Sorry for the redneck comments. I take it back. It was a generalization, and I know no one likes to read that.
But I fly with these guys from these countries and they are the first to admit the standard in these countries is much lower than Hong Kong, or the Western World. And i have seen it first hand. And I have also seen some fantastic pilots from each of those places also. But as a generalization. I stand by my comment.
Im not saying that individuals from these countries can not come up to standard because they can.
By the way. I am Asian.
This thread is about HKA and the pitfalls of working there. Just read it all then make your decision.
