Kids with only a few hours on type and 6 landings under their belt have no place in the pointy end of any aircraft anywhere.
How does any pilot ever become experienced on type then?

As usual there are many potentially valid issues to come from this accident but they are lost in tidal waves of drivel.

'cldrvr' you are entitled to your opinion but I don't think it is valid. The facts regarding EZY and RYR do not support your allegations and engineering standards in RYR are first class. Training standards are widely held to be very good and the airline does not operate on a P2F basis. Stick to the matter in hand please.

Lionair, though, is P2F in it's purest form, is blacklisted by the EU and has a habit of bending aeroplanes. Maybe they just have a lot of bad luck. However, as yet we have no idea whether technical or other issues were a factor and any pontificating is baseless speculation at the moment.
