Your comments are spot on.
While hard to accept by some, they are none the less realistic.
Training is of vital importance. Experience is not a word to be used or wasted on those with less than a senible amount of 'time' in the air. Experience is priceless and 200-300 hours doesn't cut it. Anyone with less than 1000 hours of REAL ME/IMC EXPERIENCE has no business operating an aircraft like this. Full stop! If indeed the people involved have the level of experience mentioned in these posts.
While this comment is surely to draw guffaws and negativity from some on this forum. It doesn't change a thing.
No one nationality has a monopoly on licencing and licencing standards. Or intellect. The industry is rife with minimum standards. Whoever allowed this level of experience on the flight deck of this aircraft needs to immediately re-evaluate his flight deck resources.
Human Factors safety research will also confirm this fact and anyone studying the subject will agree with either of our statements.
These accidents are tragic. Our sentiments and condolences surely and unanimously go out to all of those involved or affected.
The picture in aviation right now is desperate and getting worse by the day.
