Why would DGCA want to still keep this rule? It surely doesn't seem to serve the interest of any airline, more so,
its not DGCA rule, but PRESIDENT OF INDIA"s order
(15+yrs back was issued by top ,when no other airlines existed,
and other airlines came 5 years back are taking advantage of this order and miss using it)
this order was
to stop pilots & ENGG's from LEAVING INDIAN AIRLINES , AIR INDIA & Alliance air.
