guys,
for those of you who think that airlines are NOT doing enough to upgrade FOs to capts, let me tell you it is so not true! most of the airlines (if not all) are doing their best to upgrade copilots.
airlines have started expanding again and the reality is that there are not enough capts available! so we will see more exapts (capts) flying for jet, spice, indigo and KF atleast for the next 3-6 years...
the reality is that india as of now is not ready to do away with expats...not for the next 3 years atleast
cheers,
