and from the cadre of Indian pilots who have been for long complaining about the presence of the expat pilot
I'm sure there are some people in the DGCA that feel that way (I've met a couple!), but the numbers in the rank-and-file line pilots are pretty small, I think. An earlier poster used the word "capricious", which seems to be appropriate. I think the trend in a shrinking aviation economy would be to ease us (expats) out, but it's certainly not overwhelming yet. Much of the "pressure" is relieved by some of us moving on / out voluntarily, which has been happening since July. I can't say what's going on over at Jet - don't know anybody over there.
