I am looking again for a comment or article I read some time ago which IF my recollection is correct, 3 FAA employed pilots were set up in the Boeing ? Eng ? sim with the ethopia scene. They knew what and probably when to expect and the ' cure' Two of the pilots ' saved ' the plane, ONE did not. The two who saved the plane were ex military ( fighter ? or transport ? ) pilots. The one who failed was or had been a many hour Airline type.
And as I recall ( please correct ) - the ethopia takeoff was at 7k MSL on a warm day, with rising terrain in front.
IF i am correct- then consider that a 66 percent survival rate under ideal conditions does not give anyone a warm fuzzy . . .
