These guys are barely able to keep up with the growth. I doubt that they will take on the additional burden of medicals for the 800 odd expat pilots in India. It's their choice I guess. They will just be shooting themselves in the foot. My friends at Spice tell me the guy(Ranga something) that was the cause of NGExpat and another guy to lose their FATA actually also lost his medical as well. So if he can't fly, why allow others to? This is the same guy who thinks he is some kind of aviation expert (in his own mind). He was responsible for shutting down a perfectly good engine on the NG b/c he thought he had a fuel leak. He actually had an imbalance which he was told about, and chose to ignore it. Spicejet fired him and so now he leaks stuff to the press to suit his agenda.
