In Sri Lanka, pilots get paid an average of $10,000 or a Tk833,000, more than triple the pay in Bangladesh. Most pilots in Bangladesh come from Bangladesh Air Force after completing their training. But, companies like US-Bangla Airlines or Regent Airlines seldom have their pilots trained at any first-class training institutions like Oxford Aviation Academy or Flying Time Aviation Global. Instead, Bangladeshi airlines have their pilots trained at the Jakarta Aviation Training Centre or similar institutes, which are considered to be a class beneath the former two. Several commercial pilots confided to the Dhaka Tribune that whereas Biman Bangladesh Airlines has its pilots trained from British and American aviation schools, most private airlines in prefer to provide their pilots with sub-standard training.
