4. The key into airlines from shiny CPL (with NO commercial experience) to pretty jet is to remove those with those jobs by forming a union to act as a witch hunt, lobby the government, name names of those they deem not worthy and hence in their birthright job.
Commercial Experience is obtained only after the commercial license. Otherwise you are completely right, thats the key.
In order to protect your job (of course not in as shiny jets as we are talking of), someone else had lobbied long time back... if only USA visa regulations allowed Indian students to to instruct after getting the CFI certificates at US schools, thousands of USA CFI would have been jobless... you are acting like a kid who has a candy and gets perturbed when another one merely tries to get one.. doesn't suit your age and qualifications...
@pree
only 15% are TREs, TRIs.
Most of these 15% have to function more like line captains then TRE/TRI. Why upgrade an Indian F/O if you know in 2-3 years he will leave for SQ, EQ et al.
