It's lobbying to loosen the medical standards for pilots in India, which is already in the works....
No one is asking other pilots to conform to corruption, just medical standards! A guy shouldn't be taken out of his job just to be replaced by someone who might also not meet the standards, while the medical standards still exist.
For that matter I find JAR medical renewal standards pretty strict as well, especially in ophthalmology as compard to the FAA, other medical boards and ICAO recommendations....
BTW, it also took u.s a very long time to adopt the 65 age limit rule for pilots flying in u.s carriers.
