The recruitment criteria for most Western airlines is strongly biased towards not just technical competence but also ability to operate without direct supervision, acceptance of ,and compliance with , a rules based operational environment and high personal standards. Plus an ability to work with and listen to others. The ability to send a crew off on a multi day mission in charge of a multi million dollar asset is an achievement that I still am awe struck by. How you replicate that is the problem.
