This is confirming my point: All those Indian students rushing in Flight Training School with only in mind the cost, come back home and are useless because their training was of too poor quality and also because they were not selected and probably not suitable for the Job.
SELECTION:
In Thailand for example only a quarter of the students get through the Thai Royal Medicine test (Not only Medical but all the psycho battery) and Airlines are selecting amidst them and TG takes 1/8 of those rescapees....In Europe similar ratios can be found. Even, now in Middle East the selection begin to be strict
TRAINING
The FAA system is insufficient in itself for producing a First Officer. Major US Airlines require experience and University Credentials or a sound military experience. The only Ab initio scheme conducted during Clinton era has failed in 2000. (Delta Academy if I remember was doing the experience)
More, some countries training under this scheme are under the standard. (Civil Aviation system in Philippines recently downgraded for example)
The lack of selection and the poor training are to be condemned as the roots of this situation. We can predict that Banks will react and stop to deliver loan in a short while as they will be unable to recover their money from most of students.
