(No airline would hire a 250hr CPL to fly their multi-million aircraft! )(A fulsome wishful quote from a previous poster.)
Isn't the reason that third world airlines do precisely that, one reason for the creation and existence of Airbus Industries? Aircraft designed to fly by law, by wire and by computer. Machines that fly with anything other than intelligent human input?

Air Mauritius
I do not know much about Air Mauritius but i agree with your views Pilot Breezy. I recall when i completed my training in the US and i was looking for instructing work, some of the flight schools told me that they only hire their locals.
It didn't bother me because it's something i totally understand as its the norm in my adoptive country and some of the other first world countries. Infact countries like Nz and Oz were they have strong labor unions and pilot associations, the carriers over their have to justify to the government and the union why they have to hire a foreigner over a local.
It's only in African where most carriers tend to quickly want to hire foreigners over their locals. Point example a carrier which neighbors Mauritius they wanted to hire foreign Captains beginning of this year but the Pilot local union took the carrier to court.

For me Air Mauritius should hire and train fresh 250 hrs CPL holders as FO on their A320s fleet too like Air France do. And may be they could hire them on A330/40 as Second Officer like Cathay Pacific..This will give more opportunity to young mauritians pilots.

Hobo, thank you; and many, many more airlines!
And cavorting... with proper selection and training, those 250 hour pilots can even fly Boeings!

There's nothing inherently wrong with a 250 hour greenhorn trying to fly anything except perhaps a tail dragger. The less attractive scenario however is when that extremely inexperienced FO is rostered with a 1200 hour/1500 total hour or 50 hour on type Captain. That does happen and it does lead to theatrical scenes in the cockpit which would be best played out in the comedy section of the theatre although all too often it's the sad mask of tragedy which attends such a coupling of inexperience and lack of ability.

And ...Twotter, pray, what was the sport, was it cricket? A gentleman name Charles Fortune (remember him?) told me once that cricket was the oldest sport in the world and that this ditty proves it: "Father has a bat and ball, Mother has a wicket, Every night they go to bed, And play a game of Cricket"!!
Dreadfully sorry Grim_Reaper old chap, this has crept a tad, hasn't it?!!
