Chris S, you are right, I am not aircrew. My profile is clear that I am an engineer. I have worked in military and civil aviation all my life and latterly (>15 years) in airworthiness and safety. I think that means that I qualify for this forum. There are aspects of this thread that do come across as people closing ranks. this was particularly so in the early pages.
The AAIB Special Bulletin alludes to issues that are common in many accidents. I have little doubt that several issues I suggested will feature and that we will see changes to relations. As BEagle points out, the pilot met the currency requirements. The next question should be whether those requirements are sufficient for this type of activity? On the face of it, 40hrs on type over 4 years seems very little.
Wiggy, you will also note that I referred to supervision, management, currency, etc.
