I am so sick of hearing how little B777 time the Flying Pilot had.

It has almost nothing to do with this accident. Ever hour of every day somewhere in the world a pilot is checking out in a new aircraft type. Do you honestly think that those pilots are dangerous and likely to have an accident?

This "Inexperienced pilot" had 10,000 hours! He probably had months of B777 Classroom and Simulator experience. He was Type-Rated on the B777 and was now doing his series of Line Indoctrination flights on this new type

How much more experience do you think he needed before he should be allowed near a B777?
