Often after an accident you see the phrase "the pilot did a fantastic job", or "he was a great pilot". I wish people would refrain from this because nobody actually knows and while I'm not speculating on this accident no one knows until a report is published. These phrases often cause intense embarrassment when it's not actually the case.
A few years ago not far from here there was a crash that killed everyone on board. The pilot was feted in the media, by his family etc. until the dreadful truth was known. That this individual should have had his licence removed years before for gross incompetence.
Not commenting on this accident as above.
