I agree with you soap cow Boy.These days it is very easy to fly anything in this part of the world and Middle East with barely minimum hours.Even companies like Gulf Air,Emirates,Etihad,Oman Air,Qatar Airways and not to mention low cost carrier like Arabia,Jazeera,Fly Dubai, etc..Four years ago Gulf Air employed quite a few First officers from Belgium & France flying aircrafts like ATR 42,etc.,and they were automatically qualified to fly A330 & A320 .Now it's quantity not quality.
