Well, in asia it's a different ball game.Normally the route to become a commercial pilot is done via cadet pilot scheme rather than military or private fund cadet pilot.Once we complete training,wo go direct to widebody such as Airbus 330/340 and Boeing 777/747. We bypass props and those narrowbody like 320 and 737. You can see airline such as cathay pacific and singapore airlines practise that.so it's normal if you see people as young as 20 on the RHS on widebody and being a captain at the age of 28.
