What does it mean when the teacher flunks the exam he’s teaching?
What does it mean when three teachers flunk the exam they’re teaching?
Three Jet Airways examiners flunked the DGCA exam, Manoj Manha and M. Shain had “inadequate subject knowledge” of the Airbus they are purported to be experts of and Anupam Khanna was “casual” and “lacking in cockpit discipline.” Manha and Shain will be continuing as examiners after corrective training.
The deficiency casts a shadow on all of those whose expertise was qualified by Manha, Shain and Khanna.
It means that if the DGCA is going to follow through and maintain standards, every person qualified by these examiners (or otherwise taught by them) is scrutinized and retested.
Can pilots be deemed competent when they have been trained by incompetents?
At their busiest time of the year, a three day British Airways walkout has forced BA to cancel thousands of flights. The strike is protesting a pay freeze in 2010, a switch to part-time work for 3,000 staff and a reduction in cabin crew sizes from 15 to 14. Picket lines are forming in London; and British Airways is apparently not interested in negotiating with the union. If an agreement is not reached, a four-day walkout is planned to begin March 27.
