Sure , this guy had plenty of hours but at least 75% of them would have been whilst asleep
!!!!!!!!!!.
Many hours do not make an experienced Captain in a lot of circumstances and this is a prime example.
Experience is learned and can't be done whilst asleep.
A pilots hours are a good yardstick but it's very important to see just what those hours were gained on and under what conditions.
I am not an airline pilot but fly corporate jets as a Captain
I used to fly a number pf piston twins totalling 3000 hrs, often low level ( 10,000 -12000 feet in the worst weather,icing and turbulence! Often single pilot, day/ night, often OCAS and often into airfields which had poor or no instrument approaches. This meant a lot of creative flying.
Now its in jets which climb relatively quickly, are far more reliable than the pistons, go above the weather in CAS from start to finish as part of a crew.
The Piston twins were far more demanding and harder to fly making you think for yourself more especially operating in IMC OCAS than the jets
