All valid points
But isn't it a sad reflection of today's aviation world when the acceptable level of pilot training has been reduced to such a low standard that a crew can't operate basic stick and rudder to maintain an otherwise serviceable aircraft in the cruise without stalling and taking a 32,000 ft dive into the ocean
The blame for this can be directly attributed to the bean counters who fail to see any obvious return for the costs involved in crew training so it simply isn't done
Talk about the Swiss cheese model , unacceptable maintenance standards coupled with inept, undertrained crew and tragically we are seeing the result.
