Unsurprised

Perhaps the beancounters and ginger beers can prevent these types of situations by building an aircraft with quintuple redundancy in every aspect of instrumentation, navigation equip., flight controls, hydraulics and engine control. That way all pilots can avoid those tricky situations when only raw data is available.

In the mean time what needs to be done to close the 'skill-gap' between the last generation of pilots and the new?
