I think the real question here is : Why do airlines think it is OK to use less and less experienced pilots?

For example; the sort of pilot who has no experience of "real" aircraft, say turbo prop twins, that they think it is reasonable to hold full back stick/yoke in a stall situation - and they think that by doing so they will recover and fly out of the situation? Or that it's OK to viciously 'pump' the rudder pedals through turbulence, which snaps the fin off.

What is the airline's end-game here?
