hello
yup it's still a rumor that these new requirements might come up for the purpose of receny....
what I personally think that if someone is planning to go for a recency then they should probably wait for a month or so or else they might again end-up doing a lot of extra "useless" flying if DGCA asks them to fly according to their new norms viz..test in India etc...(Because by looking at the above posts, its very obvious that DGCA doesn't really bother about the money we have to spend for their irregularities and lack of communication in issuing new rules)
And on part of Mr. V.P.Singh, he is really a one of the few good guys in the DGCA..and the reason he is posted back to the Licensing Dept. is only because of his past clean record (I don't understand why people just shoot-off with their little knowledge about something without any solid reason to back their cause.....I wonder why a person who was previously transferred from a dept. on the ground of misconduct or corruption would be again hired back to the same dept.)
And yes, going to Mr. D.C.Sharma for the matter would be ideal as he is "supposedly" to be the senior in the Licensing Dept.
