_Phoenix "AirAsia type of accident can happen anywhere in the world today!"
Too many similar accidents and incidents point on pilot skills and automation adiction, but personally I think that the main issue is due to huge difference between:
Normal law: "now everyone can fly the automation"
& Alternate law: "experienced captain with over 20k hours under his belt cannot recover from 38000 ft"
I mean, you cannot have grandma and superman under the same skin, anywhere in the world...
Something fundamental has to change, aviate should not start with ctrl+alt+del
If you think that flying an A320 in alternate mode is an achievement, you should consider a reconversion to the ground staff...
