Cool

Hi,

Not saying they did anything wrong just wondering if more experience might have saved them
This sentence is very interesting ..
For the passenger perspective:
The passenger has no right before boarding to learn about the experience of the pilot(s) in charge and therefore can not refuse to board if it deems that this is insufficient experience
On the other hand, an airline must (should?) ensure that all pilots she hire have sufficient experience to cope with all situations and the plane is technicaly fit to fly safely.
It is incomprehensible (always at the point of view passenger) that some accidents (with the same cases) have happy endings and other evils .. and it was due to a difference of experience ....
The recent A380 case seem's to fit ...
Until these problems are not resolved to fly is always a gamble despite all the propaganda was made about the increased security .. aircraft safer .. etc. ..
