well, i don't want to comment about the better opportunities part, which is
left to each individual.

Gopal wrote everything that i typed out and didn't send out :)

Andreas,  you can ask for the SR to be worked on your time zone by calling
the local support number or updating your SR.

Perhaps, there are two reasons:

1. Handover on Sev1 SRs in Oracle is next to nothing so it takes people in
BLR hours to get up to speed.

Proper handover takes time, efforts and, actually, proper skills. I
experienced that situation myself being on the same side of barricades as
Oracle support. At Pythian we provide remote DBA service to our customers
and with main office in Canada we have small offices in India, Australia and
now in the UK. There are cases when we have to follow up the issue round the
clock (call them our Sev1 even though they are usually caused by other
factors like Oracle bugs, hardware failures and etc). It's absolute
requirement to make proper handover in order to get the case "following the
sun" and have customers pleased with its progress. Fortunately, we do have
the tools to do so and we are not limited by any factors like Oracle's
policy of unpublished support material. Customer must see everything related
to his business and I see this as big flaw in Oracle support model.

2. Best people tend to flow to better places.

In this case, as Gopal mentioned, best engineers are moved to HQ which is
typically considered a more pleasant place to live and to have better career
opportunities.
