Seems like you might be about 40% down on the numbers of qualified, professional pilots should you hold the discussion in Pakistan
The Problem of bogus flying qualifications is well known among recruiters outside the counties where these licenses are issued.
Most are discovered during the hiring process, by admin staff, perhaps not all, I don’t know . Echoing the experience of a previous poster; some candidates are barely able to fly relatively simple exercises during recruitment
Simulator sessions.
Their ability does not match stated experience by a long shot , are their licenses bogus, or is it simply a lack of ability or both ? .
I hasten to add this does not apply to all candidates from the region but sufficient numbers appear to give cause for concern .
