GUYS COMEONN .. !
Ask any FOs (atleast in IT and 9W) who would they prefer as their P1 ?
Am sure the 1st name to be spelt out would be an Expat.. !
And the next would be an Indian who s been flying for a long time !
Definitely not the guys(indian) who ve just got upgraded.. !
Though these guys do fly the plane very well(Excellent Pilots) ! No Doubt !
When it comes to teaching .. Its the expats..!
Guys they(expats) are much more seasoned and experienced in terms of exposure ?
By Experience and Exposure .. I am not refering FBW or EFIS.. It starts all the way from being an CFI-> Charter Operations -> Regional -> Major !
So they have dealth with a lot more different situations than we did !
So their teaching techniques and CRM and the way they make a Young and Aspirational F/Os like me comfortable is Awesome.
All Expats may not be as mentioned above .. but most of them i ve seen are !
Expats are needed to bridge the Experience Difference that prevails in Indian Aviation Industry but at a Moderated Level !
And EXPATS if you dont like India Plz stop Complaining and Get out !
If you do like this place .. Enjoy your stay and Happy Landings
