Rewind a little,
The point being made was that a small number of pilots from the same country were let go recently. By all accounts their ability in the SIM did not match their experience (on paper). Further investigations revealed discrepancies in their paperwork and the pilots were terminated (not literally).
Now, apart from a post from Blue system, who posted something which was rather unkind, divisive and yes, even racist, the thread is just reflecting the issue I make reference to.
However, this is not the first time something like this has happened here at FZ. I am happy to be corrected on this, but a similar situation occurred 4-5 years ago, with pilots from the very same country.
A quick google search will reveal a plethora of articles relating to pilots in India with fake licenses. Most of these articles are written by Indian newspapers, is that racist? Now, if the Indian government and the DGCA admit that this is an issue, why is this subject taboo on a pilot forum?
"In the wake of the fake pilot scare, licenses of 3,000 to 4,000 pilots are being scrutinised by the DGCA," said Civil Aviation secretary Nasim Zaidi.
