Jet Airways................

Why am I not surprised? My first line training sector was out of Delhi. LTC arrives late, rushes to the aircraft, works both pushback and ground on VHF1, and gets annoyed when I tell him after pushback to slow down and repeat all checklists from preflight.

He was astounded that anyone would question his authority. Idiot. I was the Captain. He was merely the line trainer. He was a local. I was merely an expat.

Similar tale with a line check out of Chennai. Indian aviation and the caste system are intertwined. Whole mentality needs changing before real advances can be made.

Anytime Goyal wants to send my bonus payment is fine by me.
