One wonders why the DGCA has'nt taken any "stern" action yet, too,against any "errring"pilots since the formation of this pseudo "rule".....!!!
*******
Simple - the rule was promulgated and no doubt influeneced as well AFTER the decision of the AIX pilots to reverse hop! And of course AIX loosing money due to the grounding also played a part! Have to give credit to the govt and AI management also, first putting IPG in their place and now this DGCA circular.
Well now things are in place finally - hopefully we will see an end to some of the mis-adventures!
Now the only thing the pax will have to worry about is the appropriation of AI aircraft to ferry politicians and their hangers on official visits! About time for a Public Interest Litigiation!
