B772 Quote:-"As a matter of interest there is a report saying the F/O only had approx. 100 hours on the A320. In hindsight the Captain should have relieved himself during the turnaround."
100 hours on a short haul LCC equates to quite a reasonable number of sectors. The F/O should have been quite capable of operating the aircraft by this stage - there was no Safety Pilot and I haven't seen anything to suggest that the F/O was still under training.
The tragedy was not, at this stage of the investigation, caused by the F/O's incompetence.
Under the circumstances I think that it is grossly unfair to suggest what the Captain should have done.
