Pilot poaching: Is India's request valid?

On average in India, a senior First Officer earns about ₹5 lakh a month. At Emirates or Etihad, it’s ₹10 lakh rupees, tax-free, plus free housing and free schooling for up to 3 children. In the US, the same job can get you ₹17 lakh a month. That's almost two and a half times what they get in India.
