i am not gonna put fuel in this fight..just share my experience
i did my initial CPL/IR from states. Instructed there for a while, Instructed in India, ME as well.
I have seen idiots in states,ME, India ,including nfti. Visited nfti few times, know quite a few people working there. nfti still has better standards than other FTO's in India. I know state of some of the other FTO's. the instructors including CFI's know absolutely nothing. Most CFI's in India currently are the guys who could not make to any airline and have survived 2 boom periods.
I am still happy that i did my initial flying from states since apart form FI's, aircrafts, G1000's etc etc , there is a broader picture and that is the aviation culture, the infrastructure, the attitude.
PS- i like when everybody becomes a captain here after CPL..
