Frustration levels
Okay let me clear something about local pilots in india first, there are approx 40-50 of us on b737 with almost 10000 hrs of experience, dont you think it is our turn to fly the widebodies?????
Secondly regarding the the quote above "LOYAL CUSTOMERS and PAYING PASSENGERS", wouldnt the passengers like to know that they were flying with pilots whose frustration levels were peaking, and incidently these was showing in the DFDR recordings with a dramatic increase in hard landings and small incidents.
Thirdly, let me ask any american or european here, can we as indians come to your country and fly as senior captains ahead of all the other pilots flying there - obviously not. We have nothing against expats, its just that why put them ahead of people of our own country??/
And lastly India being a democratic country, we are exercising our "right to form an association" written under the constitution of india.
It is for these reasons it was decided to form a union and to get our demands met and make our airline a safer and more employee friendly airline.
