#1 India's airlines bought billions of dollars worth of planes and engines this week, but the lightning-paced expansion of the country's aviation sector has triggered a shortfall of pilots, officials warned Wednesday.

With various American airlines in trouble and cutting back, there appears to be a surplus of pilots overhere. Sounds like an outsourcing opportunity to me. Wonder if India has a couple hundred thousand 1HB visas available.

#2 Hopefully they won't use the trademarked Saudi "Quick Pilot Training" course. It teaches pilots to fly, just not how to land.

#5 I've seen pictures of trains loaded to overflowing (Literaly hanging on the outside as many as can) and I sincerely hope that the airlines are not going to cram folks inside like sardines in a can.(Obviously they can't hang on the outside)

No, we will just duct tape ourselves to the top of the aeroplane.
