Nevrekar that was a very well written post and I sincerely appreciate that.There have been many incidents in the past involving countries where they favoured local talent over experience and had in some cases had to pay very dearly for it.I really won't got into the details now but the fact that Spice Jet had 3 wrong runway landings with it's limited fleet and limited years of operation does not speak very well of the airline's safety record.I certainly support the view that local talent should be given priority but that should only be after stringent systems have been put in place.The moment you put national pride first , you are asking for trouble.Having said that the selection process of expats should be equally stringent.The DGCA as regulatory authority should ensure that such process' have been put in place.
