Air India
 

Does anybody here have any information about flying the B-777 for Air India with US basing? I am interested in QOL issues and what the cockpit atmosphere is like for DEC's. I've flown to BOM many times with Delta so I know what the good hotels are like in BOM and I'm expecting to stay in something similar. I don't know where Air india puts people up, therefore the question.

YAK

I am interested, too, I hope someone comes up with the information. Are you a current 777 Captain with Delta?

No......but I was flying it for Delta when I took the lump in '05. I'm in the application process now and need to be careful for what I wish.

PM Mayfly135 as he's still there on the B777. He's ex airforce, tankers, a great guy and will give you the full story.

If it was me I'd try Jet Airways first. We have a number of pilots there on LWOP and they quite like it.

I am interested in Jet Airways as well, but in talking to the representative crew leasing companies it sounded like Air india may have a better schedule. right now it seems like Air India is more eager to hire and that may tip the scale for me. The money seems to be the same so QOF issues are most important.

Which leasing company currently has a post for Air India? I have started looking into them as well so I would appreciate any info you have gotten.

Rishworth has a direct AI contract. They prefer NZ or Aussie licenced pilots as the B777 training is completed at Air NZ in Auckland.

There was talk of no more FO's for India, but that has not materialized as of yet (to my knowledge).

Not cool pal :mad:

Not sure what you're on about there mate . . .

If it's directed at me would you care to explain.

Not sure what he meant there either, but I appreciate the info. I knew that they had listed for India before, but it doesn't look like there is anything on the site now. Thank you again.
