Personally, I think this might actually be good for us long run. The DGCA has been rudely woken up out of its slumber to among many things, hire some(a lot) full time FOI's to monitor and provide oversight of flight operations in India.
Why is it difficult to obtain FOI's with relevant qualifications and experience to join the DGCA. It's about pay and contracts , would a 55 year old examiner on a boeing or Airbus be more interested in joining the DGCA on a measly 1 or 3 year contract with govt. babu pay and perks
or stay at an airline where he/she is in increasing demand and prospects getting better in the years to come. remember , pay peanuts , get monkeys
DGCA & the ministry needs to realize that their conduct and actions or inaction affect themselves and gone are the days where their performance will never be questioned. The great Indian circus sorry media always loves to hype it up as well and show how air travel has become so dangerous that the US has downgraded us
....
it looks bad I know but this was needed if we need to get aviation to a world standard and hopefully they'll get the message loud and clear , in he meantime fly safe and
Masalama
