NGExpat, I truly empathise with your situation. Half baked reporters and over enthusiasitc captains have taken down complete airlines in India (Remember Alliance Air), petty politics is pretty common amongst pilots in India. I'd say take a deep breath and sue the hell out of the airline that denied you the basics of honoring a contract.
What shocked me more than the age limit 60-65 being talked about is that India has captains who are under 30. How does that make sense? You can trust someone with 2000hrs TT but not someone who has 10000hrs++ TT... Wierd.
Godspeed and hope to see you in the skies soon enough.

Hello Mr Getsetgo,
Just wondering,why all the fuss of flying on one kidney.In my country,the medical board considers it perfectly normal for a pilot to continue his normal flying ops with one solo kidney.Provided he comes up with some satisfactory tests.Just wondering,why all this fuss....

I agree with Nev. You ought to sue this reporter for not getting his facts straight.
Honestly folks, journalists worldwide are causing havoc everythwere. I support their right and intest to report but there ought to be accountability. 40% of the Global Meltdown was caused by over-hyped, senstionalized journalism.
There are too many newspapers, too many news channels, hence too many hack reporters just looking for a story... any story. I treat them all like I do OPEC. We need them but I restrain my participation in their products. The world broke the back of OPEC by finally cuttingback demand. The same should be done to media.
Get your news, then shut the tube off. Let the advertisers pull their funds and see how many new organizations stick around. The only trustwrothy media outlet left is probably the AP.

You're joking, right? Zero chance. I don't even know where you'd start
to do something like that over here. Wonder what class of entry visa he'd have to apply for to come in and testify? The general public, the DGCA, and - frankly - the court itself would all be stacked against him. Even if he won, collecting damages would be next to impossible. C'mon ...
