Training Pilots
With every Training Capatain that goes earlier then 65 years of age a potential of Trained Indian Pilots goes as well. He does not fly to train them means that the Indian Pilots do not get the reqiured expirience to get rid of the ExPats as they wish. Think what you wish. Other Regions in the World had the same problem before, there is nothing new. You cannot buy expirience, you can just gain it thru time. Indians have time I have been told, do they have patience as well? Growth is there and if You look to Australia a few Years back they had not enough Jobs as well available so the Pilots where flying any Junk to keep the Skills high and do not loose connection to it, Did they got paid for flying? Not enough, some of them flew for free. Time will tell. God forbitt that the price will be a fatal loss before the arrogance calms down and the staedy growth is done with common sense and without the eager of a National pride, could be arrogance as well. The Border between the two is thinn as the Ice the Young Aviators stand on.
I am happy for every fellow who makes into a seat. It is natural that the Candidate from the right seat intents to move left, that takes some time, more the many people think. To "Command" as the Indians state that is a wide range of responsibility. Matured Pilots get that faster then some Hot-shots who fly faster in the previous carreer...........
Fly safe and land happy
