VT , as much as you try to justify your line of thinking as not racist, I'm sorry it is .
rac·ism/ˈrāˌsizəm/
noun
the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
Comparing an Indian pilot's ability to demonstrate competency and credentials versus say a "first" world pilot to a watch made in china v Switzerland is racist and unbalanced.You say perception, I say racist and it fits the above definition perfectly.
It means an Indian pilot would have to work very hard to constantly prove his/her credentials and standards whereas a first world pilot is entitled to have a bad day just because of what his/her passport's colour is. If you or your company "perceives" applicants and employees based on their country's corruption index or investment scams rather than on individual merit , God help those poor third world pilots .
Happy flydubaiing folks
