DC, it was night time so hopefully the reason he pulled up was just that he didn't know how to hand fly and decided to pull up for no good reason. Now we can prevent this from happening again by teaching people how to hand fly an airliner so it doesn't happen again.

To do this you have to hire more qualified people to fly your jets. People that could pass an ATP check ride for instance without an autopilot. Remember, that is what we did back when even with that you were lucky to get an airline job. We could even figure out how to do things in an airplane we hadn't been trained for because we were pilots, not programmers.

Only this will require paying more than 18K per year for a 300 hr pilot mill graduate. That is the part airline management hates.
