Hi,
I don't agree with much of your posts as many of the expat FOs dont even have a type rating and pay for one to get the job in India.Whats more their so called 1000 hrs of experience is doubtful as many of them dont really exhibit that kind of experience on the job...but yes the DGCA has really made a mess of things ..but they are not the only ones...the aviation ministry et al...but the biggest culprit...CORRUPTION....as an example...I just heard that you can buy your pass mark in the DGCA CPL exam....it's a bit high but when the results are out YOU PASS....now thats the actual state of affairs...hope the Civil Aviation ministry snoop man is reading this post...it's high time they do something about this....bad enough to have many unemployed pilots..worse still to have unemployed unsafe pilots....
