If those 2 planes could have been saved by better pilot training is very much an orthogonal discussion.

And those fundamental and indisputable points have been discussed over and over, so why do you have a problem with people discussing pilot training?
To take a contrarian viewpoint: If an aircraft is not safe to be operated by airlines in countries whose pilots are not top-notch, then it should not be sold to those airlines/countries. Or fix the aircraft, so that it is safe to be operated by less-than-perfect pilots. End of (my version of) the story...

The implication is that training outside the US and other "first world" countries is not up to standard. That may or may not be true, but nobody on this forum has control over all of those countries, and that discussion belongs elsewhere on the forum.
