Delhi to investigate 4500 pilot licences

Delhi to investigate 4500 pilot licences News.com.au
"EVEN the most cavalier passengers knew something was amiss onboard IndiGo airlines' January 11 flight from Goa when it landed with a terrifying, lurching thud - nose wheel first - on the New Delhi tarmac.

The flight's captain, Parminder Kaur Gulati, may have been the only one that day to see nothing awry in the unconventional and perilous landing.
A subsequent investigation determined she had done it 15 times before. More distressing still was the discovery that Ms Gulati, 38, had failed one of her pilot exams and then forged her results to obtain her licence.
'Only a woman could do it,'' read an ensuing headline - one of several predictable joke lines that followed, besmirching women drivers."
