My interview scenario has
nothing to do with the FLYING ABILITY of local pilots, nor racism, you can teach a monkey to fly for all I care.
But, there are very good reasons why mostly (Asian Airlines) including CXit has been hiring expats, again not for their (sic) exceptional flying skills
but rather to flatten hierarchy in the cockpit (sorry ladies, fright deck) and thereby eliminating all the loss of face BS, and saving a few airframes and lives:

So does Western Culture and a steep bone headed stubbornness Hierarchy, that have led to a number of high profile prangs.
The reason Asian airlines need to look at expats is thanks to their superior national economies they don't have the time or money to waste faffing around with the nonsense that is general aviation flight training.
That's why hired help is brought from other countries to temporarily backfill so that training of highly talented local cadets can be done before the expats bugger off back to their homes - if they haven't ended up causing a mishap like the French gentleman at Air Asia.
Am I doing this right?
