Safety
Just a thought, but shouldn't the best and more experienced crews be those selected for operations such as B777 Delhi-JFK? The report suggests a combination of incompetence and inexperience in the front 2 seats of this particular near-disaster. With a consequent cover-up to boot.
I fear that nepotism over-rules ability-based qualification for "good" jobs in many countries like India and in many airlines similar to Air India. I am being direct and politically incorrect here, but am by no means having a pop at AI specifically. I just believe that the democratic systems in place in major US/North European/Antipodean carriers have little or no place for nepotism. Their safety records reflect this.
