Not all will make the grade

What did happen to that Bae ATP of the new cargo operation?(i think it was called first flight or some such name)
i agree that a lot of the new indian FOs appear to be under the delusion that they are ready for the left seat,and airlines will simply get rid of the all the expats to make way for them.
While some of them will make the grade at say 2500 hrs,the trng set up is not just going to upgrade everyone because they have got an ATPL and completed the hours.
So just when they last expat departs will depend to a large extent on the ground realities regarding safety issues which most trng depts are quite aware of.
