Two things;

First: The 90 degrees nose down attitude on the Airbus I fly is the same as the 30 degrees nose down attitude on the PFD. A segment of sky always remains at the top. The same is true for nose up. So in a highly stressful scenario 30 ND which is pretty bad is visually identical to 90 ND which is pretty much certain death. FDs are automatically removed beyond normal attitude.

Second:

Asiana 214

LHS U/S Captain 45 years old 9,000+ hours
RHS PiC Captain 49 years old, 12,000+ hours
FO Observer Seat 40 years old, hours not readily available

SJY 182

LHS PiC Captain 54 years old 17,000+ hours
RHS FO 34 years old 5,000+ hours

Can't find anything about the British Airways flight in a sandstorm but I'll take a WAG and assume the PiC had thousands of hours and was/is highly trained and the FO was similarly trained.

Can anyone point out the "rookie pilot who has received only basic and abbreviated training directly onto a LoCo modern jet" in any of these three modern events? Can anyone who makes such assertions point out the consistent pattern of events that allow investigators to attribute 'low hours/LoCo' as a causal factor?

I would expect better analysis from a professional pilot.
