Absolutely agree! Lufthansa refused the night visual separation a couple of years ago at SFO for this very reason! They were punished by US ATC because of this! We must never take these stupid risks with passengers onboard!
But what will be the response to this crash? Increase the 1500 hour rule most likely.... Europe has guys with 200 hours flying 737s and A320s between countries where English is the 2nd language!
