Alright already! We all know that... what's the solution? I'll tell you: get pilots engaged in "flying" a bit more! You lot can waffle on about SOPs and not knowing the ins and outs of the grand airbii and intricacies of other types all you like but if pilots don't have basic flying skill, mainly because they are not allowed to keep current doing it, then don't blame them when the likes of AF447 happens.
