Referring to some alleged cases of wrong behaviour by expat pilots towards Indian pilots and passengers, NAG directive said: "The safety of our passengers and pilots is of prime importance and these kind of issues cannot be tolerated at all. The expats are also a huge drain on the company's and the nation's finances."
It's interesting that something alleged in one sentence can become a fact by the next sentence as a behavior that cannot be tolerated. The huge drain on the company's and nation's finances would probably not be mentioned if suddenly the local pilot's were on the same salaries. Has anyone in the union given any thought to the ratio of Indian nationals on a typical outbound Jetairways flight going to a foreign country to work to the number of expats on the inbound flights coming to work in India? Compare the amount of remittance sent from abroad into India to what is earned in India by expats and taken home. Don't let yourselves be fooled by a Trump type solution.
