Basic skill sets notwithstanding, any pilot/crew are only as good as the training they receive, period. And I say again, to fire/terminate/dismiss these pilots BEFORE the official investigation has been completed is prehistoric-style HR management.
Generally speaking, if crews are deviating from published SOP's, there is a reason.....intentional non-compliance, lapse or what have you. Either way, I'm sure the enlightened management at First Air will be falling all over themselves to share with the world their Just Culture assessment of the incident. Iditots.
