It's not the aircraft that's the problem, the aircraft type is fine. It serves its purpose. You need to look at the quality of pilot in the RHS. Here you have a zero hour pilot being thrusted into an aircraft they simply are not ready for. What happened to the days of earning a position in something this size? Given, this is standard practise in South East Asia, and a lot worse has happened and in much larger aircraft. Time to stop thinking about short term gain with this P2F revolution (abomination) and think about the bigger picture. The vast majority of hull losses in SEA are due to pilot error, very rarely the aircraft itself. It's a shame that hull loses are a given in this part of the world, when they don't have to be. Glad all pax and crew are safe.
