250 hr wonderkids that leaned to fly at a pilot factory at an uncontrolled airport are not ready for a jet! I have prior experience teaching at a pilot facotry that was contracted to teach Indians how to fly and then send them back to go fly a jet. No matter what, they would walk out with a "license to learn"... Thats the nature of a pilot factory. Especially one where the examiners own the school... There is a reason why schools like this get these contracts!
Please let's not bash India's pilots, as someone already mentioned, you are only as good as the training. The UK and many Asian companies use ab Initio students directly entering the Airbus without any problems, flew with one the other day, all aspects of the five hour flight handled well, since it was the first time I had flown with him I congratulated him on a great flight, by the way, how much experience do you have? The answer was 800 TT. I couldn't even spell airplane when I had that much flying time.
