Be afraid, very afraid. No amount of talent will convince me that this remotely enough experience for command of a jet. India's gonna have some smoking holes I'm afraid.
I could not agree more, not only that but having spent time flying in Florida and California where a lot of these people are being trained I'm not convinced they are being trained to a good standard either- a lot seem to have started training without understanding what it means to be a commercial pilot and also are being taught by instructors who themselves just want to build hours and then run off to the US regional airlines.
