The evidence is at the bottom of the South Atlantic and with the number of pilots who sit next to me who have never taken an aircraft past 60 degrees of bank.
You believe that the pilots of AF447 (I assume this is what you are alluding to, although technically it was the North Atlantic,) did their basic training under EASA? Each of the Three pilots on board joined Air France prior to EASA's existence. The pilots that "sit next to (you)" are also flying perfectly serviceable aircraft into the ground. Really?

A very tortured argument as I am sure you will agree. However, shall we list the very long history of examples of high time, highly experienced, and very "pre-EASA" crews who have indeed flown otherwise serviceable aircraft into the ground. That is much easier, but I guess doesn't add weight to your very light argument.
