Libyan pilots

I have no idea about the young Libyan pilots, but I know that a lot of the "old" Libyan pilots of my generation (some 40 or 50 of them) are working with Qatar Airways on state-of-the-art equipment and they are doing very nicely thank you. The Qataris are very happy with them and they have been there for many years since the embargo. I have heard of a lot dumber accidents commited by American and European carriers. I think that ICAO should seriously penalise airports that dont come up to scratch, that is where the main blame lies. This was an accident WAITING to happen, and it could have happened to a Mexican, Chinese or a Swedish pilot, so lets keep prejudice out of this sad event.
