Two Air India A320 Pilots Suspended For License Breaches

Two Air India pilots have been taken off of flying duty after they operated Airbus A320 flights without meeting mandatory license and compliance requirements. In one case, a senior captain flew with a lapsed English Language Proficiency (ELP) endorsement (a requirement for flying pretty much anywhere). In the other situation, a first offer flew without completing the required corrective training after an unsatisfactory recurrent instrument rating and overall proficiency check.
