Jet Airways info...US base
 

Looking for current info re: Jet Airways and basing in the US.

Looking for the typical details....Mins., Pay/Benefits, Schedule/Rules, and overall opinion.

Thanks

Unless you can meet the DEC minimums or you are a citizen of India you will not even be looked at. I just got a letter from them last week stating that since the government changed the rules on expats there will be no more expat first officer hiring in India. I have over 3000hr in the airbus however the government wants companines to hire nationals.

I don't know what the deals is concerning nationals however if the pools were good then they would never need to hire expats one would think!!

WD.

I don't think that is quiet true!!! I fly for the Kingfisher, and they hire SOME FO'S. as well as Deccan.

I you guys/gals want to a part of King, "probably be based in USA" let me know. Bets jet320

There is no US basing as of now. Currently guys are getting based in Brussels.

Yak

Partially true. While based in Brussels, there is some type of arrangement with some of the US guys whereby they are allowed to start and finish their trips out of NY, and then fly to Brussels. Not quite sure exactly how it works... and it's not all US pilots doing this but a large group apparently.

That's from my Jet contact.

4 types of contracts, I was promise the A340 based out of SFO where I was born. But now I know is all a lied, why? The DGCA of India requires that you have 500 on type as PIC, and the king will not upgrade! I been with with them for more than year.

Even if you have a lot time as you I have 7000 on type and they will not allow my upgrade even if I paid mine.

What the T/C s and roster pattern out of SFO

Thanks

No yet flying!! I think it will take more than expected

They don't have A340/330 pilots and upgrade are only for Indians. The requirement of the company for Indians to upgrade is 3000 on A320. Most Indians are Military and zeroooooooooo experince in type and Int'l flying
