I was supposed to be in India this past November as an FO. I have been waiting around for a PC as nobody was willing to pay for it... Last week when the jerkoffs in India agreed to pay for my PC (it only took since August to figure this out), the DGCA banned all expat FO's. Oh well, I am now going to CA upgrade anyday now instead (so I am being told)...
From what I hear, the local FO's are real winners! They cant do ANYTHING! Trust me I know from previous experience as I was probably their flight instructor a few years ago...
