These Air India "Chuck Yeager" pilots should go straight to Bollywood. They should monetize their overly-dramatic flair...

I was unaware that the caste system was alive and well in Indian aviation? Simply ridiculous. We all read that article a few months back about how the sons/daughters of senior 777 pilots were planning on 787 type ratings. How do you say "severe nepotism" in Hindi? Sure, it is a cultural thing.

I guess the Indian Airlines Airbus pilots don't have the skill to fly a highly-automated 787. I wonder how those sacked AI pilots feel now? Wonder if EK or QR would even bother with them given their job-related firings?
