Wow, your knowledge about caste system is astounding
I am not in aviation, but having studied and working in a major company, I know what I am talking about. There are plenty of low caste people who are rich. In fact, since our independence 60 years ago, India reserves 22.5% of seats in all government run/aided schools/colleges for the lower caste people. And same is true in government employment too. And the requirements are relaxed for lower caste people in schools/colleges and employments too.
