The reality is where else in the world would a very inexperienced low hour pilot with 250 hours total get a First Officers job on an A320 or B737?
Wake up and smell the coffee. Everywhere else in the world to obtain an F/O's position in an airline flying jets you require between 3000 - 5000 hours. This is more experience than the majority of the F/O's upgrading to Captain in India.
My feeling is the attitude of some of the 20 year olds with 250 hours flying jets needs a total readjustment! The term flying I use very lightly as their hands on skills certainly don't match their self claimed expertise or elevated egos.
This is a little harsh I know, don't get me wrong there are a lot of young level headed, good handling pilots out there.
My feeling is all these inexperienced pilots should start on turbo props. Not that the turbo prop is any easier to fly, it will give them good handling and experience to move up to a jet.
I speak from experience being a current examiner in an Indian Airline.
Happy Landings.
