Very Sad day. For such a major event I am shocked at how little news coverage in the UK. I fear this is another handling issue. Automation dependency is the biggest threat we face in the modern world and what we are witnessing is more and more loss of control of large Aircraft. Let's follow the FAA - world leading and respected throughout the world, let's get back to how Europe was 20 years ago. No Airline would touch Pilots unless they had bags of experience - Thousands of hand flying hours in most cases. We need to get back to basics.
