Age has little to do with it, experience and maturity has every thing to do with it. So if we consider the 25 year old captain who has say for the last 5 years flown ILS airfield to ILS airfield just what experience does he or she have to pass on to the new young FO. Sweet F.A. so it really does come down to training. Perhaps someone who operates in India could enlighten us all to the standard of training there. Companies like ryr, easy, etc rely on strict, intensive and seemly every changing sop's to try and keep out of trouble, do Indian airlines copy this practice or is the industry just to young there to have managed to get this level yet. I do understand that there has been a huge influx of experienced western pilots into the area over the last few years, perhaps the experience they bring will be enough to ensure that a safe operation can be achieved.
