It's quite possible, those things first learned are those things best remembered.

If it works in a Beech Baron an Airbus should be easy.

This pilot shortage is going to be hell for third world airlines, corner will be cut and your not going to have the best and brightest pilots sitting up front.

Didn't India revoke a few hundred licences a couple years ago due to fraudulent logs and training.

I recall a Training Captain a number of years ago that took a contract over there with one of the newers airlines Spice Jet if I recall correctly. He would set up the pilot 3 miles from the runway at 1000 AGL, Severe Clear weather. And then would do something egregious he would fail the Auto Pilot and of course the ILS was offline.

he stated 9 out of 10 couldn't hit the runway and the one who did wrote the plane off. He left soon into his contract after catching hell from management when he refused to sign off some captains.
