'more training' suggested by many seems to offer very few benefits.
IF it was weather related we may finally know in a few days, hopefully!

I, for one, would like to see more training in actual small planes, getting pilots to know the air and what it does, not just some pre-planned prepared sim button pushings. Of course bean counters will scoff at this, but I am thinking Logan Air, Braathens, Buffalo Air, Suzy Air etc. Excellent training for pilots to FEEL the element they are moving in.

Weatherwise, a CB in Indonesia is totally different from a CB in Sweden or over bigger parts of the US. In Sweden it is too cold to get any Godzilla CBs and in the US it gets big but it hasn't the ocean current beneath it to make it Godzilla. (Ok, except for the states close to the Mexican Gulf.)
