Oh please, most of the guys and gals I know who have trained in India have ATLEAST 30 hrs of flying prior to getting their commercial ticket.

And yes it bothers me to no end that I am called Captain despite being an FO.

I was at CME a couple of years ago and this young guy... maybe 19-20 was demanding something from someone on the other end of the line and called himself captain so and so. So once he was done we got chatting and I discovered the guy had a GRAND TOTAL of ZERO hrs and was there for his initial medical before he started his flying.

Only in India.
