It is truly a sad state of affairs!
It kind of reminds you of a certain ex-governor who when asked about mineral resources found in his state, responded by saying they had plenty of Fanta and Pepsi!
One would think that concerning the aviation sector, which has so much to do with the safety of lives, it would be different. Unfortunately it is not so.
Until the dear fatherland can come to a point where such sensitive appointments, and indeed all appointments, are made on merit rather than on a political whim, I dare say the future is not very bright.
