Check Airman
You have the right to disagree. What I meant was till the pilot is trained to safe level of competence. Just because a big operator did it doesn't justify an incident. In airbus there is unambiguous warning about take off thrust not set. The procedure is to simply advance the thrust levers to TOGA. It cannot be considered a complex procedure. Pilots are humans they make mistakes nobody has any problem with that but the particular accident is full of nonstandard actions by the pilots. Mistakes compounded by mistakes. FMGS work is two man operation, then independent check by the other pilot and then lack of knowledge about what to do on take off run when the thrust is not set. Anyway the aircraft was airborne, now to rejecting take off was an insane act. Imagine the pilot dealing with a complex procedure at his level of competence. If you are comfortable with your family travelling with a pilot with this level of competence what objection can I have.
