I think Jat Jet is quite right. ME should look east. Asian controllers are quite cheaper than Western Controllers so they could save quite a big buck if they started recruiting from there. I do not know about training standards (new equipment does not mean better controllers) but if they are the same as some of the crews of certain asian carriers then they leave a lot to be desired. About English, why is it that most asian carriers speak so good Queen's English that they have to say confirm for every instruction they get? Are you sure your Queen's english is better than some non-english Europeans? "not-getting". I think it is a question of averages of good versus not-so good and the overall balance is still in the favor of the latter.
I am sure there are good cricketers down your way but controlling is a bit different don't you think?
