Avianco, Air India's losses and woes of Indian Pilots
The DGCA is not protecting the interest of Indian Pilots.
There is a certain Pilot Provisioning company AVIANCO registered in Canada but run by Indians including an Ex M.D. of Indian Airlines and staffed by retired DGCA guys, this company makes big bucks on providing Pilots to Air India and the loot is shared all around.
The estimated amount is about 400 crore per annum.
I hope the new Civil Aviation Minister is upright enough not to partake of this loot and eliminate these middlemen. It will be a big step in saving Air India from financial disaster.
