Dani, commercial aviation has long been a worldwide industry, so what happens over there, and what happens over here, have much to do with eachother. Our trends end up accross the water and vice versa. The question must be asked: If Air France has some of the highest paid pilots, why did Air France not get what they paid for on AF447? I hear that the asian airlines are paying the most now, by the way. Anyway, I'm for better training, whether it be "Know your aircraft/equipment", "basic flying skills" or filtering out jittery pilots or some or all of them. Although Airbus could make some improvments, like having the aircraft default to a safe power and pitch, when the airspeed is unknown, I have to put the blame on Air France for not properly training it's pilots in the case of the AF447 crash.
