I think the evidence will be interesting, if all of it is presented.
There have been a number of fatal accidents with very experienced crew and without a doubt there will be more, just where and when is the question.
A current thread on PPRuNE has said that not long ago any "pilot with a pulse" could get a job at a number of USA companies on a E3 visa. Also the progression to captain was extremely fast!
Now add in the overtime (fatigue) to bolster the base pay and an insecure future (no
PR option on the E3) and we have a few holes in the American cheese lining up.
I find it interesting that the same folk that are blaming foreign crew training/skill are quiet on computer based training subject.
