Huck I am confused, are you saying FX training has improved as a result of the Narita accident or was it always excellent? I appreciate you are now on a different aircraft, but presumably you still have an insight.
If I understood you correctly you earlier said that experience also did not play a role with the Narita crew. If we rule out training and experience it looks like the average pilot on a bad day in the MD11 may simply be unable to cope with what would be no big deal on most other aircraft.
The two recent accidents, LH and FX we have been discussing, happened to airlines who are well up the league table in terms of pay and conditions. Maybe the aircraft needs to be treated like Concorde with additional selection and presumably rewards for those who are above average within the company.
By the way the guys at BA who failed the Concorde course did not get fired they just went back to their previous aircraft.
