At AI the FO's are, at best, given 3-5 take offs and landings a year. Some a lot more, others even less. The omniscient "Commander" will more than likely take all sectors. I do know that expat Capts will be more willing to "give flying" to the FO as that is what they are accustomed to do. The local guys are "accustomed" to a different ideology.
Spot on. Its a big problem. Pilots from the UK, USA, Ausi etc don't understand how bad the situation is unless they've been there. There are many people flying jets who actually couldn't take off and land one on their own. Sad but true.
