I'd suspect it's similar in other countries.
But when those local pilots do not have any experience on the complex type being used, or any relevant role experience in a modern glass cockpit aircraft, the pitfalls of which have grave consequences unless the proper experience and currency, and refuse to listen to those who have that experience and advice to offer at least in the short term to get things moving..... That's the first hole in the swiss cheese.
