Incompetence - maybe? But expect to see and hear a lot more of these kind of events. It has been widely reported in various outlets about pilots losing their skills over the past 18-24 months, well the same goes for those of us on the ground. What was a natural process a couple of years ago, now takes a bit more time and thought. I'm getting back onto A380s in the next few weeks as a Licensed Engineer and expect I'll need a few days, maybe weeks to get back into the groove of where things are, quick resets, processes etc....just hope I don't end up being part of a similar event! Maybe not so quick with the judgement.
