Man, was I ever tempted this past week! A friend called me and asked if I would be interested in a job in India. He told me about the excellent pay and bennies (free medical for me and my family, housing and servants provided, car and driver provided). So I said yes I would be interested. I met with the two fellas who were anxiously looking for someone to fill their position, and I did as much checking on their company as possible and found it to all be legit. But when I started digging further into the details of living in India, the less appealing it sounded for a family with small children. I asked a buddy that used to fly there for NWA regularly whether he would take his family there, and he replied instantly with an emphatic "NO".
To make a long story short, if I was single or if I had no kids I'd have gone in a heartbeat. But I cannot guarentee I could keep my children safe from the diseases filth and pollution, so I had to pass. I know I made the right decision, but I am regretting the missed opportunity... it would have been such an adventure and I could have lived like a king there! Have any other pilots here been tempted by such an offer?
