While there is no doubt that the standards are quite shocking in India, this situation isn't unique and so-called 'professional pilots' have lost their heads and let the CRM slip out the door in the UK/EASA-land (the Flybe incident) - in some ways this incident was worse given that we all consider the UK has such high standards.....mind you the only thing thats worse than putting ex-lovers in the cockpit is putting an ex-RAF/RN pair together!
