Well there is some truth in the article.
But i guess the HR guys are to be blamed for recruiting sub standard guys.

In any field, when 'mass production' becomes the order of the day, Quality suffers. Indian aviation is no exception. Flying institutes that 'log' should be totally banned & their license revoked. And if these private airlines expect a fresh CPL holder to perform in a modern jet's cockpit coming in directly from a single piston engine Cessna, they have only themselves to blame. The least these airlines can do is make twin engine experience/endorsement mandatory!
Am sure that though it is not the only solution, it would certainly help make the transition as a co-pilot onto a modern jet aircraft easier and would also help in controlling the Captain's B.P.
