That's already done by the DGCA apparently. Not directly, but by the DGCA's new regulation requiring foreign pilots to have a minimum of 250 hours on type before they can work in Indonesia. This new ruling apparently was targeted at Lion's P2F program because Lion preferred to hire P2F people, over local graduate pilots because they don't have to pay P2F a salary. Local Indonesian pilots, many of whom with connections to the government, lobby the DGCA to put an end to this. Consequently, Lion has now stopped their P2F program with Eagle Jet.
