At Last - A Voice of Reason

[Jabiman]

FB,
Not sure which of my arguments are emotive as such would be easily disproved.
I do not intend to debate the merits of pilot training here as this is a subject for another thread and may be easily researched here:

In regards to these submissions I do find it interesting though that the airlines and training organisations are unanimous in their agreement that the cheapest ‘user pays’ method of training is equal to the more traditional method of recruiting experienced aviators.
Since I am being accused of being emotive, then how about this:

Neither the PIC’s nor the copilot’s training or experience, when coupled with the unexpected distractions and workload during the event, enabled them to quickly diagnose the situation during the early part of the first missed approach. For a period of approximately 48 seconds, they were uncertain as to what the automated flight control system of the aircraft was doing, or why.

Is this another report about Air India? No, this is from an ATSB report about a Jetstar crew.
