I think it's been stated before, this topic was about phasing out expats.

What we have here is stone throwing and banter as to the merits of experience versus local patriotism.

If the Airlines need experience they should be allowed to source it where needed. The Airlines employs expats for that reason. We are contracted to do our work professionally and without any encumbrance to the operation. We do the work, do not create industrial action and don't call in sick to suit our schedules.

I witnessed chaos last Diwali as people called in sick as little as two hours before a rostered flight.

I have seen this behaviour on a smaller scale take place in my previous Airline in the West but these individuals are subject to discipline if they cannot support their actions.

The Airlines management also needs to improve methods of working with aircrew but should also be supported by DGCA when justifying their requirement for experience and quality when manning their fleets.

Until that criteria is satisfied the expats should be retained.
