There is obviously a serious trend developing in, what appears to be, inadequacies of pilot training - in all parts of the World.

This can't be helped by PTF schemes and the like which run in opposition to historic pilot training philosophies.
Amen! I have been stating that for years now. The situation is appalling.
Asiana, Air France, TransAsia, you name it....... It is not only the PTF, but generally the speedy careers that scare. No experience and training depth, just cheap and reduced to the bone syllaby and speedy benedictions from corrupt regulators. The Ab Initio careers popping up all along the rising air-travel countries are a perfect negative example. From zero to hero with the local passport, the pushing pride of the nation and some blind eyes of regulators and postholders of training and fleet.

No aftermath training can compensate for jumping steps, the best safety margin is genuine experience. You have the crying negative-example displaying on youtube now. QED!!!!!!
But i guess it will be rapidly forgotten or oversampled by the next catastrophe the all the responsible jerks will cynically call "unbelievable and unforeseeable" .

In the US congress at least there was a wake-up call regarding training, remuneration and fatiguing contracts. At least something has been done there, but they still have a horde of "Asianas" flying through their territory ......... and nothing is done due to their own "authority" on their airmen.
