Tup, i admire your resilence, and patience in explaining things on this thread.
My opinion is that the main problem is systemic, with the DGCA, Minister, Ministry, a crap of a flag carrier.
The last i heard is that the going DGCA rate for a basic R/T licence is Rs. 45,000-60,000, if you have no connections.
The pilots just dont have a proper system, role model , or example to follow yet. It is evolving slowly due to some talented locals and professional expats, as well as the private carriers. But not fast enough to catch up with the aviation world, or the impending economic boom.
So, when things are difficult, and, there is no solution, its time to blame someone. This is i assure you, a world wide phenomenon.
May i introduce you to Adrian Adrago, last years Booker prize winner and his novel White Tiger. A good read to understand the system.
