compared to other recent crashes, where airmanship certainly didn't help matters (but also didn't cause the crashes) it would be good to see what piloting experience the two Russian crew had. I'm thinking ex-military, gliders etc. The crew here, much like the BA 777 at LHR, and Sully, handled the 30 seconds or so they had, including the startle factor, amazing well. It was all muscle memory and instinctive airmanship.

If there is a review of pilot training, experience levels, sim session, HR factors, CRM in the wake of MCAS, then I hope the good outcome incidents also get examined to add to the evidence considered.
