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.

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.

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).
