The contract world is definitely the wild wild west of pilot quals. Both Asian carriers i flew for seemed to do a pretty good job filtering out the chaff during line training. Good, but probably not perfect. The high dollars promised in China really brought out the chaff. This subject comes up every now and then on PPRUNE. I am always shocked that their are a few pilots who defend fakers. Any pilot that defends one, is fake himself. No pilot that spent 5-35 years of time and effort to become a real pilot would defend some douchebag Parker Penned Hero. PERIOD.
