I hope the AAIB, who are going to be looking into this, have a really good look at these two pilots’ previous experience. I do not mean their recent experience but their overall claimed total experience for licence issue.
There have been many accidents in the past where claimed experience has not been substantiated. The Basle Vanguard accident immediately comes to mind.
The AAIB should ensure that claimed experience is genuine.
I have heard they have both been let go. Can anyone confirm?
