Agree with all who suggest better pilot training & back to the basics culture. Recent incidents & accidents will continue while we have guys pushing buttons, quizzing the FMC etc, instead of flying the plane. On my first transport type following highly selective An Initio Sponsored Taining, Capt turned to me & said "In the event of a GA, it will be PARFU". Confused, I stopped him there & asked, politely, "What the hell is PARFU ?". He replied; Power,Attitude,Radio,Flaps.Undercarriage. New to me but I adopted it on all susequent types (mentally). Works from Cessna 150 - A380. (with obvious slight modification). Aaaah, but that was when top instructors taught us to FLY planes.
