DGCA Expat Phase-Out

[jimmygill]

Dear Friends,

I am starting this thread to invite inputs from pilots from India on the DGCA Deadline on Expat phaseout. We all know that DGCA had extended the Expat phaseout deadlines and how it is going to impact the career progression and first officer hiring in coming years.

Here I propose start an Right to Information campaign by we which we will demand information from Ministry of Civil Aviation on the expat-phaseout plans.

I will like you all to suggest queries to be put in the RTI request.

First few queries are


1. Statistics of FATAs issued by DGCA in tabular format for past Three years

Year, Month, Operator, FATA-Number, Original Country, Nationality, Date and Validity


2. Copy of orders requiring expat phaseout

3. Copy of the phase-out plans submitted by airlines/operators

4. Copy of the DGCAs audit of these phase-out plans if any

5. Copy of the reasons cited for postponing the phase-out deadlines

6. ...

Please suggest other ministeries/authorities where a pertinent RTI Application can be filed, like the ministry issuing work VISA etc..

You can put forward any other issue you think may have unjustifiably affected your employment or career prospetcs.


Cheers All
