Tyreplug - Are you insane ? the Captain had 3000hrs total, 1500 on type and was 44 years old. I don't consider that alot of experience to be honest, and the age against hours indicates a 'career changer'.
Did you see the First Choice 767 damage photos contained in the AAIB bulletin of the previous month? 14,000 hr skippers can make mistakes too. I take issue with the crass "flybe monthly" comment; 2 out of 4 events reported in the last few months were due to technical faults rather than crew error/low experience.
