Give it a rest, Guv, Toli and co. what better environment is there than a professional, well run airline for a new pilot to gain experience. Everyone has to start somewhere and merely having a low number of hours is not a recipe for an air crash. Every 25000hr captain had to pass the 300hr barrier, and the vast majority manage to do it without crashing an aircraft. I believe it is far better to gain your experience under the watchful eye of an experienced captain than to be let lose on a single pilot nighttime freight or airtaxi operation. Yes, you might scare yourself silly, and if you crash you are only going to kill yourself (and maybe a 3 or 4 pax, and maybe a few people on the ground) and if you survive the job, move onto jets after 200 hours or so. It doesn't mean that you have an inate ability to fly a jet, or that you have a full understanding of 2 crew operations. No one knows yet what caused this crash. It may be pilot error, it may be something else. But until the truth is known, stop laying into the crew. As professionals on this website have little respect for the other less fortunate professionals out there, and if you are not a pilot (Guv), then frankly you have no idea what it is like anyway and should retire gracefully from the discussion.
