Just throwing this out there....

Now we all know someone with a newly printed cpl, they most proberly would give their right arm for a chance to fly with an experianced pilot on these charter flights. Most are proberly trained at the company doing the flights anyway. wouldnt it make it a win win for all if an sic was in there helping the work load........

It might help avoid this type of accident in the future.
Again, unrelated to this incident:

Not necessarily. In good weather and a low workload environment (a teaching environment) yes. Otherwise, the very inexperienced pilot is just one more unpredictable system to manage. It isn't as cut and dried as people on here make out.

There is also the issue of cost for getting this student up to speed. I'd be extremely surprised to see a CPL course being run on a 109.
