They all have issues with lack of PIC skills. Which even if your going in as an FO you do need in the none shiny end of aviation.

Some of the European intigrated schools have a different philosophy with regards to hour building and send them off on international tours which the students get to choose where they are going and get sent off after being authorised some times for 2-3 days.

Quite how they do this legally I don't know.

There is also issues with training for test, its not uncommon for them not to have a clue how to fly a DME arc and have never done one.

You get a pilot in from say Airways Exeter and they will hand fly an arc and never a fart in fear.
