Instead of the Authorities going mad and chopping everyone in the skill test, why not see the crews are trained in the first instance? However, try as we may we will never eliminate human error, never. We all now have a fair idea what happened. The question is why?? Basics not being addressed??

Was about to inquire as to the experience requirements of crews there but there seemed to be a lot of total hours, in that cockpit.

Why not just order more detailed retraining in a calm and relaxed manner?

As to auto feather.

Why is the propeller programmed to feather with somewhere near 50% power available? That little bit of power, would money in the bank, during EFATO. Goodness me, even a burning engine (underslung) is giving power, so we should use it as long as we dare. Yes I am aware, uncontained fire must be dealt with pretty quick.
