BmPilot21,
I agree with you that well trained low time first officers are capable of performing successfully (and do, having just returned from a multi-day duty with a very new copilot who made my few days a breeze due to his competence). I would not, though, get too excited about the so called fantastic training provided by your country and company, although i'm sure it was very good, I think you'll find that the training you speak of can be found world wide. What is important is the individuals approach and execution of his/her training and profession, as you have aptly mentioned.
I believe that the root cause of this accident lays with the companies command selection procedures and has less to do with the experience level of the first officer.
