12 Biman's Pilots are forgetting to fly airplanes

For two months 12 highly skilled airplane pilots and first officers are not being able to fly any flying machines in Bangladesh. They were trained to fly Boeing-737 in Australia and Singapore. And now they are spending lazy time. Airplane shortage and miss planning of the authority led to this problem. Pilots are saying if they have to wait for the authority to bring airplanes on dry lease they might forget flying and their career might be destroyed as well. It was planned earlier to bring airplanes on dry lease instead of wet lease which was proven to be lose making last time. Pilots were told that they will see planes ready for them as soon as they have finished their training. And now 2 months have passed with no progress. Moreover, Most of 72 engineers and 5 instructors are also facing similar luck.

Planning department's spokesperson claimed that there was no mistake in planning the problem was with authorities slow decision making. Current decision is, until Boeing-737 is leased (4 months) the pilots will be transferred to other planes. One of the pilots objected this decision and said it is not possible to transfer DC-10 pilots to other planes, But grounds engineers can be transferred.
