Well, there are two elephants in this particular room. The airworthiness is a foundation layer root cause, but quite how a pilot with limited currency/recency on a high performance jet can end up in a position of publicly displaying said jet should also be a question for the CAA. Of course, because there are two elephants it's almost a circus, so the CAA are eminently qualified to wade in at this point.
