Quite agree. Nothing at all fancy about flying into Kabul. It's just an airport.

You say that handling the aeroplane is the "easy part"
Not any more it would seem. Pretty much all the recent disasters have been handling issues. 10000 Airbus translates as "can't fly anymore"
That is where the TP guys have a major strength. They have yet to forget how to fly.

General

These airlines value decent training of a decent product. Exactly what Emirates could do with TP pilots.

Frankly I'm amazed by the stereotype belief that pilots who never qualified under the old 2000hrs Airbus rule are somehow not worthy of Emirates.

I could make a similarly fallacious statement that all the pilots at Emirates are not good enough for decent legacy airlines in western countries, otherwise why would they be out in the sandpit.

There are a thousand reason why a decent pilot could be a TP pilot just as there are a thousand circumstances leading to a decent pilot ending up at Emirates.
