Maybe there was a time when getting a pilots' license required one to have above average abilities but not any more. I have heard people talking about how tough the DGCA pilots' exams are. This really disappoints me. I hear that FAA exams are even less challenging! How is it even possible to make exams easier than DGCA ones? Pilot licenses are for sale. Anyone who has the money and is not retarded(ummm?) can get one. Result? Mass unemployment.
I have never met any group of people more self-deluded than CPL holders in India. They have no jobs, no future, no standing in society and they still think they are special just because they have a CPL. And the more dumb ones have the greatest arrogance.
It is sad that such mockery has been made of this profession.
Apologies for the rant but i have been wanting to get this out for a long time.
