Doesn't it boil down to this?

Rotten Training.

Questionable Basic flying skills and fundamentals of understanding of energy management.

Terrible over sight by local FAA equivilent.

Money being spent to buy planes but not train pilots to a real understanding as well as proficiency in the art of flying in normal and non normal situations.

I would add this: is it proper to sell a gun to a 5 year old? is it proper to sell a complicated airplane to an airline that can't handle the training and repair? It makes sense to me that some countries, some airlines are not ready to handle things to high western standards. PERHAPS the answer is to wet lease planes and crews from the manufacturer who will bear all training costs and mx costs and responsbilities/liabilities for the wet lease cost.
