May God give their families strength to overcome their respective catastrophic losses. What intrigued me was why did the Air India Management recruit a Serbian or as some sources claim a Russian Pilot? Don't we have enoughh Pilots in India? Or was the appointment of a non-Indian meant to cut costs? A probe on the recruitment of non-Indian Pilot may be required. Oscar C. Lobo Melbourne.
