Yeah... just because an unqualified captain with training difficulties, who could not first of all manage the situation, changing his decisions many times placed his passengers and crew in danger may be an acceptable level of performance amongst his peers. We can all be thankful that there was no smoking hole left in the desert because of this fiasco. IMHO nepotism got him on the property and pushed through training despite his poor performance during training.
The captain is part of the problem. The training and checking system not limited to AI is also the problem.
Isn’t it a shame that the “good old boys” network is alive and well among every airline on the planet.
The man does not belong in the cockpit. I'm sure he would be an OK guy to down a King Fisher, er pardon the pun, at the pub.
