Fly Safe.
@freeagle in Latin America you can have a Type Rating without any training on type and fly till you crash
Here is the case of 2008 Mexico city Learjet crash

Pilot Martín Olíva and co-pilot Álvaro Sánchez were not certified to operate the Learjet 45. The investigation concluded that both pilots had received fraudulent certifications: Captain Olíva lied about the number of training flights he had made, and had issues on the few training flights he did complete, while Captain Sánchez lied about being a Learjet 45 instructor. Both men had taken advantage of a corrupt system to get false training documents and some unsigned Learjet 45 certification forms from their flight schools. These revelations led Mexican authorities to suspend the licences of both flight schools.

I don't think it worth to bring to Europe pilots like the guys above just for some companies to keep the salaries low
