IMO I don't see how people can make the jump directly to jets after getting a CPL. This trend, coupled with inadequate infrastructure is a breeding ground for an aviation disaster waiting to happen. And it's not going to be pretty when it does happen.
I've been reading the same stuff on this forum for some time now. If you think a 200 hour guy flying a jet after the requisite TR and line training will cause an accident - explain to me how the guys coming up for their captaincy now (the one's who flew the shiny 320's and the 737's at 200 hours) haven't buggered up too badly until now ?

The airlines should be hiring the applicant with more experience and then paying for the type rating if they have to, instead of trying to cut costs and selecting recruits on the basis of their bank balance and compromising on safety.
How do you suggest that pilots in India (the 200hr variety) get those hours with no working rights in other countries ?
