But India's regulators are morons. There is nothing wrong with what he said. I have a friend in the airline industry (who works for indiGo) and he also says the same thing. DGCA is just like the district postal office. its cadres are exam-pass jokers who get transferred around into the department with 0 knowledge about aviation or safety.Yup, this happened.
Gravitas: Boeing's internal documents shows employees insulting India's aviation watchdog
Their only qualification is that they are government employees. Imagine if someone from the Ministry of Agriculture got transferred to the Aviation Ministry or deputed to the DGCA. Since all are central Govt employees, all are treated the same.
Aviation has some ex-Air India captains and auditors who worked 25 years ago on some tech of that era. But today, they are not at all suitable.
