What Hairy was commenting was I presume on Wizofoz posting about restictions on employment in India.
EUs employment policy is skewed in favor of certain nationalities. For the same reason dont expect Indian government to welcome everyone with open arms! Blair and his EU friends wants India to buy their Airbus and ATR toys but dont want the Indian pilots to work for their airlines at any cost!
Well the airline has clarified what hahs happened and the newspaper has published the same in the same linmk which the original poster had given (but after his initial post)

Clarification: Kingfisher Airlines\' Reaction
Kingfisher Airlines wishes to clarify that flight IT 405 from Ahmedabad to Pune was under the command of Captain H. Abbas and co-pilot Captain Rajiv Gaur.
The incident being investifgated by P. Shaw, Deputy Director, Air Safety, DGCA Mumbai, is because the aircraft, after stopping on the runway, cropssed the flat barrier chain, while executing the back track (180 degree U-turn), on
clearance from the Air Traffic Control, Pune Aerodrome, to proceed to the parking bay.
Any suggestion that this was an overshoot or an incident that affected passenger safety is an exaggeration and completely unfounded.
Kingfisher Airlines places the highest emphasis on safety and has grounded the pilots for the purposes of this investifgation.\"

PR department knows its job and now things are a lot more clearer.
