gargelblaster and others:
why did I want to know who was pilot flying? because the landing , (regardless of the fly by wire vs non fly by wire control methods), was just that bad. the lack of "keeping the right wing down, or at worst, level, really seemed like something an inexperienced pilot would allow to happen.
the "der spiegel" article seems to confirm that the copilot was pilot flying.
the copilot was 24 years old. the captain 39. even assuming that they both learned to fly at age 17, the 24 year old had 7 years of experience and the captain had 22 years experience.
experience does matter. method of training matters. the only real question now is why did the captain let the copilot do the landing if it was such a bad day?
was the captain a training captain/check airman etc.?
and just in case you think my concern is gender related, it is not. it is experience related.
does this answer your question?
