If one of the other crews mentioned in the report, who didn't handle their one of the 32 other UAS well, had been in the AF447 situation at that height, time of day, flight deck situation (2 x F/O) etc. etc., would they have done better? I wouldn't bet on it. That's all I'm saying.
I, perhaps naively, somehow hope that pilots being competent to fly a plane are still the norm rather than the exception, but maybe you're right and the odds are decreasing. If so, we can only hope that AF447 will be a wakeup call, the price was high enough.
