JimmyGill, i understand your anger but these guys are right. And there is no point in bashing each other on an internet forums, nothing will change.....
Indian aviation is very much corrupt so this matter is not really a surprising one. Many of us airline pilot here in India are well aware of this kinda situations and there are even more worst things going on within the industry. The unemployed pilot situation is going out of control, each year the thousands are adding up and its very much clear that some of these thousands will never make it as pilots even if the hiring picks up.
And also the unemployed pilots will be more concerned about finding a job than to waste their time looking for pilots who got in with influence or this flying on fata. Even if they do there wont be much hope in this corrupt system, NO offense to the unemployed pilots in India but you guys have no power at all and cant change anything less inside the system because you haven't even got into it in the first place.
