"The pilot-in-command had 2,500 hours of flight and the second pilot had 1,900 hours," he said.
2500 ??????? Not only he never did a go around as he didn`t experienced a lot more things to give him enough airmanship to be a Captain.

I know it is legal , but upgrading someone with 2500 is criminal in my opinion.I`m saying 2500 because it what he had at the time of the accident , but he might well be upgrade with a lot less than that.

In Asia we have first officers who only fly as PNF, and one day are moved up. They become Captains with 150 landings in their lives and 2700 TT.

It`s really scary !!!
