I think I see this whole issue far differently than most respondents....
No "professional pilot" wants to brown nose, bribe, or kiss arse to get the job done, but In india...one HAS to....
What exactly is 'getting the job done' ? Bribing officials to expedite the issue of a license ? Bribing the right person in an airline to secure your first job ? I'm just curious because you come here, openly admit to have committed a crime and then have the gall to ask what the big deal is !
As a "professional pilot", does it make u less professional if you pay a bribe, brown nose or kiss arse.
It kind of does...
One question
Is it worse to ask about robbing a bank....or to actually rob the bank.
That's a kind of silly analogy. Both you and the topic starter have admitted that you've bribed someone , ergo - the 'bank' has already been 'robbed'.
