I witnessed the first 2 years of the airline boom in India from up close.
Just to mention an add from a 2005 Delhi daily:
"Now anybody can fly for 500 Rupees (less than 10 EUR at that time)."
Another header from the same daily a couple of years latter:
"24 year old captain with a 19 year old F/O"
Unfortunately you get what you pay for.
Many airlines from all major alliances only reveal the operator of certain flights at a stage when if not impossible, it is at least a hassle to change your route or booking.
2009 was the first year in the 21st century when human error became again the top factor in commercial aviation accidents/incidents.
Unfortunately the SLF will have to pay the "BLOOD TAX" more often if they do not act in a timely and decisive manner to stop the likes of O'Leary, Malya and Fernandez and a million uneducated, corrupt and inefficient people from Developing and Developed countries from further
diminishing the importance of the job of professional pilot.
