The biggest problem facing Indian aviation today is the lack of experienced pilots.The sooner the DGCA , airline management and the travelling public realise it the better.You can't throw out expats for the colour of their skin and you can't upgrade Indians for the colour of their skin.Right now in India , if you have an ATPL , you're a Captain.I think that practise should stop before more people get hurt.It's time we went back to the good old days when you needed at least 4,000 hours and at least 2,000 hours on a jet aircraft to become a Captain.And not to forget , you should be able to pass the selection process and skill test as well.
