That's quite a good idea: have the indian pilots fly the indian turn-arounds. They are better placed to cope with the gibberish on VHF and deal with the infernal bad manners of the masses climbing over each other on HF, not to mention the bull****-artists amongst the ground-staff after they land.

Someone with local exposure to the culture can better work with the idiotic processes on the ground. And they'll be better at it if the inevitable issues with some of the world-renowned horrible pax that ALWAYS take place get out of hand and they need the capt involved for whatever reason.

Capetown is a looooong flight with plenty of nighttime flying but the S. Africans climb over each other to get it. They can have it!

The French love going to Paris which is arguably a pain in the butt.

People complain about the "rigours" of flying to Australia yet the aussies seem happy enough with it. Leave it to them!

Leave bombay and madras for the indians; they should love it more than anyone else!

Imagine what a boost for morale that would be! We should request one of TCAS's bull**** online polls about it immediately. Even if it was secretly voted against, TCAS could just lie to us again and push it in anyway.
