All right, i totally agree with that, but what happens with all the guys (believe me, we´re a lot) who have been type rated only because we were supposed to go and fly there? who have been wating for months?, even leaving our previous jobs? i mean, we were about to leave and sudenly we find ourselves with this crazy situation!!??
Every country should take care of their own citizens, i really think so, but doing it like this, they´re playing with our hopes, our passions and with our lives.

As far as my experience flying for a big cargo company based in India, when they need you bad, they will treat you like a god, fatten you up in terms of money etc, then afterwards, when they have used you up and no longer need your services, trust me, they will drop you like a hot potato. 
good thing i had a back-up plan.
just my experience worth two cents,

professionalism
desi pilot
more experience in the cockpit but more ego as well. You really need great CRM in there for things to go smoothly) but thats only my view and it doesn't count
i don"t think any professional carries his ego from home all the way to work place.
my view about professionals is that they concentrate on job in hand rather than having Egoistic attitude at work.

This is bull. They are lazy and only 10 % are worth of try. Rest are collecting money and nothing else. If expats go just a matter of time how many accidents will be. Even now you have one incident a day. So good luck who wants to come I am going out soon.

Makes you wonder...
Me: When was the last time you did a night landing?
FO: Last night.
Me: Ok..you have the controls for the landing.
Few minutes later...On a visual app..you're little high....Look you're too high. I have the controls. I asked him what happend? FO: Aircraft wasn't going down. What the hell? This guys has several thousand hours on the 320. Totally clueless, sits there and say nothing, with a stupid look on his face.
Jazbag..Remember those good old days...when Airbus took the planes away from you guys?...why?

KF320:
How about mentioning all those times when the FO did a bang up job of getting the ac on the ground. Some people are just not meant to be in the cockpit.. it could be an 'experienced' FO as well as a so called type rated expat.
Painting a whole category of pilots which such a broad stroke doesn't validate your anecdotes in any shape or form.
Maybe you're not a TRI/TRE... but don't you think a little advice and instructing would've helped the bloke do a half decent job the next time you guys fly together?
I pick the brains of my captains local and expat sometimes to their annoyance. But almost never has a captain not availed of an opportunity to train or coach me to do a better job next time. The only one time that happened was with a curt I'll do my job.. you do yours... and that was from an expat. Based on that anecdote I can easily conclude that all expats are tightwads who are here to make sure the other guy never learns.
