Mods, I resubmit this (lost) post as being relevant to side discussions on human-automation interaction, and of the perception of industry experience relating to this accident.
Or if for no other reason to provide alternative views of safety thinking.
Longtimer, ‘…
can it be an over reliance on Auto everything rather than on basic flying skills …’
First it is necessary to show that flying skill is an issue, vs not understanding the situation;-

Second, consider why the vast majority of normal operations are safer - probably with a positive contribution from automation.
Lookleft ‘…
lack of skills and experience.’
Experience must be qualified with context - the situation.
The industry has a very high level of experience for normal tasks, everyday flying is very safe.
However, many accidents suggest reduced levels of experience, but to be qualified by - ‘in the situations encountered’.

Normal ops - journeymen and masters
Abnormal events - novice apprentices
