No, we are seeing absolute bread-and-butter - very easy manoeuvres - that are being botched - in some cases with fatal results. Why? No pilot goes to work intending to do a bad job, so what is going on with selection, testing and recurrent training?
We have really got ourselves to blame really for becoming operators rather than pilots. 6-month scripted recurrent training does not necessarily prepare you for life on the line.
Flying the later approach manually may not have been the wisest decision under the circumstances - but it shouldn't have been a problem. That's the elephant in the room. We're really only a failure from a total **** show.
With the risk how hubris. I was FO to a Captain how tried a to pull off a raw data to a 200 ft ceiling after he had seen me do a couple during the day. It didn't end well, he asked if I could take over (big of him!) which I did. Below the deck I gave it back to him so he could practice his smooth landings.
