Scary hearing the lack of SA onboard CPA. Seems those guys need a bit more time bombing around in a small airplane. When ATC clears them for a visual 28L follow the UAL jet, things should have been easier, but instead it seems it made it harder. Easiest thing should have been, AP off, FD off, A/THR off and fly the airplane. Instead it was painful listening to those guys, sounded very overwhelmed. How much experience are Cathay pilots being hired with these days?
personally I suspect the only experience the CX pilots may have been lacking is the experience of sleep
