Passing an ATPL exams doesn't not make one capable of becoming a captain. I currently fly as a capt in India and the fo's are so inexperienced that they don't even have a clue how poorly they fly. They can quote the SSOP's and FCOM, but when it come to important, real world skill, 95% are severaly lacking. Believe me, when the expats are finally pushed out, there will be bent and broken airplanes in India. I have been a capt on 3 continents and can honestly say that the majority of Indian fo's are years away from being capable commanders.
