You conflating Boing and the US FAA. While one may understandably question Boings credibility, the FAA does not deserve that characterization. The FAA pilot licensing program is often criticized for its bureaucratic excesses, but few would question the credibility of a FAA issued license.

Vietname Airlines has 102 planes, VietJet has 75, JetStar has 18 and Bamboo Airways has 25. That's 220 planes there so the number of pilots doesn't seem out of line.

The total number of planes seems a lot to me too, had no idea they had that many. I flew from Tan Son Nhat to Qui Nhơn once on VN Airlines in 2013 and the plane had ash trays...hadn't seen that since I was a kid.
