Desi pilot post 229
What I guess the reason for lowering education standards ……..
May be experience and feed back coming from various agencies like ATC, OPERATORS AND OTHER TECHNICAL BODIES about the use of radio during last five years or so as pilots are coming from all over the globe during this time.

Or the chances of forged papers (lack of transparency)
I do recognize foreign RTs, but DGCA may not be sure on the authenticity of the document.
You got your RTR you are lucky after 13 years, probably instructor knew your capabilities and did not wanted to waste time on what he was doing with other candidates (good professional
)
