I have all of those credentials also but it just gives you a pilots license to learn how to fly an airplane. The FO of the A300 had nothing to do with the crash that day. The NTSB could not blame airbus for that crash so blamed the dead FO. Look at the pictures of the vertical stab that separated from the airplane and see how when we got the airplane it was stapled and how the failure was parallel to the staples they put in to repair it. I also took the AARP course at AA emphasizing the use of rudder at high angle of attack low speed recovery but at 250 knots everybody knows roll recovery is primarily aileron input.
