I am not sure about your xenophobia comment but the US requires 1500 hours to fly as a copilot for a air carrier. Europe has lower hour requirements but very tough testing standards. Several African airlines were seeing very low pass rates on candidates they sent to Europe or the US for training. They initiated their own in house training programs and now enjoy a near 100% pass rate and drop them into the right seat with 200 hours. The global statistics for jet hull losses in 2019 was .15 per million flight hours. Africa was 1.39.
