused.
I still haven't heard anything yet and I have been trying to call them, but no luck so far.
I'm planing to send my CV again when I break the 1000 hours.
Good luck guys

In India
1.Direct entry left seat requieres 500 PIC on type.
2. I saw the new directive as 2 days ago and DGCA has just aprooved of FO expats, CPL and 3 current on type.
Don't know yet when companies will start hiring but get back to me in a couple of weeks and I'll let you know.
There are all kind in every country and here in India is no different, it all depends on how your contract is written.
So far I had no trouble, but always on the lookout,
Contact me if you have any more specific questions.

Expat T & C at Jet Airways

"Jet Airways
At the moment Jet Airways apparently isnt the best place to be... I was told they promise everything and when you are there they start taking it all back. At the moment there is a dispute about accomodation, the guys are put up in 5 star hotel appartments, as per contract, but the company has told them to move to a 3 star junk hotel by the end of the month !!!! Same thing with annual leave and time off....... Better check up on these things before you guys pack up the toothbrush"
In my opinion these are all baseless rumours. I know many Expat pilots working at Jet and havent heard of any ad hoc / unilateral changes being made to their contracts. And at no point have the pilots been made to move to 3 star JUNK accomodation. Yes all airlines have their petty issues of rostering etc but I havent heard any serious issues abt Jet / T & C of the expats.
