Pretty telling of the kind of crew you find in India when "Highly experienced pilots" are those with 1000 hours in the air. They wouldn't let you even touch a caravan with those kind of hours in Africa. And we regularily fly in to far more demanding airfields.

From what I've heard the rush to fill seats is leading to an inevetable increase in accidents and incidents. Just look at Korean Air in the 80's. But I guess the bottom line is all that matters.
