That's where we differ, vilas. Following a G/S with 2000 FPM through 1000 feet AFE (stabilization criteria, anyone?!! if nothing else for Pete's sake) IS a LACK OF FLYING SKILL. Not of handling skills necessarily (is that what you meant perhaps), but the cognitive and situational awareness as well as predicting the trajectory in 4D is completely missing = no flying skill.

For the record here, I no longer believe an (untrapped) G/S fluctuation is all of the story here. Have no better explanation, but refusing to accept they would watch it go down like that. Let's see.
