Just before heading to bed...
where did you see that recruitment policy of only hiring indians and filipinos?
There is nothing new here. They go for cheaper where they may find them. This is common practice here and elsewhere. Among those applying, they will find some suitable guys because they will also make them "suitable".
Unfortunately this means the Westerners, Australians, New Zealanders and Japanese may find it difficult to accept the offered TCs. Rest assured that the big majority of the top guys won't be from the Sub-Continent or from the Far East and their TCs won't be so bad; high paid slave-drivers and the others. That's life...
