not a good thing for aviation. Many of the international students trained in the Phoenix area are being trained as career first officers. They have zero to nill solo time as most of the their training is accomplished with an instructor. Sure, they can go through an emergency checklist but when faced with something outside of the checklists they freeze up.
An actual personal experience; a Chinese student training on a King Air couldn't tell the instructor what the name of a certain light located on the tail of the aircraft was. Answer: the beacon light....
I bet if you were trained for a Boeing or Airbus as a career first officer, you wouldn't be complaining. I know I wouldn't. 250 hours and typed?!
