You see thats the funny thing about Indian aviation.They dont tackle the right and fundamental problem..ie,no base training and app/landing training for new pilots yet they want to be seen as tough so they go spectacularly overboard and revoke this Captains licence.So its okay for newly released co-pilots with no back-up(3rd pilot) to act as competent P2 without being able to land(or dare I say it even fly the thing) yet this infringement, whilst unwise, merits a sacking and revocation of licence????When you sign someone off,surely you are saying he/she is competent as P2..ie,he/she can take over in event of P1 incapacitation and at the very minimum effect a safe landing.The DGCA says this isnt important.A plane can fly with a Captain and a P2 who is takeoff/land restricted and with no safety pilot in the event P1 kicks the bucket.They cant see the forrest for the trees.Kind of like saying you can kill someone with that gun but make sure your gun licence is valid...
