Lion Air - preliminary accident report
http://tinyurl.com/bhzdbdc
here's the tl;dr:
F/O flying VOR approach in IMC
continues below the 465ft MSL (454ft AGL) minimum
at 150ft RA the Captain takes over controls and CONTINUES TO DESCEND
at 20ft RA they finally try to go around.
seconds later they're in the drink
just in case someone needed a reminder why they should never put the family on one of these carriers

... And paying them such a pathetic package that a good portion will leave once they have any type of useful experience in the right seat. Good for CX present and future!!!
Looking at the PICs information in S.15.1, something doesn't seem quite right:
Flying experience
Last 90 days : 279 hours 8 minutes
Last 60 days : 20 hours 51 minutes
258 hours and 17 minutes in the 30-day period from day 90 to day 60??
Or am I reading that wrong?

Looks like you're reading that right, SIUYA, but I suspect it's a typo. There's no line in there for "Last 30 Days," or "Last 7 days," so I suspect it should read one of those instead.

the interesting part - PR wise is:
this one will be remembered as the Lion Air Windshear accident, because that's what the Captain very publicly claimed and that's what was published in the media the day after.
No Journalist gives a flying f*ck about it anymore now, it won't see any publicity except maybe a 2 liner on page 7 or so.
