This is what happens when the industry spends the last decade putting cadets with <200 hours straight onto Airbus'.
Airlines with pilots who don't know how to "fly"

Sadly this trend is continuing as well.
I thought the AF crash might have changed things, but the industry seemed to brush that under the carpet
The Americans have learned though, after that crash, and a few accidents on their own soil, and are making their system even more secure, ensuring people can't get onto an Airbus, or even a Boeing for that matter, until they have real experience

Maybe a 320 on the roof of EASA HQ in Köln is what it will take for things to improve in Europe.
I hope the industry wakes up before that happens.
