@sheppey, completely wrong conclusion. There was a similar incident about 12 years ago at lufthansa out of HAJ at night. They struck a flock of geese on climb out and suffered a complete loss of thrust on one engine and heavy damage on the other one. Crew was a training captain and a fresh cadet out of their own training program. Both had started with the airlines flying school and went onto jets with minimum hours. They simply did what they were trained to do and landed after a normal circuit without the need to fly at 300ft AGL around the countryside for a considerable time.

The issue is not experience, the issue is training. Bad or no training and something like the case discussed in this thread might happen, good training and it is a lot more unlikely.
