OK,back to the thread. I just got the news that the DGCA is seriously considering NOT honouring the pre-signed contracts of all expat copilots.ALL FATA's are being renewed only till May 31st.However,the ministry has taken a very strong stand(kind courtsey Mr Praful Patel,civil aviation minister,who's now related to Vijay Mallya of Kingfisher,thru his daughter's marriage to VJM's son).The stand is very pro expat copilots ie to say that its kind of fair for a change, in its own pyscotic little way.The minister is trying hard to have the rule aplicable for new recruits only.That is to say no fresh expat copilot recruitment from the 1st of June'08 onwards.....but for the time being FATA's are definitely not being renewed beyond May 31st.Kingfisher stands to lose considerably if the rule requires termination of contracts.Besides the numerous court cases that I foresee if this takes shape.....
