Seems like the only way to get into any airline. All the manpower for the left seat is being met by expats right now.

NOT EVEN ONE local captain has decided to join SpiceJet. Pretty soon expats will outnumber the local captains (if they haven't already)putting further strain on their already stretched finances. Is there something the locals know or see that's wrong with this management that the expats don't? I'd dig a little deeper before joining these guys. When I joined them their modus operandi was LCC but not with the flight crew. But now they are making an about face on this sales pitch.

Don't get me wrong, it would be foolish to assume that we should be able to survive with local crew only. But when expats become your ONLY source of hiring rather than them being a form of backup or augmentation you need to sit down and re evaluate your strategy and how you are perceived in the market.
