All they really need to do is setup a roadshow or booth in ANY 2nd or 3rd world…. or the Philippines… and voila…. I honestly don't see an issue with this and to me, the numbers do add up.
Have heard from a trainer one a recent flight that some of the new joiners get warning letters while in training and a select few have received Final warning letters before graduating to the level of Grade 2.
So…. Me thinks the quality is not there… but the numbers will always be there.
