I am okay with the hiring of qualified expat pilots...even recruiting experienced expat upper management. Indians with brains and management talents are swarming top management in NASA, MOTOROLA, NOMURA, CITBANK...in U.S, Europe, M.E Tokyo, and the Far East anyway. You don't get that many talents from the gulf...small poulation.
But replacing corrupt DGCA and Indian govt. officers with expats?? OMG!! what a fun idea though...Let's also rally to replace the Burmese, Sudanese, Somali govt. officials with expats while we are at it! Didn't someone try to do that indirectly in Iraq or something?
By all means hire expat aviation hit-men as advisers and management for tuning the system. As for the DGCA, it's about transparecy. For starters we need a top guy who's clean and commited to corporate governance. I am positive they are plenty of good Indian people to take on that when, and if, the Indian govt. finally decides to make an attempt to clean up the system.
