Hey, steady guys.
I'm not defending the flight crew or bagging Airbus. I missed that point in the volumes of information on this accident that I have read over the months & didn't want to assume anything. I am simply trying to have those on this thread who feel that the crew were competent understand why they may not have realised they were in a stall.
My personal opinion is much harsher than that. I believe that the crew were of below average flying ability, were inadequately trained & had no business being in the flightdeck of a jet transport aircraft. I also believe that this situation has become more prevalent in recent years, as a large number of the accidents over the last few years has shown.
I also believe that this situation is the single largest latent failure in the industry today & will continue to be in evidence in accidents over the years to come.
