would you fly a jet made in India?

Apparently pilots in India would fly jets made in India, which is the point. If I read the post correctly, in order to sell the jets to India, the Indian government is requiring the manufacturing to be done locally. So, if companies don't stand up plants there, they won't make the sale to India, which means the aircraft wouldn't be made in the USA either way. But, if they do locate the assembly plants there, how many American jobs result due to manufacturing of components in America, as well as the continued material supply and component repair support that will be required for years to come after the sale is made?
